sinuses will kill a cigar taste in a heartbeat. My first experience with it was like 8 years ago. I had some sinus issues going on. I lit a good cigar and pitched it. After doing this with the 3rd cigar, I decided to quit and something was wrong with my humidor. I consulted in a friend and yes, he called me a BIG dummie for smoking a cigar with sinus problems. You will NEVER taste anything and they all were very harsh. I felt like an azz and thought I was an ELITIST.
