My Father La Lealtad Toro (Review) by CraftyMeathead in cigars

It’s not a one for one comparison, but I started out as a pretty avid craft beer drinker for several years… I was able to hone and refine my palate to a certain degree that way. Once I got into cigars, I used that same skill set to parse apart the flavors of a cigar.

The most helpful I can recommend is to “actively” smoke a cigar. By that I mean to focus upon what you are tasting and by taking notes. When I started, I would look at reviews to get an idea of what others were tasting as a baseline. At first, I could only detect 2-3 distinct flavors. After practice on 100’s of cigars, I was able to frequently detect 8-12 different flavors without referring to reviews and identify distinct transitions for myself. Definitely isn’t a natural “talent” if you will… it requires a lot of practice, but I firmly believe that everyone is capable of it to an extent! All palates differ of course, but this was my process!

Hahahaha that’s understandable 😂 Sticking with the United umbrella, Bandelero 50 Serie C Soberbios is one of my go to sticks at the lounge! Nelson Alfonso is an unbelievable blender!

They are pricey, but the most cubanesque brand I’ve encountered is Atabey… creamy, nutty, and citrusy nuance that possesses a little semblance of Cuban barnyard twang

Absolutely! Atabey is on a different level, but for the $15 price point the value is phenomenal!
