How do you describe quality in the real world?

We're all familiar with the jargon used in catalogues, reviews, forums, etc. But face it, none of us talk this way. Well maybe some of you actually do, I don't know. But when one of my cigar smoking buds asks me "Is that thing worth $10?" I don't say "Yes, it's a medium to full bodied blend and has a smooth draw with hints of cedar and cocoa, combining to an earthy finish". Come on! I say "It's really smooth, reminds me of those Cubans we had last summer out by the lake." What real word descriptions do you use to convey quality to friends and family? Or do you even bother? Perhaps it's better to stop talking about it and just smoke the thing!

Typically I give them one of what Im smokiing and say what do you think. If they are a good smoking buddy.

Usually, I just give them the strength of the cigar, what flavors I picked up (and remind them that not everyone's palate is the same), and ask them if they wanna try it out for themselves.

I got a LFD Salomon today. The guy in the shop said it was a "Religious Experience". His wife also attested to that. So I figured, I'd give it a go. I'll find out tonight if it lives upto the hype.

Awesome!

I usually try and pick one main characteristic, like spicy, rich, smooth etc. etc.
