As slightly touched on above, the flavours are there, however...at the end of the day, you are smoking a tobacco product, not a leather bound, cream filled wooden coffee bean. With time, and experience comes the ability to define tastes, and the ability to vocalise your personal tasting experience, and that's what is most important...the personal experience. Just because you read of one cigar, and everyone mentions spice for example, don't start puffing away hard, until you find the spice hidden in there. If you come away tasting notes of vanilla pods instead, that doesn't make you wrong or right, its just part of your personal experience with that cigar. Just enjoy the cigar for what it is you find. As long as youre enjoying the cigar, I don't think it matters too much if there isn't much coming through. You'll know when you find one with flavours you don't enjoy, as you'll be much more content leaving it to go out after a third of the way down. When you get a cigar, and the flavours start pouring through, youll know about it...as youll immediately head online to see how much a box is, youll come and tell us about it, and youll then tell the wife the dishwasher broke and you had to take a couple of hundred out of the savings account to fix it, when in actual fact, you just wanted to buy the box that is now sitting in your humidor, which is now full, so youre back online looking at how you could convince your wife to let you buy a cabinet to start housing your collection in (I do not advocate lying to your wife...they will find out, and they will make you suffer when they do.)
Flavour works in such a way, that it doesn't just activate that one sense, but sends a few of them into a crazy scurry. Whether one flavour reminds you of all the sounds you heard when walking the wet streets of Paris, or the sight of the sun coming up over the peak district on a warm summer morning, or the feel of warm soft......well anyway. This ultimately means, a lot of what youre tasting isn't just about what your tastebuds are sensing, but identifying the correlation of these flavours to your life. Which is why a lot of what you will hear vocalised, will be elements of leather, mahogany, cream, wet slate, grass etc....
I've never personally munched on a leather sofa, so I don't know how leather tastes...however I know how it feels, its light smell, what it looks like...and this is what leads to finding it on the palette.
Just relax, don't worry about finding the flavours...let them find you.
