I will confess: I'm an unredemable smoker. I probably smoke 25-40 cigarettes daily (please don't go all carcinogenic on me). Point is, when discussing beer tastes with friends, some argue that my smoking habit precludes me from savouring the subtler tastes in their favourite beers (which I sometimes am not quite enthusiastic about). The thing is, sometimes, when I approve of a particular beer, those who support it argue smoking doesn't quite inhibit my taste (someteimes they're even the same ones who argued otherwise a month ago), so, can excessive smoking inhibit your tasting ability to a point where your opinion should be disregarded? Because that might just be the end of my short-lived brewing endeavor, since my search for the perfect beer is only rivaled by my search of the perfect tobacco.
ASIDE: Incindentally, is there a way to infuse the subtle aromas of fine tobacco in beer without making it unbearably unpleasant? Thanks in advance¡
