Those new to the cigar world, particularly the CC world will hear old timers lament.

"I remember in the 80's and 90's that Cuban cigars were far fuller bodied"

"modern strains are nowhere near as good as those in the 80's"

"Everything today tastes generic, medium bodied and smokeable young"

 

The reality maybe that we are just getting old :D

The only tasting notes that we should be paying attention to are those who are aged below 4:cigar:

 

"Between the ages of 40 and 50, the number of taste buds decreases, and the rest begin to shrink, losing mass vital to their operation. After age 60, you may begin to lose the ability to distinguish the taste of sweet, salty, sour and bitter foods."

How dare you!  I may not be able to tell if my Fundadores has notes of Hazelnut vs Almond (I'm pretty sure I never could), but I can certainly taste those 4 basic flavors. 😁

Memory and smell/taste are intertwined; it is partly through memory/association that we recall smell and taste. 

What I did find interesting is that one of the side affects of alzheimer's disease is the progressive loss of taste and smell. 

So you are saying that memory/taste/smell are the second thing to go?  :rolleyes:

My last Vegueros had been so bland, it needed a very refined palate to truly appreciate it. 😂

so much for ‘Vegueros’ (relaunch that is)...

I knew there was a trick to this! So, long-term aging in empty laundry detergent boxes is probably not the way to go either?

Today’s music sucks as well. Along with a whole bunch of other stuff I’m too old to remember.
