Question on cedar drawers in a vino and cigar interaction.

I have had my ChasDen drawers for sometime now. The cigars have been in my vino with the ChasDens for around 2 years or so. Now, usually I'll take a smell from the foot of the cigar to get an idea on if it had any funky smells and then I'll cut or punch it. Then do a dry draw from it etc.

Now, what I'm wondering is, the cigars in the drawers all have a cedar-ish taste/smell pre-light. But the cigars I have in boxes/cabs do not have the distinct aroma/taste.

Could this throw off the cigar's taste profile etc? And the reason I'm asking that is because pretty much all the cigars I'll smoke I can only pick up floral notes, none of the chocolate, sweet etc (sticks that are not flavored, none of them in this house

) flavors that people talk about nor the ones I see on those flavor wheels ( I knot they are reference only ). Would this be due to my virgin palate? I do nasal exhale always, and I remember reading that this will only help to dial in the flavors more directly as well, but I still go back to the floral notes only..
