Today I lit up an Undercrown Flying Pig, sent to me by @sparky426 who was extremely generous with me in the Noobie Trade.

About halfway through the flavor changed to what I can only describe as "chemical" and all of the other flavors faded away or were masked by this new flavor.

I kept my cigars at 72%, and I smoke them slowly (80 minutes for this one), so I don't think I am smoking them too quickly and making it burn too hot.

I use a 9mm punch, but I didn't see any black sludge collected there.

Is it just palate fatigue? This was my 11th cigar, ever, so I'm still quite new to everything.
