Subjective Tastes

Not long ago my younger brother had the immense pleasure (trauma) of having twins. Recently they have started talking and I was asked a question that would make me think a whole new way about being subjective with the descriptions of a cigar. Oskar, that is my brothers little boys name, asked me to describe the colour purple because he was trying to find a crayon to color in a witches hat he had drawn. I tried to describe it and no matter how hard I was looking for comparisons to liken to purple I could not help using my own sense of what purple, was or using a mixture of other colors which seemed to confuse the little lad even more! It was then that it occurred to me that to a certain extent to be subjective in describing something is to be completely personal. For Oskar to make his own mind up about purple was the best way for him to get a grasp of what purple is. In the end he said "purple" is the color of uncle Richards eyes in the morning! Since then I try and remember what my nephew, Oskar, taught me when I describe a cigar to another person - Taste is subjective, only through personal experience can one develop an accurate and worthwhile description of a cigar! Experience is king!
