I agree that this flavor stuff can be absurd sometimes. I mean earth? What dies earth taste like? Sounds like dirt to me. And let's not forget the reviewers fondness for leather. Why just last night I was snacking on An old shoe. It Tasted just like my oliva serie v melanio.

Just in case I am not sensing your sarcasm....Our sense of taste relies a lot on our sense of smell. So all these flavors of things you would never eat aren't actually what they taste like but rather what they smell like. So the leather you taste is probably not what leather actually tastes like but rather what it smells like. Basically you are tasting a smell.

I have tasted everything in my list except for hospita smell and shït after a long night of heavy pepto and about 10 pints of guiness.

Thank you for this thoughtful reply. I would agree with you except for the fact that reviewers always comment on aromas. I would have no problem with a review that said something like " a lovely fragrance of English saddle leather" or some other description of smell. But I repeatedly see descriptions of taste that will specify leather It's absurd
Again. Thanks for the serious response. I get a little bored with the amount of silly replies often found in the cigar discussion forum
