is it inexperience of not smoking cigars for years. Is it messed up taste buds. Or am I just not doing it right. I read reviews of what people taste in a cigar but I pickup none of that. Any help??
On the occasion when I'm asked to pen a review, I always refer to a 'flavor wheel' to help me put words to the tastes. Very common for wine and food folks, this one is pretty good. Gets you thinking about what you are tasting:

You can also refer to a comment I made that I put in my sig line.....
Some can, some can't and I'm sure some pretend to have the ability to taste every nuance of a cigar. It's not something that I'd stress over, enjoy the cigar for what it is. I get tired of reading reviews of people who say they can taste hay or the sweat from the virgins thighs. I taste tobacco and I'm ok with that.
LMAO, it's got peanuts, if not the 'French Burnt' variety......Love that wheel, thanks for posting it up. One shortcoming though, no French Burnt Peanuts on the wheel, a very common flavor in both wine and cigars....

I'm not getting involved.I agree with Bfreebern and I'm in the same boat as Scap. For that reason I don't try any of the passes that require a review.
P.S. Don't get ole' Doc started on this.
Just saw this, and thought it would fit here pretty well.

Um I know where you saw that last, was it the first time you saw that?
Which one was that?I'm in the "I like it" or "I don't like it" camp, for the most part. Most cigars taste like tobacco and smoke to me (imagine that), with some being much more pleasant than others. Every now and then I'll get a few distinct notes and flavors come through on a draw, but I've only ever had one cigar that blew me away and made me feel I was finally experiencing all these things you read about in the reviews.
