Is my palate broken?

Like anything else it takes time. 15 cigars is what many of us smoke in a week, myself included. Think of it like trying to taste the nuances of any thing, coffee just tastes like coffee until after a while you start to notice differences in richness, bitterness and other subtle differences. Beer, scotch, hot food are some other examples.

I dont do a lot of retrohaling with non-Cuban cigars, singeing nose hair is not pleasant, maybe once or twice for a cigar sometimes none.

The flavor wheel is a good place to start trying to find the flavors.

Odd, I posted that before seeing the 2 above it. Guess they popped up while I was typing.

This is my collection as of a couple weeks ago. Smoked the Cohibas and a couple of others. These are all from sampler deals (got both of my humis that way), and a few were gifted from a couple generous members on here. Bought fivers of Golds and AF SS. Infused from samplers as well.

Sorry for the crappy pics.

I'm nearly out of room on the traditionals

Edit: Bryan, I'm always hungry for a cigar

I usually only smoke maybe twice per week.

Went out with family to visit an old friend, got to talking with his Cuban neighbor that was over at the time and he hit me with that

About a month old. I guess he just got back from visiting family in Cuba a couple weeks prior.

It makes the humi look good haha I think it'll be a while before I smoke it.
