It might affect the flavor a bit, although I've had many cigars that tasted better after a relight or two. As long as you are enjoying it, relight away.

I'd be more concerned with the reasons why that many relights were needed. Sure, some of them are mundane and ignorable, like you kept putting it down and letting it go out, for example: you were working on something that you needed both hands for and it wasn't practical to keep the cigar in your mouth the whole time; or others are unavoidable, like smoking in a high humidity climate, where the cigar will go out quickly no matter what you do. It's the ones where the cigar is too moist and keeps going out and is that due to your humidor, as this could be the tip of a bigger problem, that I would be more concerned with.
