    Does it take time to distinguish one taste from another? I only get a tobacco taste. That's it nothing more. I have been smoking one or two a month for a few months now.

    Absolutely. It's something you learn over time.

    im a believer in this. I've been smoking for two years now and all last year I got the same thing you did. It wasn't until I started learning how to retrohaler that I really found flavora I didn't notice before. For me I feel that a 1 to 2 puffs a minute is ideal. Of course, every cigar is different

    For me I get more medleys then anything...being a chef I try to find each flavor but really it's the all over "meal" I find intriguing. Take for instance the opus x... I find a lot of raisins and dried fruit but still couldn't tell you what fruit besides the raisins

    My ability to distinguish exact flavors has not improved much over time. I don't have the ability to execute precise detection of the differences in flavors. I can taste differences. But, I can't necessarily separate them and label the differences. I wish I could but, instead I have a very basic plan to find cigars that are most enjoyable to me so I can re-visit them in the future.
