Um, I'd offer the following:

1) Make sure you're taking your time lighting the cigar and not saturating it with lighter fumes / whatever.
2) Cigars, for me, are always a bit spicy and unique right after lighting up. I usually give it about 1/4 inch of burn before I even start to settle in on anything
3) Don't worry about it. Just note which cigars overall seem pleasurable to smoke, and vice versa
4) You could try a retrohale now and then to get some flavors out your nose (do a search)
5) There's at least one great post on this site for trying to get a handle on flavors of a cigar
6) Don't worry about it. Don't overthink what you're doing at this point. You'll get the hang of it.
7) Maybe for now think of cigars in terms of body / fullness / smoothness / harshness. Worry about unique flavors later.
8) Don't worry about it. Just relax and enjoy your smoke.

Most of all, number 8.
