A few questions on palate development

Taste and palate are always evolving. I use to link really strong big cigars, but now I like medium light to medium cigars mostly.

To me, it would seem like CC would be easier to enjoy than most NC's due to their easier smoking attributes and unique "twang".

For most dedicated CC lovers, they aren't smoking much else and when they do, the "unusual" flavors can have an "off" or "unexpectedness" to them. Not that it is bad, but we are creatures of habit.

With wine, I find even someone who's not into wine can tell a good one from a bad one when they are side by side.

Might I say I like your profile pic. I have a tricolor corgi too who is now 9 or 10 years old. He still looks and acts like he did as a puppy. Well, except that he's pretty fat.
The CC I picked up in Jamaica were from an upper end duty free. No reason to suspect they were counterfeit in this case. I did see "cuban cigars" in other places in Negril that were more likely to be counterfeit. In any case I just don't feel (from reading some other posts regarding NC and CC) that I've quite developed that palate to distinguish a CC from a non CC. Nor should this be an issue since I travel rarely to places where I'd run into them. I'm hoping to be able to enjoy some of the milder cigars for what they are. For now, I'm having a tough time appreciating them. But I suppose the search is the fun of it all - much like trying to have kids.
