[QUOTE="Bemused, post: 455522, member: 3832"] Agreed. Everyone has different tastebuds and people interpret flavor differently. There isn't really chocolate, leather, grass, coffee, raisins etc in the tobacco, it's just how someone perceives the flavors and compares them to what they know. Some people are good at this, some aren't (I'm not particularly good at it). Some people lie and exaggerate of course but some people really are good at picking out different flavors and referencing to stuff they know. Took me awhile to realize this, it's the same with wine, whisky, smoke etc. I read reviews but understand I'm probably not going to get the same out of it as someone else. As long as it tastes/smells good I enjoy myself. I do think it's fun to try sometimes to pick stuff out, often it's cumbersome and takes the fun out of it. Still though I enjoy something complex and good over something just good. Maybe I can only "identify" 2-3 "notes" but I can appreciate complexity and that is always interesting to me. The best tobacco, whisky etc is probably going to have some degree of complexity... But I'm not gonna be able to list everything I get out of it and that doesn't bother me. Anymore ;) [/QUOTE]
