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

new to the forum....super helpful info as I was browsing. I am getting back in to smoking cigars (been smoking a pipe for a while) and what started it was a Monte Cristo Epic. The creamy; the texture; the draw...loved it. I also have enjoyed RP 1990 and 1992. I'm looking for some other...

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...

For my own sanity, I allow myself one grammar post a month. For everyone else's sanity, I limit myself to one grammar post a month. ;) pal·ate    [pal-it] noun 1.Anatomy. the roof of the mouth, consisting of an anterior bony portion (hard palate) and a posterior muscular portion (soft...

What is it about Cubans that seem to make them easier on the palate...they seem to be less spicy, and I LOVE it! I have smoked a few now, a LCG Tanios, a CoRo, a Trinidad Robusto, a Vegas Robiana and a couple of others and they just seem more pleasant on the palate. Is this a characteristic...

Lately it seems like I haven't been able to pick up on any flavors and my cigars just taste like well smoke. I keep my cigars at around 63-64 but lately have bumped them up to 67-68% (hygrometers all checked). They feel fine and the burn and everything has been superb but I just can't seem to...

I'm still working on developing my palate. I'm not too good at picking out the specific flavors on most cigars that I smoke... I just know whether they taste good or not and whether or not I like them. When I smoke a new cigar, I usually go and read some reviews on them before I buy them. I...

So in the thread I posted about how mouthwash wrecked my palate and negatively affected my cigar smoking experience, a fellow BOTL posted that vinegar potato chips can do the same. This made me think that it would be nice to have a "heads up" based on our combined experiences in what can be an...

Okay so... I'm a confirmed oenophile and live in the middle of a large wine producing region - a good thing. I'm used to changes in palate but... Not too long ago, I loved my Avo's and Romeo y Julieta's. Still do, but I've moved to maddies and Cameroons pretty much exclusively. Wow - that...

It is funny how your tastes evolve and how they can evolve so quickly. Just 2ish months ago I was brand new to Puff. I had limited knowledge of brands like Illusione, Tatuaje, Padron, Fuente and the like. My "go to sticks" were Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve, Gurkha Masters Select Rubosto...

I will be making the 7 hour drive on April 30th to Split Rock PA for CI's annual Cigar Fest and plan on smoking my brains out that day...sampling several different things and really enjoying myself. Now, I would like to be sure to enjoy each cigar that I choose to smoke that afternoon to its...

Hey everyone, I started out smoking cigars seriously about 6 or 7 months ago. I've been smoking the inexpensive sticks..Purios Indios, PI Siembre de Oro, Tierra del Sol, Pirate's Gold, etc, and at first I just wanted to smoke cigars -- even if it wasn't so great. As time has progressed, I've...

Have you ever had a cigar that changed your palate? I can pretty much nail it down to one of two cigars that I had this past week that have me wanting "more" if that makes sense. I distinctly remember smoking them and thinking that this was really something new and exciting, they just hit me...

Greetings, let me first apologize for my lack of posting and my lack of response to PMs. For the last 2 months, I was detained by JSO on some BS that I did and didn't do. One was quit serious (that I didn't do) that kept me from bonding out. It had a 50 thousand dollar bond. It took me 2 months...

Back in August I bought a cheap cigarillo to go with a party costume, lit it up for a few photos and, to my surprise, enjoyed it immensely. I've never cared for cigarettes, so this rather surprised me. Since then I've tried a range of low-end cigars and cigarillos to train myself up. I'm...

Like a lot of folks, I have a great deal of trouble distinguishing flavors in a cigar. I have definite likes and dislikes, but aside from some real basics, I couldn't describe what the flavor is that I do like. I can recognize some peppery aspects. I have smoke a RP stick, the Corojo...

Well last night I ruined the one decent cigar I had in my humidor. Prior to smoking a RP Edge Light, I had some grilled pineapple for dessert. The acid from the pineapple fried my taste buds, and with a "light" cigar, I can tell you I didn't taste a thing. I will never do that again! :banghead:

My favorite U.S. market cigars are: Ashton Classic Monte White Padron (basic line) Oliva V 5 Vegas Classic Illusione CG4 Tat Brown Band 601 Green Partagas Black Avo Maduro 5 Vegas A Punch Maduros By looking at my list, can you tell which CC's I would like the best?

I have only been smoking cigars for two months now and probably only 1- 2 a week. My question is how long after you started smoking did you start to develop a palate that was able to truly notice the subtle hints of different flavors. I have yet to experience, chocolate, cocoa, citrus, floral or...

Ok ive been smoking pipes for the last 4 months...no cigars. Why? dunno...just on a kick i guess. So tonight seemed like a great night to get out a Romeo Y Julieta Habano Reserve. I dont know what happened to me but the thing didnt even smell good. Actually none of em in my humi did. No humidor...
