How many guys like spice in a cigar

[habanos_specialist]

I was watching a video of james suckling at the padron tobacco farm with jorge and his dad; and they said that spice in a cigar is not a positive attribute in a cigar and that he learnt that from old time cubans him and his dad used to know.

i dont mind the peppery tingle in a cigar but i dont like spice and i hear i lot of reviewers saying "it has a nice spice to it".

can you get a full bodied cigar that doesnt have the "spice" aspect and that is smooth on the pallet? and who here actually likes the "spice", everyones flavours preferences are different and i even here people say they love to smoke way beyond the band point because that is the spiciest part.

there are so many conflicting views that i dont know whether if i have a spicy taste in my cigar, whether theres a problem with the cigar or not?

I guess it depends on the type of spice - its not like it's just one flavour. Personally I love cinnamon or nutmeg in a cigar.

I agree with 7kingsguy. It very much depends. If you try one of the larger gauge La Ricas, you'll find a peppery taste to them, which many people enjoy. I for one, love the robustos, they have a fantastic peppery taste to them.

Spice flavours like cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, etc can be fantastic but I'm not a fan of the tingling mouth sensation at all. It feels to me like it's masking any subtler flavours underneath.

I like a bit of a spicy flavourto a cigar, but I don't like my palate to be burning or numb. Hints of nutmeg and cinnamon taste good in a cigar, pepper and chilli belong in a curry.
