Enjoying Your Cigar’s Flavor

[@brettsnowball]

Hi Dewayne, I just wanted to drop a note! Most people don't realize how difficult it is to speak and articulate on a topic for an 11 minute video - not to mention with no cuts or edits. You're doing a fantastic job with all these videos, and creating an online community around Dry Creek Wrangler School. You feel like an older father figure, talking about important life lessons and passing those along to the younger generation (like me!). Don't ever stop teaching - you're far too valuable of a resource for people like me. Thank you!

[@brettsnowball]

@@huss1205 That's now how his name is spelled. Check out the other videos/website, thanks!

[@davebrown4821]

Well said

[@magonzal70GONZO]

We’ll said! I especially love the cigar content

[@tuckmurphy941]

This dude wants to correct someone else on how to their name lol. He reads your whole post and his brain goes directly to trying to correct you to make himself feel better. He doesn’t comment on your positive outlook or anything along the lines of cigars, nope he sees an opportunity to belittle someone and goes directly for it. That’s the kind of ho-ness that you’re born with.

[@genemiller5687]

Very well put. I agree 100 per cent. I don’t usually taste all of the spices and stuff. I smoke a cigar and if I like it, I smoke it again.

[@Zubba67]

I had not thought of cigars until i stumbled onto your channel. I watched you smoke a cigar and discussed it. I thought “that looks good”. Then I recalled that a coworker gave me a humidor 12 years back when I was retiring. I rummaged around and found it. Then conditioned it and went to the local cigar store. I bought 2 Macanudo Cafe cigars. Later I barbecued some pork ribs and fries. Then later sat on my patio with my cigar and 2 fingers of Jack Daniels. What a great experience. Solitude, classical music, blue sky turning orange with the sunset and a thought of gratitude that you opened a door to a new experience. I won’t be anything but an occasional smoker but I will enjoy each experience like the first one.

[@DryCreekWranglerSchool]

That is pretty cool. I really enjoyed that story and it was an encouragement to me. Thank you for that.

[@bulba77]

thats what cigars is all about, enjoying life

[@Dstrbrdgrnd]

The Macanudo Hyde Park Cafe is my go to cigar👍

[@josephmartinez210]

Excellent I love it! I do quite the same 2 nights in the barn, I have a "spare" tack room I turned into my private getaway. I'm a classic country guy, but this here gets me with a good glass of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked and a Macanudo.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5axhIqQad1lkLc

[@thecapone45]

What a lovely story. Thanks for sharing that. I love when I can have some nice evenings to myself that come about half way close as nice as that sounds.

[@saukibasya]

It's not a cigar lesson, it's a life lesson. Thank you, Sir.

[@jjtygrys3570]

Thats 1000% True 😊

[@ruck27]

His videos and chats are poetry

[@pierreborjesson6584]

This was probably the best video on KZbin about cigars. And not just cigars, but life

[@tomv3146]

Looking forward to enjoying another stick and conversation with you.

[@DryCreekWranglerSchool]

I’ve missed you at the cigar lounge last two or three times I’ve been in. Hope you are doing well, I look forward to seeing you soon

[@stevesaka8191]

Dewayne - a friend of mine sent me a link to your Video saying you gave me a "Shout Out" - first off, thank you. And yes, you are 100% right, almost all cigar smokers can not identify individual flavors and it is not necessary in anyway whatsoever to be able to do so. Often times many of the people who do use overly descriptive terms are really parroting what others have said. As a lifelong tobacco buyer, blender, factory operator and brand owner, I can tell that those of us on the actual growing and manufacturing side do not typically use this type of terminology between ourselves when describing leaf or cigars, BUT we do when trying to explain experiences to consumers. Your coffee analogy was spot on btw. I use a very simple "rule of thumb" when working leaf and on cigars: Does it make my palate moist as I smoke it? Flavors I enjoy make me drool, flavors I don't make my mouth dry - so if a cigar doesn't make my palate moist, separate of all the other factors including "raisins and chocolate", ratings, other's advice it simply is not a good cigar for me. I just want to say "thank you" for sharing your enjoyment of fine handmade cigars with you audience. I think a lot of folks if they had the opportunity to be introduced to good cigars would find it a really great way to relax and add enjoyment to their lives. Forces you to slow down a little and appreciate life's blessings. ps: Yes, I know a lot about tobacco, but I don't know d*ck about horses. Guess I gotta browse some of these videos...

