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

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.
