Sounds like tar buildup, often that will give you that feeling on the lips. Check the end of the cigar on a paper towel, if you see a dark brown stain, that is tar. Not a good thing. You can recut and purge(blow through the cigar), often this will reduce the buildup. It also has a very bitter taste.

This can often be reduced by smoking slower and not pulling as hard as you puff. But sometimes it happens for no apparent reason.