[@DryCreekWranglerSchool]

Steve - I’m honored to have you stop by and comment. Thank you. It is a tremendous validation for me that you concur with my own simple statements and opinions on this subject.

[@snail415]

Steve, it’s awesome to stumble across your comment here. I bought a Krakatoa for my brother to honor his graduation from college. Perhaps it was to remind him that savoring a victory isn’t a finish line…but the right victory is still worth properly savoring. Thank you for all you do.

[@Rosales79Diego]

If anyone ask why I smoke cigars, I will use your quote “Forces you to slow down” It really does, amid constant connectivity and information overload, taking a moment to slow down allows for introspection, mindfulness, and a break from the hustle. It promotes well-being, reduces stress, and enables a deeper appreciation of the present moment.

[@qgaming2221]

Keep doing more cigar content. I’m not into horses but I watch your videos for your personality and wisdom. I can relate more to your cigar content. Have a good day buddy.

[@rickytapp3990]

Well said Dwayne. I as well am a cigar smoker, and that’s how I came across your channel. I don’t pick up crazy flavors, but same as you I know what I like and don’t like. Please keep the cigar content coming!

[@backdoor5993]

That's a complete lesson for life! Enjoy what you enjoy, endure what you have to, and keep on keeping on.

[@johnnymetallica1039]

The Marlboro man didn’t die… he got better taste in tobacco

[@HenryYedd]

You are an absolute joy to listen to. Just wonderful. Thank you so much. 👍

[@caseygross7564]

Watching your videos convinced me to try cigars after quitting smoking cigarettes 10 years ago. I went to my local smoke shop and bought 3 cigars. Bought a cutter and torch lighter too, about 50 bucks. Your calmness and relaxed attitude in these videos made me think I would feel the same. I didn't. Thank you for helping me realize that smoking, anything, isn't my thing. I have from now on resolved to only enjoy things I like to do. Thank you Dwayne, I really enjoy watching your videos. Maybe one day I can visit you at your wrangler school

[@lyonsheartmusic]

It's more of a mindset than a feeling any substance can give you. For me I like the calming effect tobacco can give, but too much can elevate heart rate and blood pressure increasing anxiousness. Take a breather and relax. Only smoke when you're not doing anything. It's not for everybody though. I enjoy smoking but not cigarettes. It can be a nasty habit.

[@4star993]

​@@lyonsheartmusici can feel you. It can be like a bit of meditation.

[@mac11daddy6]

I’ve been a smoker since I was 9 years old I’m 34 now. Smoked my first Cigar at 10 years old. I’ve been off and on but I am addicted to cigarettes and I’m not proud of it at all. Cigars were always different for me and I only smoke them when I’m in the mood. Cigarettes will kill you Cigars will make you live longer. My Cuban grandfather puffed Habanos his whole life until he had to get a throat tumor cut out of his throat. He died at 98 years old. It’s all about what you enjoy as a man. Nothing in life is guaranteed so enjoy how your feeling in the moment cause tomorrow could be totally different

[@adamrocks19]

Definitely agree with you on this man. The picking out of every note within cigars along with whiskeys comes off as sort of pretentious. I enjoy a good quality cigar but I don’t over analyze every component within it. I relax and unwind after a long day with a nice stoogie to clear my mind.

[@craigbottomley9572]

Enjoy the way you explain the cigars and how you look at life . My good lady is in New York in vacation from the UK as we speak and have instructed her to get some cigars from over there on the advice of yourself. Charter oak , Partagus Black label . Looking forward to it . Keep the videos coming . Craig UK

[@jtford5951]

Thanks Dwayne. You are exactly right. I've been smoking cigars for over fifty years and I don't taste all the things I hear others talk about. Like you, I know what I like and just enjoy the experience.

[@wesiii5827]

Hi Dewayne, I am 75 years old and have been smoking cigars for about 20 years. I would say I am a casual smoker and have to smoke outside, so I am dependent on the weather. I have also listened to Cigars Daily and many other cigar channels and for years I have been struggling with tasting all the flavors the experts talk about. Thank you for your comments about knowing if you like a cigar or not. That is something I can identify with. Keep up the good work.

