Cigars anyone?

A. Fuente's Flor Fina 8-5-8 with a madura wrapper. After that just about any quality cigar works for me.

It's like wine tasting. It takes a deliberate action to stop, and "listen" to the flavor. I know even saying something like "listening to the flavor" sound flaky, but it makes the point.

Its like we listen to some poeple, in one ear out the other. It's the same with smokes and alcohol. Just stop and taste it. At first it tastes like something, and with time you will begin to detect subtle hints of specific flavors you recognize. Eventually you will give it a name that reminds you of something familiar to you. "It taste's a little like...(blackberry, pepper, a specific type of pepper, wood smoke, nuts, etc." Then it becomes even more distinct. The flavor isn't necessarly from that source, but similar to it. Also, taste/look/listen for different flavors from different parts of your tongue that match up with the basic taste buds types on different parts of your tongue, sweet, bitter, salty, etc.

With time it develops. Taste is different for everyone. It's genetic, what connects for you will be different for someone else. You may taste what another tastes, you may not.

Most of the time, I don't dwell on it unless it is noteable. Then I share it with whoever I am smoking with. Mostly, I smoke 'em if I have em.

My favorite is the Padron Serie 1926. It was a special occasion and I spent a few $$$ but it was good to have once. My favorite cigar I like to smoke when I have a few extra dollars is the La Fleur Dominicana Double Ligero. My favorite everyday cigar is the Rocky Patel Edge Maduro.
