Allergies and taste

I'm one of those people who have year-round allergies, both indoor and outdoor. Most of the year I am fine with my zyrtec (hope I spelled that right, I take the Walgreen's generic version). However, from about mid-May through the end of June, my sense of taste goes south.

For example, a normally reliable short smoke for me is the Maria Guerrero 444. I have a 5 month old box that I periodically smoke from. However, today the taste was so strong of tar that I had to put out the smoke after about 3/4".

I decided to cleanse my taste buds with a du Depute (thanks Dokk!) and it tasted spot on. I have no idea why one was so off and one was spot on.

Does anyone else find this happening to them?

Also, this time of year my reliable Dr. Pepper tastes off to me so I smoek with water instead. Strange.
