When it comes to smoking cigars, those who are in the know make sure that they have the best cigars and the best accessories for their pastime. They want to have the sharpest cutter so they can get a clean cut, they want to have the best torch lighters so they can get a good light every time, and they want to have the best humidor to keep their cigars fresh. They also want to have a great cigar with a taste they love. They are so adept at picking out the various flavors of tobacco, that they can even tell when blends of different size cigars in the same line have differences in taste.

The next time you use your butane lighter to fire up a cigar, see if you have the ability to detect differences in blend. With practice, this is something that you should be able to do.

What are the reasons that blends differ in taste depending on size, even though they are from a single line? The size itself is the primary reason. A smaller cigar is going to taste different from a larger cigar. When you have a larger cigar, you have more filler and less wrapper. This allows the full flavor of the cigar to come across. The smaller cigars that don't have as much of the filler are going to have a milder taste in most cases, even though it is from the same blend.

The more you smoke cigars, the better you will become at finding these differences. In some cases, you might even be able to spot the differences without even lighting the cigar. You can simply look at the blend and figure out how it will probably taste.

As your knowledge grows, you will find that you can tell the difference between the light and the dark tobaccos, and this will help you choose a cigar that you will enjoy. Take some time to experiment with different blends so that you can find the type of cigar that you like the best.
