I'm dating & have met a new man. He said he didn't smoke. Smoking is a deal-breaker for me. Thing is, I have almost no sense of smell, I think I only have about 10% left, the other 90% has gone. I can't smell perfume if I spray myself, can't smell if the toilet needs cleaning etc. It's a pain. Anyway, so, the first time we kissed I could taste a faint something in his mouth, maybe metallic-ish? I wondered if he'd not brushed his teeth? But he was so well groomed I didn't think that was likely. I can't smell anything on his clothes. Next time we meet, we kiss again. This time I can definately taste there is something going on, so, what I'm asking is: What does a smokers kiss taste like? I have my suspicions because in one of his photos there was a bag of that loose tobacco on the table in front of him, but he says it wasn't his. So can anyone describe the taste to me? Without saying like licking an ashtray!

Could be coffee, alcohol if you were drinking or any number of things. Or he could be a smoker! You will need to introduce him to a mate and get them to sniff him 
Why exactly are you asking ............ if you don't enjoy kissing him does it matter if he is a smoker, marmite eater or has bad breath - surely you just don't want to kiss him ?
I can't imagine wanting to be with someone who wasn't pleasant to kiss 
. Or if you really like him just tell him you don't kiss.
