Am I the only one who looked at the title of this thread and still have no idea what it says or means??
Flavor wheel? WTF?
So when I say a Victor Sinclair tastes like dog crap and someone else says it has popcorn and caramel, who is correct?
Flavor wheels are a gimmick.
I think the flavor wheel diagram could be useful as a means to illuminate the cigar smoker and introduce them to what may be possible to experience while smoking, but it's by no means a definitive method to search for cigars of a certain type. For example, I've had a Padilla Miami which had notes of peanut butter, and a Flores Conn Reserve Maduro with dark cherry and chocolate notes, and a FFOX Oro Oscuro with not just the nutty profile, but some cedar and rich liquor and toffee. If it wasn't for the flavor diagram, most folks would be like a ship at sea without a rudder, exclaiming "Mmmm, Gud?" and "No!...tastes like...something...can't place it...hrm..."
"Love is a dung heap, Betty and I am but a c.o.c.k. that climbs upon it to crow."
It is a crazy title ... and it seems that the flavor wheel is almost as crazy... though there Is clearly something to the relationships between flavor... objective data<<<subjective data
My neanderthal taste buds are not capable of picking up notes of this and nuances of that. I tend to lean on certain blenders that I like and go from there. And also, I've read that I should smoke whatever Nick smokes and that AJ be lends don't suck.

My flavor wheel only has about a half dozen flavors in it.

The answer to your question, Tony, is that you would be correct.
