It seems many folks get the impression that when they light up a cigar that they are going to "taste" certain flavors like chocolate, coffee, spice, flint, steel, etc. etc.

Personally I believe that what is meant is that there are certain flavor notes that "remind" one of these flavors, not actually tasting them.

For example. A good cigar with a sungrown wrapper always gives me a suggestion of cinnamon. You don't actually taste cinnamon but there are certain characteristics that remind you of it. The smoke has a certain spicy heat or bite with a little sweetness.

Many CAO Gold line cigars, in particular the torpedo, have nutty characteristics. I don't actually taste nuts but the flavor is suggestive of them in the way it strikes your palette.

Some cigars like many Perdomos have a creamy feel to the smoke. It begins to suggest coffee flavors. I suppose that many of the taste perceptions may be a little psychological in that something begins to remind you of this flavor and your brain carries on with the rest.

As the others said, don't worry about it. What is most important is that you smoke what you enjoy for whatever flavor perceptions and preferences that you have.
