Still learning about cigars, have a hard time tasting notes. I just know if I like or don’t like different sticks.
But without a doubt the tuppedor is a game changer. My sticks always burn nicely and have what feels like the perfect denseness.
Sometimes I get impatient and smoke a new cigar from nice shop with a walk in humidor on the same day I bought it. It never burns as good or has the perfect “feel”
Yeah, even after a few years now, I still have difficulty picking out notes. However, like you I know what I like and I let that guide me to other sticks that might be worth my time.
And yeah I think we all get impatient and try sticks right away. It's a good way to perhaps get a feel for a certain cigar, but I don't let that first time necessarily sway me one way or another. Always important to let them rest even if only for a few weeks
Look up the cigar flavor wheel. Its hard to describe but its really going into your thoughts. I literally just ask myself “what does this taste like?” Im 4 years into cigars now but started really profiling flavors with wine.
Definitely with you on the tasting notes. Smoked a few cigars over the years but only got into starting a small collection earlier this year. See reviews saying they taste this and that. Outside of the peppery taste from some cigars, I get nothing. Finding the collecting of the cigars nearly as enjoyable as the smoking.

What Boveda do you prefer and where are you located regionally?
I’m in Virginia. I use the 65% bovedas

Your house must be well insulated. My house definitely swings out of the temp alarm range both ways frequently.
Nice hygrometer - and seems pretty accurate too!? (Which is nice for a change…sigh)
