I have smoked a few cigars lately. Cheroots and cigarillos also.
It's new territory, so I'm not familiar with the flavors, and I'm not very good at tasting any difference between different cigars.
But they have made some changes in the way I taste some pipe tobaccos. Right now I am smoking Irish Flake, and suddenly I taste a kind of very dry earthy or woody note that I hadn't payd attention to before. I would describe it as "cigar-like", but perhaps that only makes sense to my untrained palate regarding cigars.
It puzzles me that I also get these cigar notes from Royal Yacht. Even more than from Irish Flake. RY is supposed to be a virginia blend. But I'm not so sure about that. It has always been kind of the odd-out va-blend anyways.
