Same taste of different cigars in my humidor

jfaciane

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've posted anything here and need a little advice. I have a 300ct humi with various types of cigars in it, however, I don't have any infused or flavored cigars in it. I have those in a separate humi. In my 300ct. all the cigars seem to taste the same. The only difference I'll get is spice or peppery. Do the regular cigars tend to mend together after a while and taste alike? Should I separate them some how? If so, what do you recommend? Any advice is welcome. Thanks for your time BOTLS!

Man, I can't pick out the 100 flavors that some people can. They all taste like smoke to me, I either like them or not. Not much help, I know! I guess my point is, you could give me an Opus, God of Fire and a Padron...and I would describe them the same way. Hints of wood and leather.

Do you keep your cigars in cello or naked?

In the cello. All of them except for like two.

I can't really pick out all the flavors either man. I'm trying tho, with every puff of smoke lol! Thanks for responding Rain.

I drink mainly ice water and force myself to slow down. But, it's tough if the weather sucks and you can't feel your fingers. I've noticed they get a bit spongy with a change to a different climate once out of the humi.

I have that issue with stronger cigars. I just have a harder time distinguishing flavors. But with milder sticks, I'm fine. I don't always pick up the flavor nuances that some say are there (raisins are one I can't taste or smell in a cigar for the life of me even though people say it's there in some) but I get some subtlety. As to cigars tasting similar overall, though, that only happens when I go for a stretch smoking the same types of cigars every time I smoke. they all start tasting the same to me. But if I change it up and throw in a mild or infused stick, I find it sort of "resets" my palate and I can find greater variety of flavors in my favorite cigars. Try throwing something totally different into the line-up from time to time. That might help too.

Red wine in a dry climate will dehydrate your tongue. Water, cold tea, even coffee would be better.

Dang, didn't know that about red wine. I'll try water next time so I don't flavor my pallet or tongue with anything other than cigar smoke.
