You are doing something wrong then. Buds ready to smoke if dried correctly, in 7-10 days. The curing process just helps lock in the moisture. That's it.

And further breakdown chlorophyll, enrichen terpenes, reduce or completly rid hay/grass smell, stronger effects, less chance of mold, smellier bud.

If it dried in THREE DAYS and smells like HAY, it's obvious what happened.

Buds harvested early will often be less dense and dry way to quickly which further adds to the flavor and smell issue. They also usually lack the depth of terpenes that properly ripened buds will.

Another variable is when did you trim them? Fresh or after they were dried? Trimming fresh will expose more chlorophyll and usually release more "hay" smell. Trimming fresh will also usually speed the drying process up which is not typically ideal, we want a slow dry for the best taste and smell.

The purpose of curing them is that not all the buds dry evenly, if you hang the whole plant you will notice that the bud doesn't dry at the same rate the bud that is closest to the top drys before the lower bud. So when you put it in a jar the moisture from the lower buds evens out with the dryness of the top buds and it makes for perfectly cured buds that smoke just right and yes it definitely does improve taste and smell. Otherwise you will have buds that are too dry and too wet and not nearly the terpenes that you're looking for.

Edit: it takes 5-10 days depending on season to dry shorter in winter longer in summer

No. Not at all. You obviously grow with chems if you dont know curing is about taste buds and cb receptors.

Curing has NOTHING to do with moisture.

I posted this pic the other day, so don't want to wear people out, but prober curing can't be under stated. I've learnt the hard way about the importance of proper curing like you. If you harvested at the right time, you've got to properly cure them. I did this and it works great for jar curing.
