Am I missing something............

[Dickson]

I smoke a lot of cigars, some good some bad. I enjoy a good cigar!!!!

I read about chocalate, spices, cocoa. Very seldom have I tasted these. I couldn't for the life of me give a cgar review. I will say tha I catch a slight buzz from certain cigars.(Maybe it's all in my head) My main cocern is maybe I'm not smoking the way I should.

One more thing, how do you guys remember all the different names?

dickson...i've been smoking cigars for more than thirty years...i'll pick up a chocolate flavor...or coffee...that's it...no roast beef,no cast iron,no leather...but you know something...there's no wrong answer...what does the cigar do for you...that's it...nothing more...enjoy 'em...

If you want to smoke one with a little spice, try a
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel

However, I'll warn you. This smoke has been known to knock even the most season vets to the ground. This is a powerful cigar. However, very delicious! I would recommend smoking this bad boy after you have a VERY large meal.

I taste tobacco.

I taste tobacco.

Yep, That is my conclusion from a similar post of mine. I can't decide what this flavor I keep tasting.... oh Tabacco...

Flavors like that are all subjective and only meant to try and give cigar smokers verbal tools to describe the smoke. If you taste leather or cedar, that doesn't mean you literally taste those things like you're licking a coat or a humidor, only that the combination of smell and taste on your palate remind you of that thing. I find that these descriptive flavors seem to apply more to the aroma than the actual taste on your tongue. It takes a little practice and concentration to pick up subtle flavors and smells and be able to describe them effectively. People who have previous experience at gourmet food, fine wine, and artisian beer tasting have previous practice at this. That certainly doesn't mean you have to do it. It's all a matter of personal preference. Cigar smoking is primarily about enjoyment. Smoke what you like, and smoke it however you like. If you don't want to screw with pretend flavors, by all means don't.

What - you don't taste the overwhelming flavor of bananas in the Phillie Blunts?? Or that fantastic grape flavor in White Owls (Thanks SLC - great smoke!!!)?

Sorry Pierce - couldn't resist... It's the little chimpanzee in me that's just screaming to get out... ooops - wrong board....



I'm just curious, though - how the HELL did this thread get this far without someone cracking a joke??? WTF is going on around here... Buncha panty waists...

Well George I think you're the one who told me to look for hints of oatmeal, bananas, vanilla, sewer rat tails, discarded foreskins, afterbirth and necrotic tissue in my cigars, depending on if I had a premium cigar, dog rocket, or machine made cigar. Good advice, but I've still not experienced the latter four yet. But boy oh boy do I love those sticks with hints of oatmeal and bananas for breakfast....mmmmmm.....breakfast.

This is why I continue to came back. Insiteful, well learned responses. I joined many cigar boards but, I find this to be the most useful and tolerating when I get a buzz from a cigar and forget my place.

No one has mentioned the light aroma of plantains mixed in with a Eue de rice and beans. Bunch of rookies!!!!! Where's Basil?

[pierce652]

My previous post wasnt meant as a put down to the other board, that place is extremely active and informative. Its just that...well...we know were stupid, we dont need it pointed out to us.
