The different steps for using the 60 Shades of Cigars notebook

• The first step is to note some essential information about the cigar's origin, its brand, its characteristics, dimensions, as well as the time of your tasting. This is followed by the "A Cru" tasting stage of the cigar, where you will note your impressions before lighting regarding the smell, draw, and flavors.
• The following three stages correspond to the impressions felt at each third of the cigar. You will find the details in the first third of the tasting, from the first puff to the draw, including the flavors, aromas, and multiple sensations. The continuation of the tasting is also reflected by detailed note-taking in the second and third thirds. Again, here you will take notes on the flavors experienced, the aromas, the burning speed, but also the color of the ash.
• To close the sheet, you will write a summary conclusion with the final rating of the cigar, its strengths, its weaknesses, as well as a space to keep its band. Two diagrams at the bottom of the page, the aroma meter and the wheel called 'Draw me a cigar,' will allow you to visualize at a glance the personality and character of the cigar you have just tasted.

Amateurs and aficionados will therefore find a true personal accessory, retracing the behind-the-scenes and memories of a cigar tasting. Discover in pictures some of the detailed tasting notes of cigars.
