So today when I got home from class, I was able to go out back with the wife to light up a cigar to unwind from the constant testing, I picked out a
"Carlos ToranO - Virtuoso"
from the cooler to enjoy, and ..well it was different, good mind you, but ..well different
(I really did like it ... and will buy more if I can)

the am I loosing it moment is that about every 6th or 7th draw I would get a "quick - zap" of .. what I can only describe as spearmint or some kind of "BAM" mint leaf zing
only for a quick second or two, and only maybe a dozen draws overall, and not once in a row on the draws ????

Am I just loosing it, or is this to be expected for this cigar ?? ...Pic below for reference...

    Never smoked a virtuoso but have this happen every now and then with other cigars. I'll pick up a real intense/distinct flavor for a handful of puffs and then it disappears and everything goes "back to normal"
    Never could figure out why....maybe I'm "losing it" too, bro. We can go to the loonie-bin together

    * I have a new address as of 3/24/18 *

    Well I guess as long as I'm not aware of "How or why" it happened I guess...?...
    maybe I shouldn't dig to deep into this, and just attribute it to the tobacco gods sending me a little smoking bonus :D

    hahaha... yes... good one. I'll have ot remember that next time with Morgan. "It's a little bonus from the tobacco gods... thats all bro..." LOL

    On a serious note though... yes, I've had that happen before. Can't recall which one, or what the flavor was, but it was a nice surprise and I bought a bunch of others based off that, only to find they didn't have it. Was the Casa Torano. Still a very good cigar now mind you.

    I had a stick that went completely tasteless for a bit of time in the middle, that was so weird.
