Dickson, like many said, the main part is picking up the enjoyment you get from the smoke

Spice is very easy to distinguish. As for all those other things oh well what I have found so far only the better qality and pricy cigars have maybe 3-4 flavors that one can pick up. If you really want to try to pick up some flavors when you smoke I reccomend reading a review of the cigar first. A lot of online sites have reviews of what they sell and you see those tastes / flavors that the cigar has. Try to see if you follow the reviews and start with the easier things like coffee, spice, wood / cedar.

See what happens
