I have been wondering for awhile now how many different flavor profiles can be found in cigars. And I dont mean the strawberry rockets from the local gas station either. Let's see if we can get a list going of familiar tastes that can be found in cigars.

1.) Woody
2.) Earthy
3.) Cedary
4.) Floral
5.)

:-) Great tasting wheel!
[Reply]

I think the wheel pretty well covers it.

Looks like the wheel put a stop to this thread...
[Reply]

Well, that answers my question. Thanks Patrick. :-)

What is the purpose of have the two sides different colors?
[Reply]

Nice! Now, as a noob, I'd be interested in seeing cigars mapped to the wheel. For instance, I'm a fan of the sweet, caramel and creamy wedges. It would be cool to look at the wheel and be able to pick out a couple cigars that fall into those areas.

I'm sure something like this exists somewhere. Anybody know of a good tool that can be used to map flavor preferences to cigars?

I've always had trouble identifying flavors in a cigar. I printed this out to use the next time I try a new cigar. This is a great chart. :-)

I think they are opposite sides of the spectrum. :-)

Great Thread!

I found this and some other interesting tidbits here.

Zinc eh? Gotta go take a multivitamin...

That tastes like Umami.

Umami! :-)

The wheel isn't very complete.
How about:
Grass
Burning Tire
Green Spray Paint
Brush Fire
Poop

The Wheel guy must be an eternal optomist. :-)
[Reply]

Poop? What about mummy dick? :-)
[Reply]

Aahhh, Cremosa :-)

What about foot, or toenail or burning toenail?
:-)
[Reply]

I think that just about nails it!
[Reply]

great wheel. I love sticks with the cocoa, espresso flavor profiles
[Reply]

What about "No pre-light scent" or "Just harsh"? :-)
[Reply]

I would think the mild-medium flavors are on the left side (yellow) and the med-full flavors are on the right side. (orange)
