We are thrilled to offer a fresh series of complimentary sensory learning experiences!
Our Consumer Tasting Groups offer both novice and seasoned cigar enthusiasts a chance to gauge their perceptions against those of fellow consumers. This unique opportunity not only enhances your awareness of differing opinions but also fosters a deeper understanding of the magic world of cigar appreciation.
Here is an extract from one of our past seminars aiming to explain what it means to substantiate the sensory characteristics of a cigar:
We began the Cigar Sense Virtual Seminars in April, 2020, with a series of live events involving the best in the field, all focused on the common thread of consumer learning to maximize the cigar experience. Thanks to all our guest speakers and to the members who gave us great feedback on these seminars.
