026: A sensory session

The full meeting, held via Zoom with Claudio Sgroi and a number of Cigar Sense members, lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes. We kept what was most relevant for our audio audience. We talked about: - how you get from the tobacco compounds to the aromas, the 5 basic tastes and the tactile perceptions - how memory and other factors influence our cigar experience - cigar education and the need for a common lexicon to be adopted more widely - art in the master blender work, and the importance of how smokers perceive the cigar and a lot more. — This podcast is brought to you by Cigar Sense founders and paid members.
