I had never really gotten what all these cigar reviews were talking about when they would talk about hint of honey, licorice, earth, leather, wood, etc.
The other night I was smoking a La Gloria Cubana Wavell. Then the following day I was eating some vanilla ice cream and I had put some orange blossom honey on it as a substitute for caramel and it reminded me of that great smoke I had the previous night. Then it hit me. I got it.

I have still yet to define floral, nutmeg, and black cherries.  But I get the woody, cedar, earthy, honey, and creamy myself.  But it seems that each flavor just hits you when it hits.  Glad you are onto it!  Wink

Many more to  come. It's a wonderful thing.

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

Yeppers!  I have picked up some through out the years.  Not sure if I will ever be able to pick up .... deepening mushroom-tinged earthiness intertwined with curiously sweet ligero tobacco, as though the leaves had rested in old English ale barrels. Then it was on to yet more coffee, now infused with Brazilian chocolate, sultana residues and the heat of cherry peppers.

Its crazy how you might smoke a cigar one night and then the next morning eat breakfast or lunch and taste what you couldnt figure out was in your cigar. It truly is a fun and exciting journey learning your palate.
