ever had a day when cigars didn't taste right?

[kgoings]

Smoking some cigars tonight...and they dont taste right. One is a first time smoke, and the other is one I smoke all the time. The first time smoke tasted like @ss and my regular cigar tasted muted, and bland...

I havent been sick, and I didnt eat anything before smoking...had a water with the smokes.

What were they? What about Storage? New purchases, different B&M? (On your regular smoke)

This happens to me every once in a while. I dont know why but I will go a few days even a week not liking any cigars including my favorites. I cant explain why this happens but it does. You are not alone.

I have had a nagging head cold for like 2 weeks and that has killed the good flavor of cigars, but I am still firing them up. Just not the good ones.

Without a cold, sometimes it just happens. Hope tomorrow straightens out your taste for you.

The new one was an Opus and the regular was a Taboo Twist from a box I have. My vino has been rock solid 68 degrees and 65RH. I was going to finish the night with one of the cc's I have but decided that I dont want to waste it.

maybe its like a mans period...taste changes. Then you don't like what you smoke so you get angry. All the symptoms.:mad: haha
Seriously though I've had those days too.

I would save the CC for later... now is a good time to get rid of your dog rockets

For me that's when I know it is time to Herf with some BOTL/SOTL!!!

Everything tastes better when I'm Herfing!!!

[dcamacho]

ive had one cigar not taste right, but never "cigars" ..... thats weird. did u try pairing them with drinks? did u have a bad week/day? just curious.

[kgoings]

No not necessarily a bad or stressful day, in fact I was really looking forward to smoking a cigar.

[Scottw]

Hasn't happened yet thankfully.

This happens to me more frequently than I'd like. I smoke daily and often go through varying degrees of what some call "sick palate." Diet and any number of factors can have an impact. With me, I believe it's just the frequency with which I smoke. Sometimes cigars taste flat - like cigarettes or even hot air. Sometimes all cigars begin to taste the same. It feels chemical to me -- almost like an allergy. Sometimes it resolves the following day. And sometimes I need to take a break for a couple days or even a week or two. In rare instances, I get what I call "toxic palate" -- when cigars taste like licking an ash tray or even burning rubber. That's when I take a long break.

Conversely, once in a blue moon, I get what I call "euphoric palate", when all cigars taste unusually good, but the same. That's when I smoke the cheap stuff!

That sounds about like it! I had a cigar on Wed of last week...but that was the last...I usually dont go that long between cigars.

Happens to me all the time. I think it has to do with my mood, how I'm feeling, and what I've had to eat. Sure is dissapointing though.

[zmancbr]

Yup! Sometimes they just aren't the same... I find that the food I eat, gum I chew, what I drink, and even my mood all change the taste of cigars for me.

Some days I think I am in the mood to smoke and then once I light it up, I realize I'm not. Although that is rare thankfully lol...

Have you changed toothpaste recently? Sounds crazy, but this can have an affect on you palate. About six months ago I switched to a "Total Care" toothpaste. After about a week, I lost all taste for cigars. A strong JdN or LFD tasted the same as a mild smoke. Maduro's same as Connies. Read another post where they said TP may be the issue. Switched back to the old reliable and within 3 days the taste buds were back as was the enjoyment of a good smoke. :2

Smoked an Anejo #55 tonight and couldn't get one flavor out of it. It tasted like nothing at all, just like smoking air.

[groogs]

I can't say why, but I have gone through stages where cigars just didn't tast right. I usually go to my pipes for a few weeks, and then I am ready to jump back into cigars.

Maybe it is just me but, if you are getting a diferent flavor with diferent TP, you are using the wrong orifice:r

:tpd: I have noticed this also.

[Mr. Ed]

Colds and stuffed noses usually do it for me,

[Cigary]

I have been thru phases where this happens and it is just like the brother says,,,,smoking air. Had me nervous for awhile but then it all came back and just chocked it up to a bad week.
