I think it's just the burn!

Some cigars taste better closer to the edge of burn problems than others.

to be clear, I think it varies from cigar to cigar. Some I can't tell any difference, others seem to gain.

It's another factor like age.

Humidity too high and the draw is tough and hard to keep it lit.

Over humidified sticks also seem to have less taste. - something along the lines of how a dry aged steak is better than a fresh cut steak. If it is too moist, the cigar has to overcome the excess moisture before the flavor profile comes through.

Temperature not as much of an issue as long as it does not get high enough to have a beetle hatch

Take a perfectly seasoned cigar and smoke it.

Yummy.

Now take that cigar and puff on it constantly for 5 minutes.

Yuck.

So humidity affects the taste by default, or indirectly through the improper burn.
