I have noticed that I get a different flavor from cigars with different draws i.e. a light slow longer draw seems to always reveal a sweeter smoke and a more cedar draw on cigars like pepin black labels; however , a shorter draw in time (drawing the same amount of smoke) tends to be less sweet and more spicy than cedar. This technique also brings different flavors in other cigars as well.
Is there any specific way that one needs to smoke specific types of cigars to obtain optimal flavor? For example should you smoke a robusto faster (in ratio of drawing not time) than a corna or lancero and would style matter such as you should smoke maduros faster than claros?

You're over analyzing it. Optimal flavor to one person might not be the same for the next person. Just smoke it how you are comfortable;how it gives you the flavors that you find enjoyable and it doesn't burn all wonky. Eventually you'll figure out your own pattern and timing that yields the most enjoyment for you.
