Nice, glad to hear you enjoyed it.
About what you're missing, ehhh, to each his own. This is a forum about cigars and noone is going to come down on you for making a thread with pics talking about how you enjoyed this cigar.
To really taste a cigar, you have to bring the smoke into your nose. Most tasting is actually done there instead of the mouth, whether it is food, cigars, etc.
For a fuller bodied cigar, exhaling nasally can be a bit much for a younger smoker, which is why I think you have heard start out milder and then in time work your way to a fuller bodied cigar. Probably, for someone just starting out, the smoke in the nose can be a bit much. But I say, cigars are meant to be enjoyed and should be smoked the way you enjoy them the most. For me, I enjoy finding the complexity of a cigar. Some cigars, I can taste the pepper just by taste alone. But to really discern the flavors, I have to exhale nasally.
Give it a try and with practice, I'm sure you will be able to find flavors you didn't notice before.
