The thin sipping straw allows the concoction to slow envelop your tongue, letting the flavors dance on it. Drinking Polynesian cocktails from a regular party straw FLOODS your mouth with fluid, and fills it so you must gulp down. That's how I like to drink my beer, but not multilayered tropical cocktails. To me it's like the difference between dashing on a few drops of perfume or dowsing yourself in it: The aroma unfolds in a subtle manner, and does not knock you over the head. I bet that subjective view has to do with early childhood experiences, and how one was nursed... :)
