How do you taste the flavor in a cigar?

Question

Today I smoked a wine flavored black and mild, but I couldnt taste the flavor in the smoke. How do u get out the flavor? Also wenever I try to swirl the smoke around in my mouth, I accidentally swallow it. why is that? also what is the best smelling flavor, and r they bad for u?

Answer 1

Its a B&M - its not so much flavored as scented......

Answer 2

It is still smoking, so yes it's bad for you.

I don't think you're supposed to swirl the smoke in your mouth, just hold it there.

Beyond that I have a hard time getting the full flavour experience myself.

Answer 3

alright so... it usually doesnt taste like anything on b&m's but it smells like its suposed to taste, also all you have to do is move your tounge around and youll taste it more (try holding it in your mouth)  Of course theyre bad for you duh... no brainer... and for black and milds i think creme smells the best. (to the other answers)  i had a watermelon philly today and the smoke doesnt taste at all but they put a flavored peice of paper on the end... see for your self...

Answer 4

Black and Milds are gross, the flavor just comes with the smoke, you swallowed because you are not used to it and of course cigars are bad for you. Now move up to something decent so that you'll at least get enjoyment out of the thing.

Answer 5

get better cigars and you will get better flavor for me i find philly blunts the best for distinct flavor, you will taste on your lips and smell it.

best is peach or chocolate

Answer 6

dip the cigar in wine or cognac(hope thats spelt right)...its supposed to enhance the flavor

Answer 7

B&Ms are the 20th horse of a 12 horse race.  

The flavors of a cigar are much like wine.  You develope a taste and sense with  experiences.

Identify and document the coffee and chocolate flavors in a earthy Maduro or distinguishing between the “pepper-spice” in an aged Corojo and the “sweet-hay-spice” in a Cameroon wrapper, is a pleasurable experience. Correctly and consistently naming flavors and aromas helps us to better relate your cigar experiences with other cigar smokers and helps us to identify the characteristics smokers enjoy in a cigar (like the fruit tastes within a wine - or the oakiness).

TIPS:

*Smoke slower, taste better

*Try a wide variety of cigars

*Practice, practice, practice describing your cigar experiences, then practice again

*Compare your notes to others

* BIGGEST TIP: educate yourself to the products charicteristics, and learn to identify what you have learned!

Like wine, cigars have a flavor chart
