Hello

[Specialized_j]

Welcome!

[Tomos]

That's the spirit, chico. Focus on what you enjoy and let those more gifted do the work for us.

Besides, while there are some folks who have a uniques talent/palate for identifying the subtle shades of a puro, most don't and, in my opinion, just fake it...like me, for example.


Now don't get me wrong. There are times when I will sit back with a fine puro, a flavor wheel, and attempt to pick out the various flavors and changes as the puro progresses. Mostly, however, I prefer to just grab a stick and enjoy it without giving it too much thought. Besides....it's hard work!



That's what I do, anyways.

Haha! It does seem like hard work at the moment, but still interesting none the less.All about the enjoyment and relaxation!

Welcome! You've came to the right place for advice, the folks here have a lot of knowledge and are happy to share.
Samplers are the way to go for finding out what works and keep a little note book so you can revisit those and create a hit list. And avoid the mistakes of course.

Thank you Donny!

I've ordered a note book to jot down, my recent tries have been a davidoff winston churchill petite panatella (spitfire) and C.Gars :Dutch Blend Senoritas. Both were very pleasant.

Hello from a fellow newbie!

i also have not been able to get my palate to detect different flavours properly yet but as you say it's a nice relaxing thing to do in smoking a cigar

Sure is! Hopefully it will come with time!

[thedame007]

Oh that's pretty cool then! Haha I know! How many are you having per week?

Happy days!

I tend to have 3-5 a week - however, if the weather is shining down on me it's more like a one a day job - I have learnt to never to waste a sunny day

Welcome! I'm not so much of a newbie, but haven't been around for a while. Really must make more of an effort.

[grumpybaldy]

A big welcome!

Hello! And welcome.

Welcome to the forum, Tomos. Have a look at the flavour wheel that [MENTION=213]TJCoro[/MENTION] AKA Bag Boy AKA el Gaucho Loco (ok, I made up that last one) mentions. It's a very useful reference point. Every once in a while certain flavours really leap out for me, or I can really notice a change in a cigar. More often than not,though, I just enjoy what I'm smoking and relax. Worrying to much about developing a too sophisticated palate could take that enjoyment away

By Jove, I think e's got it.

Well said, compadre. Words to live by.
