Just out of curiosity what have you been smoking lately that you have been experiencing this with as this should not be the norm clear across the board for most sticks unless of course your just smoking real spice bombs lately. How long have you been smoking cigars? Are you fairly new to smoking? Just asking because I could see if your fairly new to smoking maybe your palette just needs time to adjust to smoking cigars and maybe that is why smokes seem to be harsh at the beginning for you. Figured I would ask some different questions as it seems like your doing everything else right and really trying to think what else could be causing this for you.
