Weirdest flavour you have come across in a cigar.

[El Presidente]

Happened Sunday.  it made me check my home humidor when I got back Monday. 

salted fish. specifically, bacalow.  Never tasted it before and hopefully never again.  it was a small section (just after midway) of a connie 3.

One of the reasons I like cigars so much is that I’ll get a weird scent memory every so often—not sure if it’s real or my brain misfiring. The last one was fresh linoleum: it was identical to the smell of Frankfurt-am-Main Airport when I was 4 years old, about to return to the United States for the first time since I was a few months old.

Grape bubble gum and metal from an Opus X, years ago.

Without a doubt... SOAP! I've tasted this several times, and it was unmistakable. I've heard others taste it, too. Rumors about rollers not rinsing their hands after washing. Who knows? 

[anacostiakat]

Perfume-like.  Very odd.

Bubble gum (lasted a few seconds) from a n/c RomaCraft BA Intemperance Avarice a few years ago.

Kimchi ?

First HdM I've had for a while. Fresh cut pine boards like from a big hardware store or lumber yard.  Wood is a fairly common flavor, but it was more 'industrial' or 'back of Home Depot' tasting.  Weird.

Scrumpy cider

Petrol (not that uncommon I believe)

Novocaine/Lidocaine.  It was an infused cigar that I was smoking on a dare, (an Island Jim, I later learned) and it tasted just like dental surgery.

Occasionally I’ll get a musty, dank note ... like a wet towel that was dropped in a hamper for a week or so. It’s never made me toss a cigar off a second story balcony, it just hits me but then goes away or turns into wet hay.

I just smoked a Punch regional and it was very perfumy. I stopped smoking cohiba pyramids for this reason. I've also tasted steak. Thought that might be a beetle larva. Soap, graphite and minerals (like drinking well water).

Occasionally I've experienced mint and menthol flavors, which have caught me off guard! Once and only once I tasted cheesecake, I was not a fan ?

[Sir Sooty]

Soapy lavender from a DE undercrown once...I was also coming down with cold so might have been a factor.

Intense green apples for about a 6 min section of a CoLa, god that was a beautiful cigar...it’s been 8 months and I still dream of that cigar

[torsion]

Menthol/mint from CoLa's - had this a couple of times and scratch my head as to where it comes from!

I smoked one Monday night, thank god I didn't taste bakalow, I have gotten roast pork before though...

[joeypots]

Soap. 

[gr8eman]

I have also gotten bubble gum! Not sure which cigar it was, just I know it was Cuban!

[CubanConnoisseur]

Cilantro.....damn do I hate cilantro ?

[clickbangdoh]

An NC I used to smoke (Joya de Nicaragua Celebration) used to consistently taste of blueberry pop-tarts.... It was a very interesting flavor, and unexpected.
