    This is an awesome resource. I had seen it somewhere else in the past, but forgot about it. Thanks for reviving it here, I'll definitely utilize these suggestions.

    Yeah, we have heard some interesting taste comparison around here. Make me wonder what you guys have been chewing on when you don't have a cigar in your mouth..

    How did I know you would bring up the rubber/leather imporium. I think I will have to take your word on that one Urbi.

    Speaking of leather.... When you guys taste "leather" on a cigar, do you actually get the taste of leather like walking onto a boot store, or is it more of a taste that you could only describe as "leather(y)" but not exactly leather? Did that make sense? I wonder about this because I've never tasted leather specifically, but I have tasted a flavor that I would call leathery multiple times.

    Different noses and tastes, and ways of expression. That would probably qualify for what people call leather.

    I've only tasted it once -- from a La Aurora Preferido, IIRC. I keep waiting for something like the smell when you put your baseball glove over your face, but haven't found it yet.

    thats a great question. usually its on the side of leather, not out and out leather. i also have a tendency to simplify my tastings so that a very new cigar smoker can see what im getting at.

    Kuzi, this was a WONDERFUL help. I had a 5 Vegas "A" last night that was an ENTIRELY different experience while trying this. I fell in love with it!!
  • kuzi16kuzi16 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 14,471
    it is one of my favorite cigars.
  • tankbonniestankbonnies Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 191
    I have to be honest...before joining this forum I've always had a cigar just to sit and relax for an hour or so...didn't give the taste of the cigar much thought.other then liking a milld cigar over a maduro. AFTER coming to this site and reading various threads..I'm trying to taste the cigar more and figure out the flavors in it..etc...How long does it take to determine what a cigar tastes like? I had a Carlos Torano Signature last night and I took my time smoking it. Trying to get the taste..etc, but in all honesty..it tastes like every othe maduro I had. Any help would be great.

    Thanks Kuz....Last week I received the sample pack of nubs and just ordered the sample pack of ccom. cigars....I do enjoy RP, monte cristo, r&j ...I'll have to try the 5 vegas 5..and the others you suggested....As for the log..I actually save the labels of the cigars I like..but will start writing this down. Thanks for the advice.

    From reading the blurbs about enjoying the A series 5 Vegas I would have to recommend the Rocky Patel Sun Growns!!   They are heaven in a roll. They develop the full time you smoke...

    What a joy!!! 4 me with a nice port!! Or Brandy Manhattan.

    Dave

    thats actually one of the RPs that i do like. Im usually not a huge fan. (im a gurkha kinda guy) the sungrown, however, is outstanding.
