Palate

big chunks

i was just wondering how long did it take for you guys to start picking up subtle notes, ive been smoking regularly for about 10 months now and i know what i like but i cant seem to define some notes that i read about

lol, love that mushroom reference. i have been noticing ive been trying to really taste things, especially in micro brew beer, and i recently started drinking scotch. i think im gonna start keeping some notes when i smoke cigars, especially ones that i read about and try to compare, that developing your palate post is a real eye opener, good stuff

I like reading the reviews and then seeing if I can pick out that notes people talk about. I think it helps alot if you have developed a palate for other things (Scotch , craft beers, ect ). Never would have thought as a kid that I would grow up to appreciate the things that I enjoy now.

I just discovered kuzi's palate thread two days ago. Tried his techniques out on an RP Connie last night. Never knew how to exhale out my nose. I must say I was floored. The flavors just exploded. Can't wait to try out all my sticks now (as if I needed another reason)! Thanks kuzi!
