1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 We get questions from our members. Recently Albert, a long time member, asked us: “Sometimes while smoking a familiar cigar, I sense more bitterness or other sensory impressions than usual, and I wonder if it’s actually the cigar, or in fact I am off. I'm excluding any obvious source of prejudice like very bitter or spicy foods just before smoking. Do people’s senses vary? Is there a method to calibrate one’s sense of taste and aroma just before having a smoke?” Some members of our panel discuss and reply to Albert's questions.
