Though I doubt that the pH is the determining factor on whether a cigar tastes sour or not.

Which NC's are you smoking through?

Which CC's have you had? Vitola, marca and age?

IMO, In answering these two questions we can determine more closely to the "acidic" flavors you are getting.

Also, has your diet changed? How about you accompaning beverage (if there is one)?

There are a lot of factors that come about when discussing taste.
