Tasting Cigars

[hex1848]

Most of the time I simply sit back and smoke a cigar and don’t pay too much attention to the flavors associated with any given smoke. However If I’m sitting down to review a cigar I try to really pay attention to what flavors I’m tasting as I smoke. Most of the times it is very subtle in nature, but usually the idea pop’s into my head “hey that tasted kind of creamy or chocolaty”. I write it down, keep smoking and let my olfactory sense and taste buds make the comparisons for me.

It’s really more of a novelty to be honest with you. It’s fun to write "my cigar had subtle hints of cream and a fine leathery aroma". It makes for better reading too ;-)

Just smoke the darn thing and enjoy it!





If you are not enjoying the smoke...drink lots of Scotch!

Thanks for all the replies so far :)

Make no mistake I am enjoying my cigars immensely... but I am also keeping a journal... it is part of the fun for me... that said, any cigar I have when drunk just tends to get edited out of my inventory with no comments . BigPoppaPuff would be proud, the only Macanudo I had was taken out specifically on a night where I knew I would be drinking so much it didn't matter if I smoked it or an envelope . I'm still not sure which I ended up smoking!
