Finding Similiar Notes

[chefchris]

Ok, I'm gonna try and make this easy to understand. Last nite, I smoked another one of the 5 Vegas that I've had for a couple of months and they have this 'toasty' flavor that I love. I have noticed these same notes in AF Short Story, DK Brown, Fonseca, Tatuaje, and Partagas Shorts. What I want to know is, what do I need to look for in the 5 Vegas that will produce close to the same results? What is producing this 'toasty' flavor that I crave? I notice that from my experience I get it mostly from medium bodied smokes.



5 Vegas
Wrapper: Sumatra
Filler: D.R., Nic, Sum.
Binder: Nicaragua


AF Short Story
Wrapper: Cameroon
Filler: Dom. Rep.
Binder: Dom. Rep.


The only similarity is the DR Filler. I know a good percentage of the flavor comes from the wrapper and the binder does not contribute at all.

I hope this makes sense.
