Somebody else totally said this, so feel free to take credit for your words, but the best thing to do is read the reviews of established afficianados, see what they say a cigar tastes like, go out and buy something with that flavor and also buy the cigar (IE if they say it has nutty flavor, buy nuts; if they say it tastes like pepper, taste pepper.) Taste the cigar and the food and see where the similarities lay. However; don't be afraid to say you taste a flavor if you think you taste it; it's important to give a thorough, honest opinion.

I've been smoking premium cigars for 30 yrs and I can't define anything beyond "I like it" or "I don't like it".   It is frustrating because I read with envy the reviews by people that can distinguish various "tastes" and I simply can't do it.  Probably for the same reason I love spicy foods and Asian/Thai  spices.  Dull (abused?) taste buds.

I've run into several people who have attitudes like that, on different subjects. They talk a big talk and are about as rude as they can be with their 'knowledge'. In the end, they always end up with egg on their face. I'll admit, it is a little satisfying to see it when it happens.

My dad left me with some good advice. He said, "son if you have to tell someone you are smart, tough, rich or powerful, then you aren't."

Couldn't agree with that more. You know, that guy could've really learned a lot from seasoned vets if he had just shut up and listened. Instead he made a fool of himself. Some people just don't know how to heed that advice.

That sound like a Kuzi-ism to me.. But a great way to develop the taste comparison you are looking for.
