What cigars are you finding this nasty harshness in? It may be that your palate is getting used to the smoke, but it might also just be that the cigars you are smoking simply taste bad. It took me a while as a newb to realize, wow, not all cigars taste sour and nasty, some of these things are delicious! A lot of NC cigars simply don't have any good flavor to them, so you might be looking for something that isn't there. The key is taking recommendations from knowledgeable BOTLs and trying a wide variety. You WILL find cigars that you like, and in which you can pick up interesting flavors, but it will take time and experimentation to find out what you look for in a cigar.
