cigar description from the makers company

When looking at a cigar and reading its flavor profile, who actually describes the cigars qualitys and profile? Is it the man himself which the cigar is known for, such as rocky patel, etc., is it a person dedicated to just this 1 job, or other??? I was just wondering bc it seems like more times than not a cigar description isnt as close as to what it tastes like in real life. Or even from so called aficianados, and we know about cigar aficianado so we wont go there. Are we that novice as to not pick out all these flavors or better yet get a totally different taste as to what the maker designed. Or are they hoping a cigar tastes a certain way and never really try it out to give an accurate description?????

I'm guessing it's the head marketing executive who does this; though if you go to the website, you can see videos of rocky talking about each of his cigars.

I bet theres more than one person responsible for the description. Each person tastes differently so to let one person describe what he thinks the cigar is all about seems very dangerous from a marketing stand point as the company I'm sure wants everyone to find a little something they describe in there. So I'm going with a tasting dept that comes to a concensus then a description. I just can't imagine its only one guy. Also Alex probably has the correct answer to this question if he happens to read this thread ...

I agree we all have different tastes. Just kind of wondering who makes or group makes the decisions. I usually when smoking a new cigar take a draw with my eyes closed and slowly let the smoke out and see what comes to mind when i taste the smoke. I do this also when i have a very good cigar and want to heighten the experience more than usual. For some reason i think the sense of sight throws me off when trying to decipher a certain taste. Or im just coo coo for cocoa puffs.

If you asked someone in the 1990's about what cigars are full bodied, they would tell you Partagas. By todays standards, Partagas is medium bodied. The cigar and the blend have not changed, but what people consider strong has.

That's because OpusX came out and kicked everyone's asses. :-) I still have yet to really enjoy that cigar. Way to strong for me.
