I'm an idiot. ruined two prime cigars!

[Engineer99]

I'm on a multi day run of smoking a couple cigars a day and my palate is definitely fatigued...I don't enjoy them as much and although the great flavors are there, they're just not that enjoyable. I normally smoke 3-4 cigars a week and in the last 3 days, I smoked 6. Time to abstain for a bit, and reset the palate.

reset the palate.

Great point here! Sometimes you just have to back away and do a palate re-boot. Especially in times of oral crises, such as colds, an invasive trip to the dentist, a new mouth rinse, or a new tooth paste. The smallest things can play havoc with our senses of taste and need to be payed attention to.

Would something like a citrus sorbet reset the palate for cigars like it does between courses at a fine restaurant?

That sounds like something I'd be willing to give a whirl. Another thing that probably has an effect on me lately is the three types of medication for my jacked up back; an anti-inflammatory, a muscle relaxer, and a pretty heavy duty painkiller. Besides being high as hell all the time and ready to fall asleep at the drop of a hat, I've been having the strangest sensation in my teeth.
