I don't think that's odd at all Tony. A good visual inspection, smelling the foot and the wrapper, tasting the cold draw...all those are part of my pre-light ritual. Granted I don't do that with every cigar, but when a cigar is new to me, I try and get as thorough a feel for it as possible.
It takes a long time to really develop your Palate. And what you've had to eat, drink smoke that day will affect what you taste. Most of the time I can't detect all the flavors some people say they detect in a cigar. My thing is I either like it or I don't. And to me the inspection of a cigar is part of the enjoyment.
