Meh. You mean the "Might be cocoa, might be clay mud" but really no definitive flavor. I totally agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokyFontaine Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I like pepper when it's part of a full bodied nicaraguan, but when it's the flavor from an otherwise mild-bodied Cuban that lingers in my tongue and throat, no thanks. The only less desirable would be that astringent, bitter flavor of a cigar burning hot or too young. There is no way that I could only smoke from one origin and be content. I really love the diversity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigcars Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 *Don't do "butter": Don't do "pepper": Don't like "Vegetal" - E-E-U-U-W-W. And am finding I'm gravitating more and more away from Honduran puro cigars - too dirty and earthy tasting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got banana in a cigar! Banana to me is a trait (and not a flaw) of Belgian beers like tripels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmelle Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Can't handle the soapy note I used to get from non cuban maduros . Always tasted like soap to me. Got it a lot in Padron maduros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris12381 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Pepper. Especially a white pepper but a spicy black pepper is not sediment something I enjoy I enjoy smoking a cigar. So, basically most non-Cuban cigars that are produced these days. There is also a chemical taste that I seem to get when I smoke some non-Cuban maduros (a rare event). There's even a strange color to the smoke (I think). It's suspicious. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar Surgeon Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Loam, leather, and then there's the burning cardboard that comes from some Dominican tobaccos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mprach024 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Used to drive passed a paper factory semi frequently, the smell from there was this acrid burning cardboard/paper smell that would gag me, hard to explain. I get that every once in a while from a really bad MonteCristo. I love Montes but bad ones that have that quality I’m 2 puffs in a I’m binning it.

Yes, agree the banana is present and expected in some Belgians and hefes. I did say most.... The wild yeasts and results are a key factor that contributes to Michael Jackson's (not the gloved one) opinion that Belgium is the Disneyland of beer!

Vitola Corleone Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Driftwood, which seems to be present especially in many (not all) Monte 2's. But the worst is the bitterness I get when an ash plug is forming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter19 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Pepper. I cracked a box of Epicure de Luxe and have never disliked a cigar so much. Every puff, was like chewing on peppercorns. I smoke NC's as well and never experienced anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmbarton Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Leather and black pepper. However! White pepper and green bell peppers, as with many Partagas, I do enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri Fi Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Super floral or perfume like flavor. I have a couple boxes of Fonseca no1 UTL MAY 18 that taste like I’m chewing on an 80 year woman’s night gown. I had some 2019 Fonseca that were sweet and chocolatey.

Baccy Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Never gotten any buttery notes from a lit cigar, but most certainly from a cold one and to me they're the best. When I get a nice buttery aroma, I know that's a top notch smoke! The most offputting I would have to agree with the others is pepper and also that acrid note get when the cigar is overheated... yuckSent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
