May be a dumb question, but I gotta ask

So, when people talk about how a cigar evolves from start to finish, I can understand the ratio between wrapper/binder/filler producing different flavor profiles between vitolas. When people talk about how a cigar evolves from start to finish, is there an explanation other than how much tobacco the smoke passes through before reaching your mouth when therefor no change in shape like seen in a figurado compared to a "straight" cigar?

I guess I've just never developed my palate in such a way that I can detect all of the perceived flavors when they use words like nuts, earthy, grassy, chocolate, etc. I obviously know whether I like the flavors or not, but that's about it.