[@carolinawoods-n-water4392]

You hit the nail on the head! Count me in on the “good-not good” crowd. For me, Perdomo cigars are the bomb - excellent construction, excellent burn, excellent flavors & a top notch company & owner (not to mention, great prices!). Great video, as always, sir!

[@johnnyjacuzzi7498]

I follow zero cigar channels, nor do I know anything about ranching and horses, but after watching one cigar video I had to subscribe.

[@deedub760]

Thank you for making your cigar videos. You have awakend the cigar aficionado in me.

[@ThatCapnGeech]

I’m having my first cigar after a couple of years, I didn’t have much enjoyment from them, but then I watched your video from a couple months ago. You said, “take your time with it. Slow down, it’s about relaxation” Boy, what a change it made. There’s no heat in my mouth, no scorching, just great flavor. Thanks for the videos.

[@MrBearbait75]

Your one of the few, and I mean few, of the channels I watch that I click like before I watch! Can't agree with you more on everything you talk about. Always learn some things too! Glad things are going so well for the school and your family! Blessings.

[@geneenchase3553]

I agree

[@gastondeveaux3783]

Wow, the part about not measuring your success by other people's success, that was absolutely brilliant. Thanks !!!

[@harriscreekvalleyfarm9477]

There are only a handful of people in this world I enjoy listening to and you are one of them...thank you

[@VeneraBerens-df8cb]

GREETINGS SIR AS WOMAN WHOSE RECENTLY FOUND YOUR CHANNEL I MUST SAY I REALLY AM ENJOYING YOUR DISCUSSIONS ON FINDING THE RIGHT CIGARS FOR EACH PERSONS INDIVIDUAL TASTE AND HOW IT'S ABOUT DEVOTING A SMALL PORTION OF EACH DAY TO OUR OWN PERSONAL SPACE AND THOUGHTS I CAME FOR THE HORSES AS MY DAD WAS A HORSE MAN BEFORE HIS PASSING BUT I STAYED FOR YOUR VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS TY YOU BROUGHT BACK MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF MY DAD TO MY HEART HAVE A GREAT BLESSED WEEKEND SIR

[@anonemoose102]

why are you writing in all caps

[@purenatural5736]

These words are gold. I’m learning many things from you lately that I didn’t learn my whole life. Thank you very much kind sir. I feel so relaxed after listening to you.

[@darkpurplesky6660]

I don’t get a whole lot if any flavor from most cigars I’ve smoked. I don’t know what it is but for some reason it’s really satisfying and pleasurable to blow smoke out of your mouth. My favorite cigar so far is the Tatuaje Gran Cojonu. Big, thick, long, dark colored cigar. Try it!

[@williegibson2510]

Dwayne..... I tried my first cigar thanks to your video and i absolutely enjoyed it. All before I didn't understand the point of smoking a cigar after watching you I truly understand what it meant.... Slowing down, unwinding and just overall relaxing... Every weekend that I'm off now, I make a fire in my out door pit. Smoke my cigar over a glass of scotch and just enjoy natural. Thanks again.....

[@tmudflap10-4]

This is, I think the absolute best explanation on getting flavor out of a cigar that I think I've ever heard.....it takes years of smoking to develop a pallet, and until you do...just enjoy what you're puffing on that day....great video sir...thank you.

[@halfnorfolk5310]

Good advice! I love having a glass 🥃 of Southern Comfort with mine! For me, every Friday I relax with a nice cigar just to unwind, enjoy, and “meditate” in my own way! Great video!

[@nonsensespeaks]

Wow, the way he turned "enjoying a cigar flavor" into "enjoying a life's flavor" dude speaks better than most of my Ph.D. professors.

[@Anatomic6]

I really like this guy, I just got into cigars and was really intimidated but excited and this guy just makes me feel like I belong. Thank you!

[@stratdx]

I love this line of thinking. Guitars, beer, wine, coffee. I’m clueless when compared to the aficionados. It all comes down to good or bad for me. I appreciate you

[@cigarnews6152]

Your cigar content mixed with life lessons is the best on internet. Keep it up!

