Cigars are cigars and they all taste the same to me.

I don't get where everyone gets such a verities of flavors from, they all taste the same to me.

"all" is such a broad term.

Once you've been smoking for a while your palate will become more apt to picking up the fine nuances of the tobaccos. It does take some time and a whole lot of patience.

I have a hard time distinguishing flavor profiles. If I know what flavors can be found in a specific cigar then I can try to "find" that flavor. I kinda like the hunt for a specific flavor. It helps me notice and define other flavors that are in the cigar. Otherwise I just enjoy the cigar for what it is and not worry about tasting every nuance.

95% of them taste like some kind of woodsy and spice flavor to me. Still enjoyable. Rarely I'll get a fruity or floral note...yum.

Some people are colorblind, others tone deaf, and so they shouldn't judge art or music.

it would be wonderful to sit down with you and smoke a cigar. having someone discuss the concepts of developing your palate while actually taking part in developing your palate is the best way to do it. a conversation is so fluid and questions flow easily in real life. the forum does a good job but find someone that can help. your local tobaccanist can help quite a bit. may be a good place to start.

Slow your smoking down. Slow smoking is the only way to get the flavors to come forward. Savor the smoke.

Here is something that works for me... Now, I have long ago mastered the art of retrohale which helps pick up on many of the flavors, but try this..when you are slowly letting the smoke out of your mouth, stick your tongue out slightly through your closed lips. Practice different approaches to this method and I am nearly certain you will pick up more flavors. Let me know how it works out.

Been trying, all still the same. My taste buds might be duds.

I had to stop thinking about what I thought the "flavors" tasted like and had to rethink them as feelings like a coco taste isn't "hot chocolate" is more of an after taste you get from eating a "Kiss" 5 minutes ago it not sweet on your palette anymore but you know you had coco. if that makes sense. I had to rethink that a lot about the flavors, and I had to watch a lot of review on you tube and try and smoke along with them to try and pick out what they are thinking to help develop my pallet. that's my 2 cents!

I posted before, sometimes it's not what I taste exactly but what my mind associates it with. I don't know what a barnyard tastes like, but there is a flavor I call barnyard. Do you retro? Even if your mouth flavor receptors suck bawlls, which sounds like your problem, have you tried to retro?

kuzi16

do you even retro, bro?
