Developing an Aficionado’s Palate
Smoking cigars requires a palate that can distinguish subtle hints of sweetness from the stronger tones of the maduros and triple ligeros. The first thing you may want to do is to cut down on foods and habits that affect your palate. These things can seriously hinder your ability to taste.
The first is a habit, not a hobby and that habit is smoking cigarettes. Cigarette smoking can dull the sense of taste and smell two of the senses that make cigar smoking such a pleasure. It’s the chemicals that tobacco companies add to the cigarettes that cause this, not the tobacco itself. Cigars are not made up of synthetic chemicals, its natural tobacco. Quit cigarettes to enjoy the flavors of cigars more fully.
The second is diet. Consistently eating very spicy or strong foods can affect your palette. It may be a little odd to read about healthy eating in a cigar book, but it’s important to balance foods and flavors. It’s less about health than it is about flavors and the effects those flavors will have on your delicate palette.
