Full, medium or mild cigars.

[habanohal]

This is something that I never really quite understood. What does it mean for a "full" cigar rather that "medium"?

I can differ somewhat of flavors and spice, but what is really the definition of "full"cigar?

To me the word full is associated with words like heavy, dense, thick, intense and sometimes strong, think lead. Light body cigars are delicate, airy, and not powerfull-feathers. Opus and Bolivar are full, Dominican Montecristo are light. I do think these qualities are subjective at times. Just look at the thread about the strongest Habanos and see the varying opinions.

I am sure Ken and the Pres. will wax eloquent on this.
