the tastes are really subjective....i've been smoking cigars for more than 35 years...never smoked a cigarette,btw.......the only tastes i've ever sensed are coffee,chocolate,or maybe licorice....i sense spicy sometimes...but never a specific spice...strength is easy...but a cigar may affect you differently depending on the time of the day...the temperature outside,etc etc.....don't be intimidated...it is what it is...if you enjoy the cigar..that's all that counts...


if one day while you're smoking a cigar...and enjoying it...you feel that it tastes like something...that's it!!!...it's what it tastes like to YOU!!!...