[@RustyTheGeek]

What a great rustic place to do a video. Love listening to this guy. Takes me back to my west Texas roots and some campfire sits.

[@rsetha01]

Do not judge your success based on someone else’s success. 100 percent, I needed this.

[@MeanderingMotoMonk]

Love this. I'm a good/not good guy myself, and it's good to hear someone who looks at it simplistically. Thanks for this, Dewayne

[@grasscutter1919]

I too have watched a number of videos about cigar culture and your videos are by far the easiest to relate to. I’m not a lounge smoker, I’m and outdoor, in nature, contemplative smoker. Thanks for the wonderful content.

[@RodWon]

Such wise, wise words to Live by!! It applies to life, not just cigars! Your words are so, so, so true! I'm so, so blessed to have found your wise videos! Take care, Sir!!

[@crazymadelyn9900]

Just had a Maduro my first cigar ever ..literally watched how to smoke one prior to it then stumbled towards your video..wow I feel great thanks sir

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

I know this video is old but I have been trying to catch up. You inspired me to smoke cigars over cigarettes. I bought 3 Montecristo Classic today and have been enjoying them with my macallan 12 year scotch today. Thank you Dewayne for all that you do. Hope all is well!

[@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240]

I get good! That is the best description for a cigar I've ever heard. Simply because that is exactly the way I explain it and exactly the reason I like a cigar.

[@Movie_Games]

I don't even smoke, but your video still made alot of sense for me involving coffee instead of cigars. Bought all these different beans that where supposed to have chocolate, raisins, or citrus, etc etc. I can't taste any of that. It's ether good or bitter and bad.

[@eric6064]

Damn you nailed it! “Don’t determine your success, based on the success of somebody else”!

[@bkitchings]

Right there with you Bro! Either I like it, or I don't. Enjoy your cigar videos!

[@johnnychafinjr.8664]

Perdomo habano is phenomenal the Sun grown is my favorite!

[@MrMarkota85]

So true!! Such an honest opion on smoking cigars! I find myself in the same boat as I've only started smoking cigars from Xmas 2023 and tried afew different brands and have found what I like and what I enjoy. All the best 👍 👌

[@ProjectEric2024]

Dwayne you are the real life Sam Elliot. Except your mustache is much better. If this don't get to the top of the comments then I'm doing something wrong. Best facial hair on KZbin.

[@adamstephen4665]

Sam Elliot is a real person.

[@ruck27]

Even better with the beard now

[@Fullchiselchainsawartistry]

You sir are a wise man! I wish I had a father that had your insight and simplicity, yet a way to translate your thoughts and wisdom.

[@jeffthompson8835]

Funny timing, I just tried one of those on Saturday. When I finished it I quickly shared with some friends that I have a new favorite cigar.

[@navarredr]

Thanks, Dwayne! I started the cigar hobby/lifestyle not too long ago. I like the lighter, 'beginner' cigars, myself. Some recommendations for those starting out: 1- Olivia Connecticut Reserve, 2 - 5 Vegas Gold, 3 - Rocky Patel Connecticut. Cheers!

[@highchurchpapi]

Rocky Patels are great!

[@Fish-153]

Oliva Connecticut Reserve ✔ ✔

[@bobbywilliamson6139]

This the most comprehensive explanation of smoking cigars I’ve heard so far,I thought it was something wrong with me because I didn’t get those flavor notes.Thank you sir for the education!!!👍🏿💯

[@nicolashaun8356]

I recently got into smoking cigars. And I've tried so hard to distinguish the flavors and thought I guess it just takes time. You just made my cigar experience more enjoyable. Thank you for taking the guess work out and showing me that it's OK to just enjoy what I enjoy.

[@fellowhuman8682]

Y'know this is actually really cool to hear someone else say this. With lots of stuff like whiskey, cigars, etc, I had legit the same kind of thought like "Wow I'm really unrefined, I can't pick the flavors out I just know that I like it!" Hahah! I guess people naturally expect the pinnacle from themselves when it takes time to be so experienced at something and I think thats a valuable lesson.

[@guitarplayer5611]

I have enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a humble, down to earth, practical, and honest manner.

