Cigar aromas...

The sweetest tastes of a cigar are within the first 10 drags you take off it. After that, it rarely gets better. If it stays consistent to the end from there it's a very enjoyable experience and the smoker has a great deal to do with which way that experience goes.

I've actually found that some of the sweetest flavors are either mid-point or toward the end of sticks, I actually find cigars get better (for the most part) as they go, you tend to lose the spice and pepper after the first drags in my opinion, than again cigars are different for everyone, as long as you enjoy smoking what you're smoking that's all that matters.

I agree.
I am more intrigued by a complex cigar that changes flavors/profile as you smoke.

Huh??? Fine cigars usual change flavors throughout the smoke, you may need to change your sticks Mike...my .02. To me the 1st 10 drags are the worst, after that it should get better.

When smoking a cigar I haven't tried before I try not to even start forming an opinion until I'm >1/2" in.
