#1. No - not even remotely like a cigar.
#2. Yes - acquired taste. Also, more work than cigars, but much lower in cost for the tobacco.
#2. No - your fears are unfounded!
#3. Stay away from cheap aromatics. They are wet with PG and will steam your tongue. Good start is with mild English or Scottish styles that will not bite. These smoke cooler and are easier on the tongue. Virginias can bite if smoked too fast. You can get into other styles later.
Remember - quality tobaccos are of utmost importance - stay away from dimestore jarred junk. Wet tobacco is hard to light and requires many relights, which will result in tongue bite. Cheap aromatics are wet with propylene glycol and do not dry out - will steam your tongue.
Good luck
