Cigar Flavour Wheel

[El Presidente]

Was asked this morning by e-mail to put up to what I refer to as a Cigar Flavour Wheel.

This is not my invention and I have seen it around (in various forms) for 20 + years.

Always good to keep it handy when that one flavour escapes you........that one....you can taste it but not quite define it.

This particular one was put online in the early 2000's by a friend of mine who ran an online cigar shop based in Switzerland.

IMHO it's still the best one.

Thanks for that Frank. I had no idea where it came from.

Cool!

However I don't see 'impetuous,' 'beguiling,' 'garrulous,' or even 'meretricious' listed, are you sure it's a complete wheel?

Just need to memorize this now

I used this as the basis for the Classic Flavours Polls. Had to tweak it it a bit to fit as many options as I could into the survey, as the number of questions was limited.

It's excellent. Just need to update it to add some contemporary favourites such as "stonefruit", "apricot", "honey" and "toasted tobacco" et al.

To add onto what John was saying...

1) The inclusion of vanilla, tannin, liqueur, and vinegar in the "Fruity" section is a bit odd to me. Might consider expanding that section to something a bit more detailed, as we see in the University of California, Davis wine flavor wheel.

2) I'd consider pulling "sweet" into its own category, as distinct from "Spicy". The FoH reviewers have mentioned, for example: general sweetness, butterscotch, honey (light and dark), sugar cane, caramel, molasses, nougat, and others.

3) I don't see roast lamb or peanut butter anywhere on the wheel. Strange.

I have tasted Horseradish and Sesame, though not in the same cigar.

Thanks for posting these. I remember seeing one a couple years ago and was just thinking I needed to find it again...

It's certainly not a complete wheel Pres, "driftwood" is missing! ?
