Cigar Tasting Tips with Rick Rodriguez of CAO

[@stanbowers9651]

Thanks Rick, I reintruduced my self back to cigars a while back. Iwas a huge Rockey Patel lover of the leaf.That said i started smoking CAO cigars and listening to you on many video's and fell in love with all CAO cigars. Now seasoning around 6,000 CAO cigars in coolidoors 67 degrees and 67% RH for years they are remarkable, Rick thanks for all you do for the cigar world. Stan Bowers.....

Just starting with cigars and I have seen this advise many times. It's almost a kind of meditation

Rick your a non pretentious class act. Love the Bordeaux jacket with Peak lapels.

[@SgtG3]

I saw a Cuban guy doing this and I had no idea why. Glad I came across this video.

[@DannoCrutch]

Yep! I watch "reviewers" on youtube who don't let the smoke spend any time on the palate. They may taste something, but certainly not the "whole" experience the blender intended. They may love a cigar that they smoke more shallow, but I won't bank too much on their descriptions.

Same here

I have heard and tried this. It does actually work. I can taste different flavors sometimes. Other than just the peppery flavors I get a lot of. Gurkha War Pig has almost a chocolate flavor

Wish I would have seen this an hour ago before I lit this stick. Lol

[@mrcat3493]

I will have to try that. Rick is the man.

That's funny I actually hold my smoke in my mouth for a few seconds before release all the time, started on my own when I start smoking cigars.

[@Holtenstein]

It was night and day in terms of flavor after I learned to chew the smoke and retro-hale. Unfortunately, I am still a lightweight and have found few light bodied cigars I enjoy. The full-bodied cigar just tastes so much better. But man they kick my butt.

Steve Holt same here!

Try taking smaller draws. It may help.

[@kydd666]

i've never heard of this but i'm going to try it tonight

[@sctazer9682]

I've always done this a little more discreet by moving my tongue around same effect just no one can tell.
