Hi and welcome to another episode of Monday's with Mardo's. I'm Gerard and this week we're
going to talk about a question I get asked a lot it's a little annoying but I'm going to be nice
and we're going to talk about it because there's
actually ways to figure it out that question is
what does it taste like that's the most annoying
question but in all honesty there is such a thing
called the flavor wheel there are two things
in the flavor wheel that will assist you is you
have the flavors and then you also have the aroma how does the aroma actually assist you is because
what we can smell we cannot always
taste what the heck do I mean by that
when you taste something in your tongue you
have only four different taste buds right
you have sweet spicy sour and bitter however when
it comes to the nasal cavity I can pick up scents
that I can never taste so I can definitely smell
a flower but I can't really taste that same scent
in my mouth if I was to eat that flower so the flavor wheel takes two components you have the
aroma and you also have the flavor and then within
that uh contraption they are broken down to like
you have savory flavors you have sweet flavors
you have fruit flavors you have all sorts of
these other type of flavors I don't know exactly
by hand I'm not the biggest um you know cigar
flavor breakdown kind of connoisseur
when it comes to hints but
I do know what a Cameroon leaf tastes like I
do know what a Connecticut broadleaf opposed to
San Andre's maduro tastes like because I've
smoked a lot of cigars so when I smoke a cigar
and when people ask me what it tastes like be
careful what kind of answer you're going to get
from me because I'm going to tell you what kind
of tobaccos it tastes like but maybe sometimes
I can say yeah I do taste a little bit of dark
chocolate some coffee because these are very very
uh apparent flavors but do I taste like um i
don't know blueberry grown from chile I can't
really tell you that if it tastes like a blueberry
from chile some guys can they say they feel some
magic unicorn type of flavor come and whisk
the top of their tongue and fly away and never
come back chasing a dragon craziness out
there right that's why I can't stand that
question but there is truly uh some flavor wheel
and aroma wheels that you can download by and can
start writing down your own personal notes uh when
it comes to me when I smoke a cigar I'll tell you
it has Cameroon in it or not that's as far as I
can go so as boring this video is I hope it was
helpful so I'll see you guys next week remember if
you follow us on Instagram tell me in the comments
what you think of this video and uh what else am
