Please make a list of the cigars you smoke and post it. I'd like to make sure I avoid the vast majority of the first group in the list.

Those are all from my own rolls, bro.

Hahaha haha, ^ This!
Thankful I haven't had very many terrible cigars, I too wish to avoid those flavors. I did struggle through a bourbon once that had tasting notes of battery acid and industrial solvent...
Good idea though, I can actually imagine most of those being applicable. And it's good to have the reference.

 

[VeLoRoK]

You forgot that old favorite: magnifying glass roasted ants.

 

[Dominican56]

Many of those things are simply not something of a gastronomical experience for me.
I plan on them never being in my mouth.

 

[memphsdad]

You have to hit up @Hopduro to add to the 2nd portion of your list, pretty sure he has tasted shit like cinnamon toast crunch and mint chocolate chip ice cream.

 

[Dominican56]

you didn't list maggots... those might be pretty awful, too.

 

[Hopduro]

Woah, where's the horseshit?

Yes, I've tasted these.

Wait wait wait wait wait - you've actually tasted the above list? I call BS.

I don't doubt it all. Just from the few bad ones I've had (ghurka, macanudo, patel) I can definitely flavors such as those coming in to play.
In fact you should add pool water, and vague chemicals or nail Polish..

No dude, you might THINK those are the flavors but how do you KNOW that unless you've actually tasted the real thing?

Cant remember what the heck it was but I took a couple puffs off a stick that reminded me of horseshit on a hot day.

Scent. More than half of taste is smell. That's why we can reference oak and cedar, though most of us have never chewed on a boat oar or clothing chest.

Ghurka centurion.. Had to be..

That is true - and I agree with you. I always say, "This tastes like the smell of cedar". Seems a bit more accurate.

 

[icehog3]

You're missing "unwiped ass" and "root beer". Rarely found together, though.

 

[ZippoGeek]

I frequently taste notes of asphalt, mustard and horseradish. Weird.

 

[Glassman]

Alright icehog and Zippo, we're gonna need a list of what y'all smoke as well..... Definitely don't want to experience those..
