Will you overlook construction quality for taste? - Page 2

I'm still thinking about the tight, pretty ones.
If the construction causes burn problems it usually harms the flavor. If it doesn't harm the flavor, I don't care.

I'm 100% taste.

Heck, Padron standard line are some of my favorite NCs, and they ain't gonna win any beauty contest.

Flavor for me. As long as I don't have to fight too much with it.

flavor is important, however, that flavor is impacted by construction more than you may think.

how fast it burns, how even it burns, how tight the draw is, all make a difference on the flavor.

to me separating the two (flavor and construction) is impossible.

If it tastes good while burning, I'll overlook anything except a "watermelon through a garden hose" or "eating fire".

If it tastes bad while burning, I won't smoke it unless it was a gift and I'm smoking it right in front of the giver. I don't care what it costs, looks like, where it came from, any of that.

Life is too short to fight with cigars you aren't enjoying, so throw it away and grab something else.

I would take flavor over quality al long as I don't have constant burn issues. Then it's just a PITA.

This made me laugh.

I like the experience as a whole, so both play a major role. Of course if it looks and feels great but tastes like a turd, the experience goes out the window quickly.

Enjoy

With the Baccarats it was pretty much 1/5 chance of having a loose draw, but it didn't kill the enjoyment of the smoke. I can live with that if I eventually buy a box.

Today I had a Tatiana Mocha Stobona that was loose to the point that the head left little specs of tobaco in my mouth with almost every draw and the ash held less than 1/8" before blowing off from the force of the ceiling fan above. This kinda killed the enjoyment even though the chocolate and coffee flavors were enjoyable.
