Cigar Confucius covering how to reset your palate.

Hmmmm 

I can't say I'm buying much of what Jasim is selling on this one.

Who would've guessed that cold water was undesirable? Nah...I think I will continue to drink cold water! 😂

I heard the Canonazo is his favourite Fab5 cigar, clean palette or not, Shaggy is his favourite foot and also fashion inspiration.

But John…the cold water seals your tastebuds.

Who even IS this guy!? I have many, many thoughts, but let me keep them to his substantive comments. I just got done with a 6 week, intense, doctor supervised palate recovery protocol and some of what he’s saying is total noise but one thing makes sense. Acidic drinks or foods can temporarily inhibit palate sensitivity because they irritate taste buds in a way that can make subtle flavors hard to perceive. What I was told to do between cigars is to swish a solution of 1/4 teaspoon baking soda with 1C water. This apparently clears oils, helps reset PH balance, and leaves the palate less fatigued. 

But no cold water? Nah. Never heard of that little centerpiece of his monologue, lol.

Edit: Looked him up. Learned allllll I need to.

@LizardGizmo Talking of cold water, I’d like to know what’s become of the great experiment of running cigars under water for the Podcast.

It’s on the very long to-do list  thanks for the reminder - I will try to get it scheduled.

Is anyone ever going to big up any of this didactic nonsense? Until then no need to watch!

Deep Dive w/Jasim?

[Mike Mecklenburg]

For me I like Sorbet or Sherbet for palate cleaning between cigars and foods.

I don’t know if it would be informative, funny, insufferable, or (most likely) some combination.

What’s he like in person? Is this just internet schtick, a fully curated personality, or just genuine…eccentricity?

Agreed. I’d tip my hat. Instead of the track suit, he went with a fresh concept and decided to go full on dandy.
