I suppose there is likely a genetic underpinning to the issue.

But for me, it was definitely a learning process and it took me years to develop my own individual methodology. With both wine and cigars (and with Scotch and bourbon and basically anything involving complex flavors), you must learn to use your nose. I exhale cigar smoke through my nose (another thing you have to learn how to do ) all the time...that's how I can get things like vanilla and molasses and such from a cigar.
This probably explains why you enjoy Cuban cigars and I, on the other, don't. You are able to detect those subtle differences that come from the complexity of a fine Cuban.

But you've given me something to think about. I'm going to try and exhale out my nose more often. I'm assuming you don't exhale the entire "draw" of smoke, but a small portion. Is that correct?
