With the exception of some cigars damaged by improper storage, I can't say that I've ever found pre-light aroma to be definitively indicative of an enjoyable cigar. I've smelled many dog rockets with wonderful pre-light aromas, and many good cigars that were just "meh" before lighting.
Unless I'm trying to figure out what tobaccos are in a cigar, I don't even smell them anymore.
