Let's try this...
Recently, I was pondering my favorite tastes and aromas in cigars. Then I started thinking, "how do you explain that to somebody?" I will start us off. I love tasting and smelling chocolate, coffee, cream, red pepper, salt, cedar and leather. So how do I paint somebody a picture of what that's like?
Picture this: You are sitting in a library of sorts, let's say your own. You sit in a fine leather chair in a cedar-lined room. You have as refreshments, a cup of Italian espresso and cream, and a chocolate bar. Not just any bar, a 75% dark chocolate bar, with sea salt and red pepper pieces. You nibble at the bar, and chase it with a sip of the espresso and cream.
That's how I'd describe the combination of tastes and aromas that I love in a cigar. And if I ever found a stick that had all those together? I'd go bankrupt buying them all. Anybody else want to try this exercise?
