Question for everyone...........does anyone ever feel like their palate is burnt out, for lack of a better phrase?

I notice with pipes, the flavor notes are a little harder to notice now, but cigars seem to be easier. Maybe it's the age on my cigars bringing out flavors more, I don't know. It's odd that they seem to have flipped. Cigars were way tougher to notice flavor notes and pipes were very easy.

Could just be a change in my palate overall too. I changed my diet a few years ago, and food definitely hits a bit different now. Maybe that's affecting cigars and pipes too.

I think our palates can change over time. Years ago I quit cigarettes--not because I was aching to quit but they just started to taste horrible. As to diet I think salt and sugar intake has an overall effect on my palate. I know consuming less salt and sugar makes those flavors much more pronounced.

I smoked cigarettes for probably 15 years. I quit them for the same reason as you. I only smoked them when I drank for several years, and then quit them totally. My palate definitely didn't like the taste anymore.

Lots of windshield time today, I should I have time for these 2.

1.5 hours each way to the bean processing plant & will likely be 3-4 hours in line.

Currently sitting 3/4 mile from the overflow parking, which usually takes 1.5 hours to cycle thru if the plant doesn’t have issues. Which is a daily occurrence.
