Flavour Blind

[thedame007]

Evening chaps,

I was just wondering what your weekly cigar consumption looks like? Over the past year I have varied from 1 a week, to 1 a day. However, i have found that after smoking a cigar 4-5 days on a trot I become flavour blind, and the cigars lose their richness, and taste. If i rest for a day or two, and then light one up, then it's like hitting reset on my senses, and i am welcomed back into the arms of habanos.

Have any of you guys recognised cigar fatigue? If so do you also have 'rest' between smokes? I see some of you gents can fire up two cigars in a day...!

Though it pains me to do so, I now tend to have 2 'rest' periods in the week (not consecutive) to ensure that my pallet is refreshed, and i am not wasting the luxury of a great stick.

I also guess it's good for the bank balance...

Patience is a virtue. Apparently. Tsk...

I actually find the opposite is true for me. The less I smoke, the less I seem to taste; if I break for a few weeks everything seems to taste quite generic for the first couple of days. After that point, I start to detect more flavours. I've never smoked more than one a day so would be interested to see what impact that had, if any.

I think that whilst i might get a bit jaded if i have several over the course of a couple of days, there are other things that make a bigger difference.

The weather is probably the biggest factor and why i try not to smoke my best stuff when it's below 10 degrees or so. Then if im feeling a bit sniffly with the hay fever or a cold . Or if ive had more than a few drinks etc etc.

Theres so many things that can affect flavour and for me at least, having 2 in a row is not at the top of the list, although it might have a bit of an impact.

Of course flavour is very subjective so its going to be different for everyone.
