Last Puff: Manifesto de Tobacco :: Cigar Reviews by a Half-Wit: "I remember lighting up a favored cigar on the front porch a few months ago, then sitting down to read some reviews in a hot-off-the-press Cigar publication that had landed in the mail that day. In one particular instance, the guest reviewer went on and on about all of these crazy flavors that he detected in the cigar such as currants, chocolate, nutmeg, pine, zinc, linoleum and whatever the hell else seemed to wander through his mind. He also mentioned how the flavors kept changing throughout the cigar.
Weirdo that I am, here are the thoughts that went through my head while reading his review:
* Is he eating a pie but he thinks it's a cigar?
* Is he a frustrated food critic?
* Is this cigar the equivalent of the gum Willy Wonka made that is like a 3-course meal?
* and finally- Am I supposed to taste all of this but my palate is too ignorant?
To be honest, I went through a little palate envy for a moment... but only for a moment. My self-esteem rebounded after the momentary dip and I decided that this guy was just plain full of shit."
-- I hear you man, to say that a cigar tastes like any kind of food that you can crock up because there aren't that many adjectives that are suited to describe the taste of a cigar -- is a bunch of shit.
I particularly HATE the expression "Notes of nutmeg" etc. -- Bob
