Quantity Affecting Taste Poll

[Clint]

How much of an affect does smoking multiple cigars in a row have on your palate?

 

[jimjim99]

by the second stick it gets all muffled.

I try not to smoke a Super Premium after I have just smoked a cigar. I think it is a waste. Your palate has been rode hard and put away wet.


Damn - Would have made a hell of a poll son. LOL

At the trade show, I didnt want to try something I thought was going to be really good if I had been smoking all day. Tried to smoke the lighter stuff earlier in the day and then progress.

 

[benday]

yeah, this greatly depends on the progression of the smokes...a powerhouse to start and a 30yr old stick to follow would make a hell of a difference but vice-versa may not be very dramatic.

I try to go light to heavy, or more likely in my case heavy all the way through (just not heavy to light). I also don't smoke expensive stuff as a 3rd, 4th, or whatever cigar...

 

[AnthonyP]

I try to smoke all full bodied or progress gradually.

 

[vivalanation734]

It impacts me a good deal depending on the strength of the cigars.

 

[strife]

My palate seems to catch up to whatever I'm smoking right around the end of the first third depending on how many I've smoked so I try to arrange a "batting order" if I plan to smoke 3 or more.

I almost never get much out of stick #2 unless there is a good 1/2 hour and something to cleanse my palate (food, booze, etc.). Even then, my ability to taste what's going on is reduced by at least 50%. I hope this improves with time. I know guys who smoke 4-5 cigars in a day without missing a beat, it seams.

 

[LiLo]

It definitely affects me but not enough to ruin the experience. I certainly wouldn't smoke a cigar and then smoke another different cigar and review it though.

 

[Greyghost]

I normally only smoke 2 a day, morning and evening. The back to back thing does not work for me. I have not got that great a palate. Most of my smokes are full bodied or at least med to full.

 

[Jwrussell]

Depends on the number of cigars and the cigars themselves. Though I can pretty much say after 3-4 my palate is pretty much dead. I don't usually have an issue with two cigars.

Of course, I don't think I have all that great of a palate to begin with when it comes to tasting nuances in cigars.

... I try to arrange a "batting order" if I plan to smoke 3 or more.

Best way to go right there.

:cjump:

 

[GoingPostal]

When i know i'm gonna smoke a couple in a row i try to give at least a half hour inbetween cigars. if i go back to back flavors blend and cant really tell what's going on with the second cigar

 

[Wink]

I can not chain smoke cigars, sometimes I would like to but can't. I think the last one I smoked was over 2 hours so I know I was done after that 1!

 

[ciggy]

I only smoke one a day because I enjoy just that one cigar to the fullest. I've tried back to back but I think it cheapens the experience. If I do smoke another cigar I wait along time before I do...which is rare.

 

[Craig Mac]

I voted very little, mostly because I always take at least an hour or so between and usually eat/drink something as well. I can only think of one time recently I chain smoked 3 cigars and I started light and finished strong. Palate was ruined that day by the end of the 3rd cigar, but that is a very rare occasion I do that.
