Hi guys!
There are a few people I can blame for this, but I won't name any names (looking at you Scap and Josh). But lately my palate has taken a complete U-turn and where I used to favor the non cc to the cc, now I'm having trouble enjoying any non-cc other than my stalwart AF Anejo. I smoked a great deal of Altadis when I first started trying cigars. Now I can't even puff on one more than 2 or 3 times without wanting to toss it. And I can see the trend continuing even with the much better non-cc brands as I shift more and more exclusively to CC's.
The weather can be funky business here. Somehow sticks that taste not so great in the 80% RH summer end up being really good in the 20% RH winter and vise versa, so it could be that summers are just better for CC's.
Compared to the rest of you, I'm still wearing diapers in terms of my cigar smoking acumen, so I was just curious if anyone else has had this type of transformation happen? And I'm curious to hear what your own transformations looked like. I think it would be fun to see how some of your palates transformed as well. So tell me -
What are some things you used to smoke that you just can't stand anymore?
