Cigar descriptions are often like wine descriptions you can read them and hear rhapsodic words about the flavors and the notes but that doesn't necessarily mean that you taste them when you are puffing away. The Make Scents of Cigars kit contains six scents ( caramel, leather, oak moss, musk, pepper and damp earth) that are often used to describe cigars. The kit helps you refine your palate and differentiate the subtle flavor differences.
Cigar Aficionado found a kit that costs $20 but you can also get the kit online through
Make Scents of Wine (which makes kits for appreciating wine and coffee) for $35.
