Method:
Gonna tackle this sector slower - one at a time with some recovery time in between. Smell first, then let it rest in the mouth, and then chewing. Maybe I'll cycle through them again without waiting to see the immediate differences.

1. Black Pepper (NYT - not yet tasted)

2. White Pepper (NYT)

3. Green Pepper (NYT)

4. Red Pepper (NYT)

5. Cayene (NYT)

6. Cinnamon (NYT)

7. Clove
Smell:
Aromatic, sweet, pungent, brown sugary, decent level of spice
Unchewed:
Nothing
Chewed:
Dry, very acidic, noticeable burn, not sweet, potpourri-ish, burn picks up here and there, cool to the taste, nictoine-ish, strong, deep

I have smoke a few cigars where I have picked up a floral flavor. I am not a fan of this but your description of chewed clove makes me think this is that flavor I am not a fan of. When I think clove I think of ham and sweet. The only time I know I like clove taste is pumpkin pie.

Thanks for this gives me something to try to pin down next time I pick up those floral hints.
