The longer you spend in the world of premium hand rolled cigars, the sooner you’ll realize how many endless flavor profiles or tasting notes you can experience when smoking. For your more common flavor profiles, you’ll find cigars resembling spicy, sweet, and floral flavors. But today, we’re going to talk about one of the more outside the box tasting notes for cigars: earthy tasting notes.

So, what does an earthy cigar taste like?

Now, when comparing earthy tasting notes to more common tasting notes like sweet or spicy, there are a few things to keep in mind. Seeing as we normally eat things like pepper, cashews or chocolate, it can be much easier to identify certain flavor profiles to align with sweeter or spicier cigars.

When we’re covering the earthiness in a cigar, we’re more so referring to the aroma experienced, rather than the cigar actually tasting like fresh cut grass, a forest after a rainy morning, or dry hay. On their own, these tasting notes may not sound like the most enjoyable flavors to experience while smoking a cigar, but do keep in mind, when an earthy flavor fuses with other notes like cinnamon or espresso and more, you can one one complex and interesting cigar on your hands.

What gives a cigar earthy tasting notes or aromas?

Keep in mind, when we mention anything around the taste or smell of cigars, our senses are completely subjective, so what one smoker experiences versus another could be two completely different profiles.

Earthy tasting notes or aromas are normally more common in medium to full-bodied cigars, and can add a ton of depth and complexity to the cigar’s smoking experience. This earthiness is produced throughout the growing and harvesting process due to the tobacco having more exposure to the sun, therefore the tobacco retains an earthy complexity when compared to tobacco that’s spent less time under the sun.
