I posted on the pic post re: 'real cuban cigars' already that I loved my Fuente Gran Reserva.

Went on a weekend getaway and brought the whole damned humidor with me...

I smoked a RyJ Cedros De Luxe No. 2 (is that the right name?) on the patio of a club Friday night. YUCK!

Did I say YUCK!? It was gross. Patuie! Had to move on to my bland little Sportsmen's Reserve to get the funk outta my mouth.

Then, Saturday night, I smoked my Fuente that was a gift and fell in love with it! It was so tasty and smoothe...mmmmm!

I seem to have noticed a licorice taste. Have any of you experienced that 'flavor'?

Are these very expensive? What should I expect?

I have tasted licorice smoking an Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro. I consider it a good flavor. IMO the Fuente lines are overpriced. Because of that, I don't smoke many. I am thrifty. You may call me cheap if it pleases you.

Rick, when I posted the riddle, it was just playing around with an old joke, and I didn't think it had an answer, like Lewis Carroll's "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

However, as I was on my patio tonight finishing an Exquisito after dining on steak accompanied by a rather nice Australian Shiraz, I thought of a word to complete the answer. What do you think?:

anise

a partagas series s exquisito? one of my favorites.

i can't put anise in the equation. "she holds it by the herb"

i was thinking "by the lic" or

"by the way she looks up into your eyes" or

"by the gentile vacuum" (it is spelled correctly)

"Patuie?" I have a bland little sportsman too, but it's no good for getting a bad taste out of your mouth. In fact I think it's been accused of being the culprit more than once.

Cliffie, the visual ain't so bad at all ... it's the AUDIO that would cause you to run away screaming in pain ...

Whipple Road in Union City? ... Hell, that's not all that far from me ... I didn't know that.

I'll swing by and have a word with them in person ... that'll get quickly to the bottom of it

Steve while your down there see if you can get them to wrape the red vines in a maduro wraper. They might taste better.

Steve, that is because Red Vines are not supposed to have the "tradional" liquorice taste! Red Vines are addictive as hell, and I wish you had not mentioned the damn things!

If you want a powerful licorice taste, try the Acid Nasty. I thoroughly enjoyed this widely despised little trumpet, and it tastes exactly like Sen-Sen. If you don't know what Sen-Sen is, well, you say it, Rick.

Did I say Red Vines? I think not!

I said licorice...which connotates BLACK licorice in my mind if you really want to know! '

Hell, red licorice is just high fructose corn syrup and dye waiting for a kid on a saturday at the movie theater...it ain't licorice!

no, you did NOT say Red Vines ... *I* said Red Vines ... I said that not only could I not taste licorice in my cigars, but that I couldn't taste it in Red Vines (which are supposedly some sort of licorice product) ... I meant to imply that there might be something wrong with my taster ...

Which reminds me ... there IS something wrong with my toaster ... the single slice side keeps popping up before the toast is toasted, unless you push the little slide gizzy all the way to the right, in which case, it produces what can only be described as ToastOscuro ... what's up with that?

As an obvious newbie toast maker, it is by rule that all newbie toast makers must send their Oscuro toast to me.
