1 Dec 2023 - This episode delves into the intriguing relationship between saliva and the enjoyment of cigars. Have you ever found yourself smoking a cigar and suddenly feeling the need to spit? The episode explores this common experience, attributing it to the bitterness of the cigar taste and variations in saliva production among individuals. The hosts unfold the multifaceted role of saliva, not just as a catalyst for digestion but also as a safeguard for oral health, helping to maintain an optimal acid balance and protect against the less desirable elements found in tobacco. The discussion sheds light on the diversity of responses among cigar smokers, ranging from frequent spitting to minimal saliva production, and how different tobacco blends can influence these reactions.
During this episode, Austin is smoking the Navigator Pinzón by ADVentura Cigars. Caramel notes heighten this medium-strength robusto's spicy profile. Its Mexican San Andres wrapper cloaks an Indonesian Sumatra binder, and a Nicaraguan, Ecuadorian, and Dominican Republic filler. Dice is smoking the Avo Heritage Special. Avo Uvezian, a famous jazz musician, and cigar lover, and Hendrik Kelner, the cigar-making genius behind the Davidoff brand, worked together to create the elegant Avo Heritage Special cigar. Rich flavors of toasted nuts, cedar, oak, earthy chocolate, and white pepper provide a full-bodied experience that's so smooth it can be enjoyed by smokers of all experience levels.
