Hi All;
I have been smoking a few years now but just recently began smoking more frequently maybe 4 times a week or so.
I was at the local shop the other day watching their nice flat panel and enjoying a Perdomo Champagne when an interesting movie began. The cigar was done but the movie was long so I ran into the humi and grabbed a RP Vintage 99 (white label one). When I first took a sniff of it before lighting I was instantly shocked by the intense flavors I could "smell" When I lit it it only got better I could easily disntiguish flavors and I thought I had found one of my new favorite cigars.
The next day I went back for another and this time ehnjoyed it but had no where near the same experience. I was wondering what caused this discrepancy and could not figure it out. Sorry for all the text, but the question is, Was the RP so flavorful because I had just finished a cigar a few minutes eariler that had some how made my mouth more sensitive or had I just gotten two differnt quality cigars in the same box?

If they're from the same box, its unlikely the cigars were so drastically different that you could taste it. I suppose there's variation in any box, so it is possible.

It is also likely that the second cigar tasted different because of the first one. If you have a cigar after anything else (food, wine, other cigars), the flavour you get is going to be an interplay of the previous taste and the current cigar.

Had you eaten recently before smoking the second? I know more about wines than gars right now, but the same rules apply to tasting.

Thanks Guys;

I had not eaten a thing just went staight after work. I think you are right about the taste being altered by the previous cigar. It might be the tastes were different that I more easily noticed the new ones.
