connoisseurial qualities in favor of other factors. For those drawn by taste,
each brand and type of cigar carries different qualities of taste. Generally,
cigars with lighter colored wrappers are milder in flavor and have less of a
smoky aftertaste. Darker wrappers are typically richer in flavor, although the
specific flavors are not unique to any particular style or type of tobacco.

flavors observed, sizes, brands, etc. The qualities and characteristics of cigar
tasting are very similar to those of wine, Scotch, beer, cognacs and tequila.
