Why am I finding (almost) all cigars unenjoyable?

[Cigar_Addict]

So in my attempt to find some hearty YT content, I found a short which gave some tips on being able to enjoy/taste cigars. This evenings stick I tried one of their points on lighting it, so kept the jet flame far enough away that it was barely touching the cigar and it is quite a bit more enjoyable. Still not able to really taste particular flavours, but it is certainly less harsh.

Not an exact science as I think these Factory Smokes are a little inconsistent, but I'll be trying this with future smokes in the hope it bears fruit
