Favorite cigar flavor...ranch?

[RamzaFreak20]

I was wowed the other day by a particular flavor in a yardgar. I got to thinking, that particular flavor was in the top cigars that I could recall off the top of my head. I tried to really concentrate. I was getting something salty (type that with a straight face..), almost meaty. Not quite steak. Almost like the main ingredient in ranch dressing. Anyone ever taste ranch in your cigars?

Quit eating ranch Doritos and rummaging through your humi

Actually I was sober lol. And I don't ear chips, not on my derby diet. But ranch is the best way to describe it. Maybe just the char of steak, but a specific seasoning. I don't know what exactly, but its delicious.

He's lying. He was probably drunk

I have tasted that too but I was eating Doritos haha
However I get graham cracker taste out of Jericho hill cigars. I suppose any flavor is possible in relation to their own palette

I've heard that flavor being described before in some cigar reviews.

tangy honeyed sharp penciled twang with a dash of dirt ranch.

Ive picked up a few unusual flavors/tastes while smoking, like baked apple, chipotle pepper and even fried chicken skin. These flavors dont usually last long, but they are pronounced enough to easily recognize them. I have not experienced a ranch flavor yet that i can recall.

Could be umami?

From the wiki:

Umami /uːˈmɑːmi/, a savory taste,[1][2][3] is one of the five basic tastes (together with sweet, sour, bitter and salty).

A loanword from the Japanese (うま味?), umami can be translated as "pleasant savory taste".[4] This particular writing was chosen by Professor Kikunae Ikeda from umai(うまい) "delicious" and mi (味) "taste". The kanji 旨味 are used for a more general sense of a food as delicious.

People taste umami through receptors for glutamate, commonly found in its salt form as the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG).[5] For that reason, scientists consider umami to be distinct from saltiness.[6]

I once got "montreal steak seasoning" out of Flores y Rodriguez maduro.... but I was drunk at the bullfights.
