Cedar, maybe that's it. I'm no good at explaining flavors, either. I often id chocolate, coffee, bread, nuts, etc., but the Cask Strength has been a challenge to me, in terms of description. I like them, but am left without words on description. Funny thing is, every time I've smoked one, I think "Barbecue", spicey sweet and smoky. Now that I recall, cedar sounds right. May have to buy some soon, as I haven't had one in awhile.

ITs not that you get more out of the cigar, but to me that you better understand it with practice. I think this helps a smoker identify what they like, which means they will buy effectively; thus, their overall enjoyment increases. For example, once I figured out that I really like the musk note and associated this with Kelner blends. So now I buy more Avo classic and Davidoff seconds. I also realized I do not like Cameroon, so I never buy them, which saves me money to spend on what I like. It's funny because my collection has become smaller and more focused and I have a lot less sticks that I kind of enjoy, and alot more that I love.

I think you've hit it! Barbecue is how I'd describe Cask Strength and any kind of cigar that I really like. It's a sweet and humid taste, with good doses of spices, not really subtle. The only other cigars I've smoked that I feel fit this category are La Aroma de Cuba, Black Pearl, the first JoyaDeNicaragua Antono I smoked (but not the second one), and, to a lesser degree, San Lotano Oval. I think for me the kind of cigars I don't like are those that are far more 'charcoaly' in flavor; instead of barbecue, they remind of me stuff-burning-in-the-oven smoke, bitter, earthy, weak, like ashes. Not pleasant. For me, Cohiba Red Dot and Oliva O most epitomize this category. But what the heck do I know? I'm just a noob.

You've piqued my interest in the cask strength through conversation before. Between your statements and some recomendations from friends about the Gold, I'm convinced My next buy needs to be a 5 Vegas sampler.

Beats me I just know I like em. Gave up long ago trying to discern different flavors. Some are easy. Like coffee and cocoa but that's pretty much it for me.
