If your palate gets overwhelmed with a very harsh aftertaste and/or a burning sensation, then you may be smoking the stick too fast. If the ember gets too hot it will burn too quickly and too harsh. Rule of thumb is to take a strong puff of the cigar once every minute to keep it from overheating and to not overwhelm your taste buds.
That’s a general rule - some cigars I smoke faster, but always try to pace myself.
