I have been smoking cigars for quite awhile and have tasted all different types of brands and when I won a bid on C-Bid for Rocky Patel X-Outs Liga 'E' Toro Maduro I immediately took one out and smoked it this evening. To my surprise it had a metallic taste to it along with the typical RP flavor. I kept after it and the 'metal' taste never went away even down to the last 1/4 ( I hardly ever throw a cigar away ) and thought maybe one of my fillings in my back teeth was maybe giving me a problem. I use a new Xikar cutter and the cigars came in a bundle and I took the first one out ( cellaphane ) so there wasn't any chance for the cigar to be contaminated by any outside components like a cheap metal cutter, or having it in a metal tube, etc etc.
I took out another cigar and lit that up ( Sancho Panza Torpedo ) and it smoked great, no metal or any other taste except the great taste that I have always had with this cigar. My question is two-fold, has anyone else experienced this and if so what causes it? I haven't as yet smoked any other cigars from the auction of RP's but now I have my suspicions. I trust the gentlemen on here to give me an answer as there are some pretty intelligent brothers. Thanks in advance.
