Same taste of different cigars in my humidor

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?

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.

Sometimes the palate just doen't react correctly. It wasn't long ago I read where Rip was questioning his palate. And this guy has over 4,000 cigars.
As to tasting specific flavors, that takes quite a while. I'm no pro. Woody, musk, coffee, chocolate, etc. Beyond that, its tough. Someone described the Opus X as having a raison-like fruitiness. Then that hit me. Next one I tried, I almost tasted it. LOL. It takes time.

well...
what kind of cigars do you have in there? brands? countries? blenders? maybe you just like one blending style and they all taste the same because thats what you like ans thats what you buy.

maybe you have a humidity issue. if they are all dry they will all pick up the "dry tobacco" taste.

maybe it has to do with what you eat before you smoke or what you drink while you smoke.

maybe you smoke to fast picking up the "scorched tobacco" flavor.
could be anything.
i need more info to diagnose

You know, I've had a couple friends who rather abruptly lost their sense of smell. Totally. Couple months ... poof, gone. How's your food tasting? How's the old lady smell?

There's a thought: Have TOWMBO sniff your different cigars and see if she can tell a marked diff. If she can and you can't, then maybe your sniffer is going south on you.

No medical cure for dead sniffers, AFAIK..

I have different wrappers and brands. Perdomo, Gurhka, CAO, Dominica Republic...etc. Some medium, mild, full. It's a variety. My humidity is about 65-67%. I do kinda smoke them fast tho. That could be my problem. I'll try and slow down next time. As for drinking, it's usually a glass of red wine. I don't usually eat before smoking, usually I'll smoke while grilling dinner or something. Thanks Kuzi for your advice.

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.

like you said, try slowing down. if that doesnt work drink water.

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.
