Cigar Tasting with Henke Kelner
2010 ? Gary Manelski Licensed to About.com, Inc.

This was the most popular of all the seminars, since Henke Kelner provided seminar attendees with six special cigars. The cigars were used to demonstrate how tobacco can be blended to achieve distinct flavors. Basically, there are four major taste stimulations, Acid, Bitter, Salty, and Sweet. The first three cigars stimulated only one or two of the four distinct tastes, and as a result, were not properly balanced. The last three blends stimulated all four tastes, but each had unique flavors because each used a different wrapper.

I'd love to attend something like that.

More reviews I read, the more I get paranoid about whether I have a palette that can appreciate all the goodness I'm puffing!

Who cares about how good your palette is, you stick em in your coat pocket for later and sit there nodding your head.

What I cant believe is what hotel in there right mind would say "sure, lets have 150 people or more puffing on huge sticks in one of our nice banquet rooms"

bullshit walks I've attended Cfest ( Cigarfest ) and there was 2000 plus cigar puffing M Fs . And this in a nonsmokin state .
You could barely see 10' in front of you but it was splendid experience that should be had at least once in a lifetime. Oh right that wouldn't fly on the other side of the pond. Maybe we could change that some day .
