urbino:Can't say that I have, happily. OTOH, butyric acid is also a prominent component of butter (hence the name), and I have had cigars that tasted buttery.

robert69165:Better yet chew on your wifes leather shoes, this may led to somthing hehe!
Does this mean I have to smell my fart before I can fairly say a bad cigar tastes like crap? Or will smelling a fart while smoking then make my good cigar taste like crap?

Kuzi, the second I started reading this thread it really peaked my interest, because I have personal experience with the innerworkings of the nasal passasge, the olfactory sensors, and the chemistry of smell itself. Why you ask? Well a little over a year ago, I was ran over by a car and I came out of it with a fractured skull and a severe concussion (along with some nerve damage in my leg and an aching spine). Anyway, it took me almost a week to realize that I couldn't smell anything, anything at all. You name it, I couldn't smell it. My doctor told me that my olfactory nerves had been completely severed by the severity (lol) of my concussion and he honestly couldn't tell me if they were going to reattach to the point where I could ever smell again. Here's the kicker, I couldn't notice a single difference in the way I taste food. It was since then the day that I began smoking cigars (bought a Punch from the local smoke shop and said "damn this is good!") But as I have been getting more and more into the hobby of collecting and smoking cigars it has really begun to make me think about my affliction in new and different ways. When I hear you and other more seasoned cigar smokers talking about developing your palate and cycling smoke through your nose I begin to wonder: 1) Is this why I prefer stronger cigars even though I am a novice smoker? 2) Is there something I am missing from each and every cigar I have? 3)Perhaps my olfactory sensors work when I am blowing out and not when I am sucking in? Because I have tried the retrohale (as I have heard it called) with results that brought tears to my eyes. You seem to be a very knowledgeable chap and I was wondering if you had an opinion on this, anything I could benefit from knowing, or maybe even some suggestions.
Thanks,
