How are your cigars stored?

I would suggest using a humidification system based on distilled water only, such as Oasis or beads. I have never notice it, but some say the 50/50 solutions can impart an undesireable odor.

do you let them "rest" in your humidor after purchasing them from your B&M? I usually like to let them adjust to my RH% for at least a week.

all that aside...they all taste like tobacco to me. sometimes I can detect coffee, cocoa, spices, etc. but I really enjoy a good tobacco flavor.

I suppose you just have very accute senses. so if it's "repulsive", maybe cigars aren't for you.
