Lazy Palate?

[jhedrick83]

I don't know why this is, but it seems like sometimes the first cigar I smoke the flavors are muted but if I then light up something immediately afterwards I get a lot more flavor out of it. It's almost like the first cigar wakes up my palate for the next one. It doesn't seem to matter what I smoke first and I never eat or drink anything too flavorful before a cigar as to not wreck my palate. Does this ever happen to you guys? Maybe I'm just a little :crazy:

I'm kinda funny with the palate myself. This morning's MX2 Dagger was rather muted. But, normally, for me, I lose tastes and aromas with 2nd cigars and on. The Camacho Corojo Maduro churchill yesterday was great, the Triple Maduro last night, not so much

mine depends on what I ate or drank before. some flavors just don't mix well

Pretty much the same for me.

I think my palate is fried. I don't identify flavors in a cigar other than cinnamon a few times. I taste differences but not identiable flavors. I just accept my shortcomings.😎👀

Pretty much where I'm at, can pick up on flavour changes while smoking, rarely can put a name to those.

Time of day, mood, what I ate or drank all dramatically effect how they taste to me. Ive had the same cigars over and over and have learned which ones yo smoke when

Sounds like me!
I get the shifts but can't readily identify most flavors. :(

I've only been smoking for about 7 years, I'm still relatively fresh. So I can still taste things on the first try. But we will see in a few years...

You did say "it doesn't matter what I smoke first". That was a test, you passed.....

May it be with you or whatever the space cadets say.....

I've never been able to discern flavors. It's 'like' or 'don't like' for me. Personally, this is something I don't want to work at. It's intended for enjoyment, so I don't care about describing it! But...that's just me.
