Need the Bums help here.

I smoked a Crux Passport the other night, making it the second Passport (different vitola) I've had. I thoroughly disliked both (sorry, Tony).

On another forum, a review was written, and it had "tannic" as one of the flavors. Further investigation led me to find tannic as an acrid and/or bitter taste - more common with wines.

To me, the Passports tasted like the aftertaste of artificial sweetners or diet pops. They were absolutely horrible (sorry again, Tony).

Does anyone like tannic flavors?

Which sticks should I avoid that feature this flavor?

Hopefully not all Crux share this taste!
