Ashtray mouth...

Well something has changed because cigars that I would normally really enjoy now taste like I've ashed into my mouth. No one has experienced this before?

I went through a spell last year where my palate was off. It'll come around. Try hershey chocolate with almonds right before you smoke one and see if that puts your palate in gear.

Had my tonsils removed a couple of years back (not fun as an adult). Everything tasted bitter for a good six months. To date, I think I'm only about 75 percent back to normal. Most of the taste now days comes through the retrohale.

Funny you posted this, as it just happened to me a few days ago. I narrowed it down to a specific cigar that didn't agree with me. It gave me cotton mouth and even after all the cleansing with citric juice, tongue scraping, smart mouth, food and lots of water, it came back a few hours later. That taste will turn me off to smoking for days. My wife was NOT happy, even our pets stayed away. I also find a bad taste is more prevalent when I nub a cigar or smoke too fast letting it get hot. No problems with my regular stash when I smoke em slow and cool, even if I burn 3 or 4 consecutive sticks.

The ones I have problems with are LADC Mi Amors, and H. Upmann Habanas...
