Not grammatically correct I know, but what are some things you can do to improve your ability to perceive flavors in cigars.
I think it should be, "How Can You Learn To Taste More Better?"

This is a great and pretty much comprehensive post, David.

I think it's worth emphasizing the idea of slowing down. My perception is that a lot of people smoke too fast, which in turn makes the cigar burn too hot and can damage the flavors. I don't get any less pleasure from smoking a little slower, even setting aside the benefits of better taste and less ashtray-mouth.

The ONLY thing I can think to add is kind of the opposite of the retrohale, where you let a little bit of smoke exit your mouth and then inhale it through your nose. I get a lot of flavor from doing that, wind permitting of course. I've read of that being called a French inhale, so I guess we'd call it a Freedom inhale
