    Lazy Palate?

    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

    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
    Couple of things I've learned. I like good Bourbon and hate wet toilet paper.

    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...

    I would hit up our local Gurkha fanboy for some palate cherry busters. I figgure' 30 a month will do the trick...😁
