Palate

[Tredegar]

Last year, about this time, I had a really bad sinus infection that lasted several weeks. When it was done I lost most of my sense of smell. Along with that a lot of my taste sensations went away, so I really can't taste, or smell a lot of things anymore. With cigars I can't pick up many fine nuances but can still tell if something tastes good or not.

Since adopting the "Nasal Exhale" a few years ago this has beocme much less of an issue unless I have a cold or its the 14th cigar of the day.

For mouth smokers only - the experience is so much more subtle that it is wasy to envision small things affecting the perception of cigar flavors. How recently you ate or drank, and what what it was at the top of the list.
