Hey guys, I've been getting a bitter taste with my last few cigars, and all my attempts to fix the problem had led nowhere. I have searched the forum and tried everything, but no luck. Both of my hygrometers have checked out, I smoke slow, my cigars feel perfect and burn as even as it gets. Is something wrong with my taste buds or is there something I'm missing? I have a decent amount of cigars, and I hate to think their being ruined in my humidor.I've smoked 4 different cigars now with a bitter taste and it's becoming very frustrating.
I was just about to order more CC's too, but I guess it'll have to wait

Have you had a cold recently? I had a cold and not only did I have to wait for the cold to end, but a few days more for my sinuses to "get normal" again before I could smoke.
I have a brand new cold as of today. Thank goodness.

How far into the cigar does it become bitter? Is it bitter from the start?

I have used a tissue to blot away the nicotine, not luck. These 4 cigars were bitter from the start, but today I was smoking a RP Sungrown and about half way through it became very bitter. Maybe my cigars are too moist, I have no idea how, but maybe I'll let one dry out a little.

Try to smoke a cigar from a shop and see if it turns bitter. At least you will know whether it is being caused by storage issues.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll do that tomorrow.

It doesn't happen to me often, but it did tonight. Yuck! I was out walking the dog, so I did not have a cutter at hand. I blotted the danged thing again and again on my jeans, but I couldn't get rid of the bitterness. Finally just threw the cigar away in disgust (though I did manage to suffer through about 2/3 of it!)