[@DivineMasculine0101]

Much appreciated Brother! Respect from Southern AZ

[@garyt1950]

You are absolutely correct about about Richness and strength being two separate things. I remember I was TDY in Germany back about '''83 maybe '84 (i spent three years there from '79 to '82 at Ramstein AB) and the boss and I were dining on the economy for every meal because the rate at that time as running 3 Marks to a Dollar making it affordable. We would have a good meal then sit back and drink some Hennessey along with a good cappucino or maybe an Espresso. Now normal everyday coffee in Germany was what i would call strong. It was just strong and rich but that was two different things. I found out that back in the states that most Americans think Strong coffee is dumping a whole no. 10 can of Maxwell into the basket. Even though the espresso or cappucino was strong in Germany it had a beautiful rich flavor that made it enjoyable. Excuse me while I run down to the liquor store and buy another bottle of Hennessey to go with this cigar! Like you I cannot detect the little nuances in the cigars I smoke but I either enjoy it or I don't. but I do know I like a good Maduro, yet I can enjoy a Conneticut SHade grown wrapper on a good Dominican at times. Love an Arturo Fuente specially a Hemmingway Short Story but I also enjoy a good Bill Finck Travis Club Senator as well. I usually refer a good bodied Nicuragan with a Maduro Wrapper. Heck, they are all great cigars! Wish I had that Perdomo 6X60 you are smoking! But that's Okay! You enjoy it for me! Cold in the Hill country tonight, reminds me of the morning I woke up at 0600 in the morning out at the State Natural area out in Bandera and it was showing 4 degrees on the Thermometer on my Ford Truck!

[@opusand2]

Well said my friend. I started smoking a pipe 5 months ago and I hear the same thing about what other smokers get out of tobaccos. I’m realizing I need to like what I like and enjoy it. Thank you

[@akainex]

I’m showing this video to anyone who asks me about tasting cigar flavors. What a masterful video. And i’m saving this as a quote to remember: “It’s your cigar, it’s your time.” Beautifully said, sir, this is why I smoke cigars and why I subscribed to your channel!

[@OldAustria]

Sir, I’ve just discovered your channel today via one of those KZbin random recommendations. I’m loving it all! And here’s the thing: I’ve been retired since 2014 and have still not learned the real art of chilling and letting go and slowing down and just enjoying and counting the blessings in life. Some other time I’ll maybe tell you about how I got into cigars (still a novice), but you’re right when you say that they’re a great way to zone out and relax. Except your videos are now tutoring me in how to do it right and I’m so grateful to you for this. Now, this particular video has taught me something else and that is that I no longer need to feel ashamed or doubt myself because I don’t get the “toasted coconut, cedar wood, Ecuadorean roast chocolate, pine nuts, wild blackberries” or whatever that the big aficionados describe. I either enjoy it or I don’t. But now I know that that’s ok. Tell you what. I’m taking you (on my iPad) the next fine evening and I’m going to sit under the trees at the back of my house and light up a Por Larranaga, with a Scotch, and just enjoy a few of your chats. I love your wisdom and your homespun honesty. You’re great company. Thank you for all you’re doing. It’s greatly appreciated.

[@daltonpeewee2179]

This helped me out a lot I’ve been nitpicking and trying find the flavors but I like your point if you like it you do if you don’t you don’t

[@johnm4875]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! All I get is good or not good. And if it's good I love every minute of it.

[@yuval2248]

Dewane , how wonderful to be able to turn smoking a cigar into such a life lesson , really knocked me out🥰

[@tlaugeness]

Love your videos! People always ask me why i smoke cigars. . " How can you do that to your body, all that smoke!" Most people think it's the same as smoking a cigarette and it's not even close. I hate cigarettes. Cigarettes have dozens of harsh chemicals put in them and cigars are 100% natural and no harsh chemicals, plus you don't inhale. But the main reason i tell people why I enjoy cigars is because it forces me to stop and slow down for 45 minutes to an hour and just relax. Our lives now days is go-go-go, need to look at my phone, need to call this guy or text this gal, or run this errand, or this or that. Smoking a cigar is my meditation, and if you can do it around a fire with a good bourbon or scotch and with good company than brother your livin the high life!

[@slow6oh288]

The absolute epitome of a man. We need you and more like you!!!!!

[@mjheart94]

Dewayne you are way more discerning than Conan. As my Granddad used to say over his cigars, five minutes of relaxation is a life time of enjoyment. All the best to you and the school.

