When it comes to smoking cigars, those who are in the know make sure that they have the best cigars and the best accessories for their pastime. They want to have the sharpest cutter so they can get a clean cut, they want to have the best torch lighters so they can get a good light every time, and they want to have the best humidor to keep their cigars fresh. They also want to have a great cigar with a taste they love. They are so adept at picking out the various flavors of tobacco, that they can even tell when blends of different size cigars in the same line have differences in taste.
The next time you use your butane lighter to fire up a cigar, see if you have the ability to detect differences in blend. With practice, this is something that you should be able to do.
What are the reasons that blends differ in taste depending on size, even though they are from a single line? The size itself is the primary reason. A smaller cigar is going to taste different from a larger cigar. When you have a larger cigar, you have more filler and less wrapper. This allows the full flavor of the cigar to come across. The smaller cigars that don't have as much of the filler are going to have a milder taste in most cases, even though it is from the same blend.
You can see the blends in cigars by cutting them and looking at them. You can use a large cigar and a small cigar so that you can see the blend inside. You will find that dark tobaccos are often used in the middle of the cigar and lighter colored tobaccos are used closer to where the tobacco meets the wrapper. You will be able to see that the blends might look similar, but the larger cigar is going to have more of each type of tobacco, thus imparting a fuller flavor in most cases.
When you find a blend that you like, you are going to want to stick to it. Remember that the size of the cigar is often a factor in how the cigar tastes. It can be fun to experiment with other blends as well so that you can expand your tastes. Try different sizes of the same blend as well. You might find that you prefer a larger cigar that gives you a full taste or you might want to have a smaller cigar. The more you experiment, the greater your knowledge of cigars will be.
