Recently Albert, a long time member, asked us: \u201cSometimes while smoking a familiar cigar, I sense more bitterness or other sensory impressions than usual, and I wonder if it\u2019s 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\u2019s senses vary? Is there a method to calibrate one\u2019s sense of taste and aroma just before having a smoke?\u201d  Some members of our panel discuss and reply to Albert's questions.
