[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 397140, member: 2403"] I review tobaccos over there, and I too try to tell it like it is. Simple things like sweetness, earthiness, bitterness, harshness, savory, spicy, bitey, etc. I try to keep away from the this stuff tastes like cheddar cheese, etc. Although sometimes a tobacco will have a remarkable likeness to food or drink and I will mention it. All said though, the most important thing is that you experience a tobacco for yourself. Period. Guys like Jim are invaluable because they smoke a lot and have a ton of experience with a multitude of tobaccos from various genres. Now I don't always agree with his reviews but he's a great example of the fact that nothing develops your taste for a pipe better than smoking a pipe. Experience is key. Smoke enough and you'll start to find that some of the blends that confound newer pipers might taste more interesting and present more compelling nuances to the initiated. That said, I don't think it's a matter of deadened senses as much as it is a matter of developing a palate for the deeper flavors that tobacco can present. Same rules apply to tasting beer, wine, bourbon, scotch, brandy, cheese, etc. Smoke, smoke, smoke.. Drink, drink, drink.. Eat, eat, eat.. :drunken: :P [/QUOTE]
