An interesting video with Halfwheel's Charlie Minato going through a cigar tasting. Cutting, lighting, tasting, and all around nice vid.

I've got 3 cigars in the center of my tupperdore (just where I happen to put them) that are bunched together (not smashing, but touching one-another side-by-side). A Eastern Standard Cream Crush Dark Connecticut, an Illusione 88 Maduro, and a Padron 1964. The Illusione 88 is in the center...

I am really enjoying some of the complex flavors that i can experience now that I have quit cigarettes. My favorite has to be the coffee notes. What are some of your favorite cigars with coffee notes or what stick do you reach for when you're craving that coffee flavor? Not including...

As a fairly new aficionado, I have a couple of questions. The question that concerns me is since I am not allowed to smoke in my house, where can I enjoy my cigars during the winter months? Because I want to keep my palate developing . I've read some threads where some were saying to smoke at...

Origin : Dominican Republic Format : Robusto Size : 4 x 40 Wrapper : Cameroon Wrapper Color: Natural Binder: Dominican Republic Filler : Dominican Republic Price : ~$4.5 each Beverage: Espresso Cortado (sweet) This is the first time I try an infused cigar. And trust me when I say this, I dont...

So the whole Tatuaje sweet potato thread got me thinking, "I wonder what other strange flavors people have experienced." So far for me, it was with a CAO Brazilia. For a few draws there in the middle I swear I tasted marshmallow. It came right on the end of the finish, but I couldn't quite...

I have an undeveloped palate. That said, I seem to be able to pick up the aromas from an unlit cigar and from a cold draw - probably just the obvious ones right now. However, once I light a cigar all I seem to detect are what I think are the obvious ones like coffee or chocolate. When I...

The stick looks and feels solid and offered a rich tobacco flavor with some pepper when smelling the foot. I actually sneezed. Right away I was hi... Read the full review here: Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles Cigar Review - Nice flavors and not overpowering

I'm thinking about storing some pipe tobacco in an old 50 ct humidor to avoid buying a bunch of jars. I know not to keep infused cigars with naturals or maduros because the flavors of the infused cigars supposedly marry into the others. But what about pipe tobacco ? I have several 1-2 oz ziplock...

Ok...i need to know some flavor descriptors of the CAO Flavors Girlfriend is asking and i haven't smoked them so I don't know and really not in the mood to go looking..lol Shawn

Alright i have some infused sticks and there is chocolate and mocha and a few more to come and i was curious if mixing them together would be bad even with the cellophane. Any input would be nice cause i dont want to have to buy multiple containers just to enjoy my infused sticks.

Hi Everyone, I'm a newbe to Puff and I have been smoking cigars for about 3 years but I still consider myself a cigar newbe as well. I've asked this question of experienced smokers but no one can seem to give me an adequate answer. Cigar reviews talk about "flavors" that are appreciated when...

Question from a newbie, how do you distinguish between the various flavors in a cigar? I hear people talk of chocolate, and coffee, and dough, and cream. I've had a few cigars since starting this hobby and I can't say I can detect any hints of flavors ... where's the chocolate and coffee? :(...

So just wondering because since it was so nice today i went out back and enjoyed a great cigar.. I smoked the Oliva V torpedo. I had plenty of time to just sit and really enjoy it. Im not sure about you guys and gals but for the first time instead of drawing from the cigar twice like i...

Hey Guys, I had a quick question about flavors mixing. I have a 120 count humidor and want to get many samples to try out. How would you store those? I mean, I heard and read people say not to let them touch each other or something like that. Would you just buy more cedar seperaters? Can you...

I'd like some experienced and well-seasoned BOTL to contribute for the benefit of newer smokers (myself included) who have yet to develope a refined palate. This may be moved to the newb forum, but i wanted the seasoned smokers to see it and contribute and I'm not sure of the traffic in the...

This is my first Illusione and it started out similar to a Don Pepin but became more. I punch cut this and it offered plenty of smoke. When I squ... Read the full review here: Illusione CG:4 Cigar Review - Well balanced with lots of flavors

You see and hear all kinds of descriptive words in cigar reviews: grass, pepper, wet hay, barnyard. Here are two that I haven't heard from anybody else, but which I myself have definitely experienced: "oil refinery" and "poopy diaper". That's right. Those are not typos, and I am not...