[@knowsbeans]

Thank you! You hit the nail on the head of how I feel when I smoke cigars! I think we just take it as a whole instead of diving it up into different notes. Love your videos please keep it up.

[@anthonynedelmanph.d.7311]

I’m relatively new to cigars and I really thought I was the only one. I had one stick I really loved and I wasn’t picking up on any of the flavors that others did. I really enjoyed it though. I needed to hear this !

[@velchuck]

Amen brother. For the longest time, I’d watch reviews on cigars, and wondered what I was doing wrong. Well, I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I have come to the same conclusion that you have come to. I either like the cigar, it taste good to me, or I don’t like it. I have found out that the mood I’m in, the people I’m smoking with, what I’m having with the cigar, all affects how much I enjoy that cigar. Hope I’m making sense. I really enjoy your videos and the way you look at life.

[@TheYellowFu]

Dewayne! I just got into cigars a month ago, having a great time and exactly to your point - I've been trying to get these flavors from cigar reviews. Love what you said about enjoying our own personal cigar experiences!! Happy smoking and life man.

[@alexdupuy4216]

You are one of my favorite KZbinrs to watch. Bryan Glenn with Cigar Obsession and yourself are tied for first. I enjoy watching him for his knowledge and enthusiasm with cigars, and I enjoy watching you for that and the wisdom you share. Please keep doing what you’re doing Mr. Dewayne. Thank you!

[@CosmoVlog]

The fact that he can carry on without stopping or any edits, is insane !! I need those skills.

[@cloutagious306]

also i find that i like to have my cigar in my mouth for even up to multiple hours before i light. and even after i've finished smoking the cigar to a nub, i'll carry it around in my mouth. it just has so much flavor and allows me to spend time enjoying the "richness" of the cigar.

[@highplainshollarhomestead3188]

[@wekeeptruckin]

love your content, especially your cigar chats! If you like Zippo I highly recommend the Vector Thunderbird inserts, the fuel storage is larger than the Zippo inserts. They also have one that looks just like an old school Zippo insert with the flint wheel and soft flame but uses butane instead of lighter fluid! Thats the one I got and its great, it can use the old Zippo flints which are replaceable.

[@shorty332]

Don't determine your success based on the success somebody else's!! Great quote

[@BeyondTheLeash]

Hi Dewayne, I’ve been following your channel since your first cigar video. Congrats on all of your success! I had a cigar with Nick Perdomo yesterday and sent him a link to this video. He was very pleased and honored that you enjoyed his cigars! I wouldn’t be surprised if he contacted you in the future. Keep up the great work and stay healthy! Scott

[@keithwinkler5871]

Good advice, I enjoy a cigar once in awhile and never could pick out all the flavors listed. All I knew was ones I like and ones I don’t care for, thanks.

[@garyhall5397]

Whenever I buy a new stick I always buy 2, In case I don't like it, could have to do with food, drink, etc. that day, so I try the second later. Or in case I do like it.

Did anyone else try to predict what his voice would sound like and after hearing the deep voice, felt relived that it matched what you expected? Lol

[@phogue1]

Great video! The analogy to Maxwell House ought to be standard watching for cigar smokers, especially those like me who after a few years are still developing their palate. I am definitely glad to hear someone say they group their cigars into “like/don’t like.” I can definitely pick up certain flavors, and there are cigars I used to not enjoy that I truly appreciate now.

[@kmr5559]

🎯 I was doing EXACTLY what you were saying until I realized I can’t distinguish all of those flavors. Then I went with like or dislike. My enjoyment increased immensely!

[@johannasselborn8435]

I love this video so much. I tried a Charter Oak recently and enjoyed it very much. Such a quality talk. Thank you.

And this definitely goes for pipe tobaccos as well. There are so many great pipe tobaccos I smoke and my pallet isn’t refined to give a detailed description but I know what I like. I can actually find a way to appreciate any pipe or cigar.

I am a brother that doesn't live in that Shangri-la of the acute palate. However I find that a distinct advantage, I never have worry that I'm not getting the "Burnt Rice Krispy" notes! thank God !! I'm either happy with a cigar or else just mildly disappointed, but never dissatisfied. 👍☘
