i think a grass flavor can have its place if its done right. all too often it isnt done right.

I would take your comment one step further, very seldom is a grass flavor done right,

(in cigars). Except maybe at the very start, and very short before a BIG flavor explosion.

Bluberries in Bourbon!
Interesting, Ive never been down that road

Work called! They said if you dont come in on Friday, dont bother to come in on Monday! - Whoo hoo four day weekend!

I smoked something with a "grassy" flavor in college once. It was weird.

Likewise. It's wacky. Wacky, I say. Frankly, I think maddy is making it up.

its amazing what you may be able to find in a cigar or in any other thing that has a fermentation proscess to it.

one thing that i do in my everyday life to help develop my cigar life is to pay an abnormal amount of time to taste. If i eat something i really try to think of the flavor as i eat it. I dont just casually taste something anymore. I actively taste things. this simple daily thing helps more than i ever thought it would.

It was actually one a buddy brought me he was smoking the same one and it took us a few minutes to pin down the flavor and neither of us could believe it was bluberries. BTW I was SMOKING a makers mark 10th not drinking.

Oh oh oh. I thought you were drinking. I can totally believe blueberry flavors in a cigar.

hmm well like i mentioned earlier i found a blueberry flavor in a cigar and it wasnt like a acid or one of those flavored cigars. how is this possible? how do these nutty, vanilla, chocolate, leather, and everything in between flavors get into the tobacco smoke? is some of this just like in the smokers head?

its not that the flavors are put there. Its that they are hinted at. or that its on that side of, or that it reminds you of that.

BigDan.:

did you read the original post in this thread?

go out and try it. you will then understand. this requires participation.

i cant explain "tastes" without using another taste. its like referencing a color without making mention of another color:

what does blue look like?

wel... it looks blue.
is that in your mind? if so then so are tastes.

go back read the first post again. try the things i was talking about. If you dont understand by then, you may have a longer road in front of you when it comes to developing your palate.
