I have a problem with taste...

[Deano]

Since I got back from Cuba, nothing is smoking well - everything I try, montes, partagas, bolivar - everything tastes so mild and almost without taste.

What the hell is going on?

I was smoking strong cigars out there, but I was also smoking a lot of monte 2's - all tasting great. I really don't know what's happened to my palette!

I've had that about about 4 months ago, lasted quite a while too. Strangely I finally narrowed it down to my diet.
Have you started eating anything different or cut back on anything?

[Deano]

Not that I believe. Maybe a lot of coffee this week, but I was drinking strong coffee there anyway. Really p*ssing me off tbh!

Are you coming down with a cold, my taste buds are screwed at the moment due to flu. I'm sure I got it from the air circulation on the plane

Try some NCs...

[cohibaIV]

Or the simple one...

Don't have a smoke for a week or two and then come back to taste the nector!!!!

Time away from cigars works...IMHO

[satch]

Did you go mad on smokes over there and made your pallette a bit jaundiced?

[r0lan6]

Could it be the pressure differentials instigated by a change in climate, perhaps interfering with the molecular taste structures of the leaf...? They might just be too fresh and may need ageing a bit...?

Maybe the mistress karma is saying you have had too much of a wonderful thing and is balancing things for us peasant folk lol

Try hydrating yourself, it is very easy to become dehydrated without realising it, especially if you have been somewhere warm and hitting the alcohol a bit harder than usual, and dehydration plays havoc with your taste buds. I sometimes force myself to drink 4-6 pints of weak squash or water over a couple of hours to rehydrate. Remember you become dehydrated long before you feel thirsty. Also if cigars or anything taste a bit more peppery it's also a sign of being a bit dehydrated.

Also you might be coming down with something, my reliable cigars over the last 2 days have seemed a little off and I've just woken up from a massive headache and phoning Huey on the white porcelain phone lol. If something doesn't feel right it probably isn't.

I usually find that after a week or 3 on The Island, smoking waaaay more than my usual allotment of Habanos, I'm a bit "smoked out" when I get home. Try a few days of abstinence and see if that helps.

Do we get a BIG post about your Cuba trip Deano or have you done one and I missed it?

You've been overdoing it.
