I'm going through a similar phase, Puffy. Since I retired at the beginning of the year, I had more time to smoke, and soon was up to 3 per day, sometimes four. A coupla months ago, it seemed like all cigars started to taste the same and kinda flat, so I cut back. Now it's usually one a day, occasionally two. I'll skip a day here and there if I've got stuff to do with the grandson.
^^^Gonna have to try the baking soda rinse to clean my palate. How much powder/water, Palama?
