Indeed. Or in this case, different smokes for different folks.

"Beliefs are neat. Cherish them, but don't share them like they're the truth" Bill Hicks

I have been getting off work so late recently I haven't had anything in a while.....sigh...

Although the holiday this weekend looks promising......

I've got a serious crisis going on here.  I'm smoking a Diesel and it tastes extremely bitter.  For the past 3 days nothing has tasted right to me regardless of time of day or strength of cigar. Clearly my palate is betraying me but I have no idea why.  Has this ever happened to anyone else out there?  Any remedies?

I actually have had this happen to me before on a RP Vintage '90 a couple weeks ago. I was very wierded out by it but my next cigar tasted fine. I was recovering from a cold and I thought it was because I was still kinda sick.

Well I haven't had anything for the past few days because I've been working, but I have my one day off tomorrow so that is when the wife and kid and I are doing our turkey day dinner, and I plan on having a smoke afterwards. Not sure what yet, but has to be one of my favorites.

That's really weird, I smoked a deisel sraight out of the mail and it was great even then. With a few weeks of rest it just got better. Are you getting sick maybe? Hope things get better for you.

"I love it when a plan comes together"

MOW Special Forces Badge w/Ranger tab recipient 9/4/10

This afternoon I had my second CAO gold (2002). It was way better than the first having a few weeks of rest. It was a decent mild smoke, good burn, but nothing exciting. Tonight I tried a RP connecticut. I liked it quite a bit, it was very obviously a RP by the flavors. Kind of like a slightly milder version of a royal vintage. It was a torp that burned nice and even, mild spice, kinda sweet, an all round good smoke IMO.

I love smoking those with my morning coffee, pairs very nicely.

"Long ashes my friends"

I had a Alec Bradly Tempus last night, very good cigar. It was better than my first one I had at the beach back in late summer.

Started with a Diesel this afternoon, it's a good smoke but honestly I'm not as thrilled with it as some are...for the price, yeah it's a great value, but for my tastes it's not one I'd be likely to grab very often. Later was a Tatuaje Havana VI corona gorda, good smoke despite the wrapper being in tatters. I finished off the day with a Fuente Añejo Shark...I really don't get the hype behind this line, it was decent but for the money I won't be buying any...like most Fuentes, it just doesn't appeal to my tastes.

Joe, I have had one Shark and was not impressed with it however I really like the torpedo. I don't know what it is but the torpedo tastes much different at least to me.

I have three lined up for tonight but I am not sure how many I will gt to. I figured I would start with a 3 year and one month old Padron 1964 Torpedo. I got this in Miami back in October 2006. It is my last one. Then, I brought an OpusX (toro size) for my second cigar. This one has at least a year on it but I'm guess it is more like 14 - 15 months. I wanna know what the resting time has done to it. And and and, if I have time I brought a Forum Blend Maduro too to see how the few months of age have affected this cigar.

my suggestion is to smoke the Opus X first, with a fresh palate. it's a great smoke.
