Re: Questions you think are too stupid to ask!

Is there any way I could develop my pallet so I can appreciate cigars better?

Re: Questions you think are too stupid to ask!

Well, smoke more for one

Also, sometimes I like to drink a nice stout (guinness, murphys, or even an imperial stout), have some chocolate on hand, etc. while smoking, if you try different things while smoking it will generally bring out different nuances of the flavor.

I went back to the same shop, and got the same cigar, and tried your advice. Sure enough it held together just fine, that must have been it. Also, the shop was actually at 70% RH, the digital hygro they had was off. So I'm concluding that wet smokes + fast smokes = fat smokes.

Re: Questions you think are too stupid to ask!

So what's the deal with Tatuajes, as in, who really chooses the blends?

Are they Pepins, are they Pete Johnsons, or what?

A little of column A, a little of column B?

Pretty much what cigar9 said. Pete looks for a certain taste etc and Pepin makes blends for him to try, then Pete picks out what he wants. The way Pete puts it, "he is a cigar designer, not a cigar blender". Hey from his own lips LOL
