It will really help you start to see what you like and dislike and you can compare that to the descriptions of the Wrapper/Binder/Filler so you can start to see what leaves bring what flavors. It can also help you find other cigars that you might like.

The discovery is half the fun!
So true!!

And IMO the environment (indoors vs outdoors) makes some difference.
On this note, smoking indoors alone vs smoking with folks who are smoking something different makes a difference too.
For me, there are a LOT of little nuances that affects the journey.
