Kuzi's cigar catalog blending 101 developing your palate

This leads me to two questions. Was I trying to exhale too much smoke? Because all I ever noticed before today was a stinging burn in my sinuses and after a few seconds a "taste" that I could not identify nor enjoyed.............

I had the macanudo 1968 last night and tried to put some smoke through my nose.
It worked and I got some very robust flavors from it.
I tried it a couple times and on the third or fourth I completely fried my sinus and burned stung my sinus and eyes and coughed a little
That being said I am completely stoked that I can now pass the smoke through my nose and that the flavors are there (I didnt care for the cigar as it kicked my A$$)
But I hear you on the stinging sinus sensation.

another formatting question, and Ive seen it posted here before, just too lazy to go find it. How do you 'block' in the quote from a prior thread into your post?

-living the good life-

so i have a few questions regarding this... first i have found that as of about two weeks ago i would able to taste every part of the cigar and every flavor that the cigar had in store for me, however i have found that in the last few cigars i havnt been able to aquire this taste they all taste the same til almost the end, every little while i will be able to taste a little something but its usually nothing. can it be that i have burnt out my palette too quikly? i understand the food thing and the wine but is it possible that smoke can diminish your sense of taste if you smoke too often?

-living the good life-

yes. i try not to smoke more than once every other day at most. it gives me time to rest my palate.

ahh ok ya before i smoked once a week or so but now ive been doing it much more so ill let my palatte rest a little bit. i have found it common to have like a greenish flavor to the cigars does that mean they should sit more its like a earthy leafy flavor. also i thought i had a blueberry flavor in a cigar is that possible?

-living the good life-

green leaf flavor.... sure. I find that a lot in a connecticut shade leaf. If thats your thing it can be quite good. ill even reccomend an inexpensive stick that has that flavor that i found to be quite good: Gespert.

id smoke those again. its kinda mild in body but it tastes good.


blueberry... i havent had that but if you review my catalog you will find several different fruits in there -- rasins, figs, oranges- to name a few off the top of my head.

I know that green leaf flavor, and I even called it green on previous posts. If colors had flavor I know that one. I personally don't like when that flavor shows up in my cigars, and when it does, often that cigar is about to be retired. I compare it to cigars I smoked in the boom of the mid-late 80's that were rushed to the consumers. Very young and often times not very pleasant. Now cigar smokers will not put up with inferior products since there are so many great cigars available. I intend to try them all someday.

i actually did read the fig review im not sure about the other ones i find your reviews very helpful though. i actually didnt like the green taste that much i kept thinking that it was a cigar that was too young. i like buttery and nut like flavors i had a peanut oil like cigar i cant remember which one it was but it also had a great melted butter like flavor i think it was a fonseca
