I find that my palette (the flavors I tend to enjoy) must be similar to Don Pepin Garcia's and Litto Gomez's. I like pretty much every cigar they release. Cigars by A.J. Fernandez I think are very high quality but I just don't enjoy them as much as most cigars by DPG or LG. The same goes for...

So last night, I tried my first cigar ever but did not taste much flavor. I smoked a RP Vintage 1999 in a toro. From reading all the reviews, I was expecting a buttery flavor to come through. I tasted nothing specific...not even sure how to describe it. I tasted what I would consider smoke...

Did anyone ever experience their sense of taste in food, drinks and whatnot increase as their palette grew? I have to say since cigar smoking became a more consistent thing my sense of taste has gone up a lot, I can now taste really subtle flavors in food that a few years back I couldn't. Anyone...

So here I am, well over a year into my cigar smoking experience, and 500+ cigars later. Herf'N'Turf once told me to smoke a thousand cigars and THEN talk about my palette and experience and such. Well I'm not quite there, but I also don't see my palette getting any better; perhaps I'm wrong...

I've asked around about this but not many people have experienced this. I have smoked on and off for years until 6 months ago. I purchased a humidor and some nice sticks (cubao, san cristobal, diamond crown Maximus) and have been smoking 2-3 a day and really enjoying it. However, on 2 or 3...

Currently I simply use pickled ginger you can buy at the supermarket that is sliced thin. It's intention is to cleanse the palette in Japanese cuisine and does a good job of it, I can smoke a cigar about 10 minutes after eating a slice and get the full profile out of it. Does anyone else have...

Hey peeps I've been smoking cigars for a few years and been on and off the site since 2006. Every time I come back I see the same questions: How to develop palette, how to do reviews, learning to taste, what boxes to buy etc. I learnt alot through these forums and from these people, so feel I...

Two weekends ago I smoked an English blend and then a couple hours later I smoked a free sample of black Cavendish. I thought the Cavendish was all aroma and no flavor and really didn't get anything out of it. Last weekend I did the opposite. I smoked the black Cavendish first, and while it was...

A buddy of mine told me to get some milk chocolate and let it melt in my mouth after a smoke to cleanse my palette. Does anybody else do this? Any particular reason? Any other palette cleansers out there?

Since I've only been smoking seriously for the past year, I just started realizing this. One of the first cigars I loved was the RP connecticut. Smooth wrapper, mild yet good flavored smoke, even burn, etc. Couldn't get enough of them but then..................I hit the slope hard. I started...

So here is something I am curious about. Many times at night if I have a couple of hours free time I will smoke one cigar - finish it - and then want to smoke a 2nd. But occasionally depending on the two smokes - the flavors dont mix very well. What I am curious about is what techniques (if...

Hey bros and sisters. I have just thrown away the last two flavors sticks out of my humi. I am a noob and my taste buds have gone from smoking Cojimar mango cigars to enjoying Rocky Patel's vast assortments. Currently I am in love with the vintage lines. I recently tossed away the last flavored...

Hi fellas. It's been a while but I've been busy (to say the least) with the birth of my first son! I wrote this article and thought you might find it of interest. Happy smoking! ~Mark Refining Your Palette The key reason for refining your palette is to aide in picking up the subtleties in...

Inspired by EvanS and his thread "Getting" VA's has really helped my palatte I tired to give Virginas another whirl. I do like Luxury Bull's Eye flake and Stonehaven but I am trying to find a Virgina that I really love. Bull's eye flake is still the tops for me in this category. In the spirit...
