Cigar taste

..."small peice of ginger root"...Wow, noe thats gonna be spicy! My best discription of "woody" taste would be is the way a lumber yard smells, if you could only taste the smell of the lumber yard.

I learned a lot reading this thread and it has really made me think. I don't quite know how to get through the issue of smoking so many cigars a day.

What can I do to help me better taste what I am smoking.

I smoke at least 3 day sometimes 4, usually 3 low budget like my H Upmann anniversary’s that cost me 120 for 40 cigars.
The last one of the day is usually a habano that I smoke sitting on the porch in the sunset.
I think by that time my taste buds are shot.

However I can always taste the pepper and the coffee flavors in a La Gloria Cubana #5 M no matter how many cigars I have smoked in a day.

Like earth, cedar, pepper, and so on. Well I don't taste any of that. I taste tobacco.

Me neither Diesel. Many of the so-called "experts" who write reviews for the fancy cigar magazines like to use shrubbery to describe the taste of cigars they are writing their reviews on.

Maybe it's just me but I don't taste "leather" "Cedar" or 90% of the adjectives these guys use. I can distinguish a "peppery" flavor with some Havanas, most notably San Cristobals and I sense a slight hint of "salt" in Cuban Punch cigar wrappers but other than that, I agree with you, cigars taste like freakin' TOBACCO to me :laugh:
