Its just you

I know this sounds a bit harsh. But lay off for a few or five days and it might come back.

I`ve done the same thing. Herf`o mania for weeks straight, 2 or 3 cigars a day, then all your taste buds go wacky. Had to wait almost 2 weeks then they came back, whew`.

It's probably the oooold pelvic congestion again. Try pinching your nostrils together & blowing really hard. If that doesn't work....stock up on some Ben-Gay.

I had the same problem a couple of months ago. I realized that I had started smoking my cigars too fast. They were burning too hot and tasted like ash. I guess with all the different cigars I have here to smoke, I was trying to get through them all!!!

Like a kid in a candy store.

seems to be a common problem. It hit me when I went on a binge but then I was smoking 10-12 a day. The fifth day everything tatse like crap. 3 days off fixed me right up.

^ 10- 12 a day???!!!!

You must have looked like Kramer in the Seinfeld episode--his skin got wrinkled & changed color, teeth were stained, and he was shakin' like a leaf ALL the time. You could have called Mr.Johnnie Cochran!

I need to try this. I currently smoke between 3 and 4 'gars a day. That's from 7am to about 9pm. By the start of the 3rd one i get a mint taste that doesnt go away.

^You're probably tasting the bands.

The adhesive can be minty.

If it all tastes the same...... might as well smoke the cheap stuff.

Seriously, a sinus infection or cold will do that.

Could be allergies too. Now would be the time to smoke your dog rockets.

Allergies can definitely be a factor. Also, remember that your taste buds are in your tongue. Try drying out your tongue before you smoke. The other thing I noticed that will help bring the taste back is if you smoke a smaller ring cigar with a Cameroon or other strong tasting wrapper. The taste on the smaller rings comes more from the wrapper than the tobacco. Once the wrapper taste "activates" your taste buds they should come back. And one more tip--try smoking very slowly and try to use your nose to enjoy the aroma of the smoke. If your allergy has your nose so stuffed up you can't smell the aroma that may be your problem. Smell and taste work together.
