Rant and looking for insight.....

[Ashcan Bill]

For what it's worth, sometimes I think it depends on you just as much as the cigar. What your frame of mind is; what you may be drinking; what you've eaten; whether you're really concentrating on the cigar versus just smoking it; how much you've been smoking recently; whether your taste buds are having a good day or not.

Then you have all the variables associated with the cigar itself.

Keeps the experience interesting.
