First and foremost...This is in no way a solicitation for sending me anything. Please do not, I am going to be taking a punishment soon so there is no need.

Because I am a bit of a geek the scientific side of my brain has been thinking about this and I would like to get some feedback. I hear about / read about different flavors while smoking cigars and I know it takes time to develop a good palette to pick them out. But, lets say that one was looking to hack this a bit and get better at picking out flavors in order to accurately discuss them with others how would one go about it?

My thought is this...Some of the flavors that I hear about most are spicy / peppery, nutty, chocolate, espresso, leathery, and earthy. So given those flavors (I am sure I am missing some), I am looking for people to post the names of cigars that would fit heavily into one flavor profile. I am thinking of trying them with that flavor in mind to help me develop my palette better. Let's say I was looking for sticks in the sub $12 range what would you recommend for each of the flavors listed?

Categories:

Spicy / Peppery-

Nutty -

Chocolate -

Espresso -

Leathery -

Earthy -

Respond for one flavor or all...🍺

No, I just lit a bowl of it on fire and started huffing. [sarcasm]

This is already going the direction I figured it would, lol

the water compound from the hookah sets off the peanut molecules which turns into fumes to huff

Try to jump in the non-elistist PIB and when you're up, ask for a blind 5er. CROS sent me a blind 5er of 6 sticks from cheap to pricey.... I'm about to light up #5. I've been taking significant notes on each one, trying to pick out flavors and characteristics. It's been pretty interesting so far. Not sure if I want to know the results when it's all done... let's hope that I really enjoy $2 sticks :)

I would be interested in knowing the answer to your original question. One flavor I got out of one of these samplers that I had not seen before was sour.... almost like sour grass or hay. That was unusual.
