Van55 Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 The phenomenon of a Cuban cigar that tastes like soap was mentioned on another thread. Instead of continuing the discussion there, I thought it was worthy of its own thread, Since I began smoking Cuban cigars about 4 years ago, I have smoked perhaps 4 or 5 that tasted overwhelmingly of floral scented soap. At first I thought I must be having a sensory hallucination. Later I made a post on another cigar bulletin board about my experience and learned that it is not all that uncommon. I speculate that a roller had recently washed his/her hands or put lotion on them just before rolling the particular cigar. Have any of you experienced this?
n2advnture Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Van, I have had it happen 2 or 3 times, most recently on a RyJ Pet Pir. I alwayed assumed it was something I had to eat or drink before. It's definitely a weird phenom. when it does happen - I would rather have a plugged smoke than the soap smoke. ~M
1f1fan Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Yes, I experienced it with a plugged and soapy Monte D. :-( It has happened to me once before, but I can't remember what exact cigar. I think both cigars were very young (under 1 year from box date)
El Presidente Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 This time I will visit the R&J factory bathrooms and confiscate some soap. I will forward each of you a sample to review :-D

Ben Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I've been smoking for 13 years and I've never encountered this... Interesting.

Hope I never do. As a side note, I did find a lonely hair sticking out of my Monte Edmundo on Saturday when I clipped it. On the head of the cigar too...fitting.
waldo Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 » Have any of you experienced this? Never on a Habanos. I did have some Padron 2000s that tasted like soap once. Nasty.
