Training taste buds.

So I'm rapidly discovering I have the most uneducated palette ever. I keep trying to make out some flavors from the flavor wheel I have but I can't really find any of them, other than pepper. I was smoking a hdm reposado en cedros yesterday and couldn't even make out the cedar taste. I enjoy the smoke and I can tell when the flavors change during smoking they just don't seem to remind me of anything but tobacco and smoke.

Has anyone here gone from unable to make out the different tastes in a cigar to being decent at it? I'd like to be able to describe a cigar but it kinda feels like a case of "some people can and some can't" with me being the latter.
