I have heard that these thing will put you on your ass if your not careful. I have gone through a box and I would put these in the Med category. Maybe it's just me and I have been spoiled by other cigars like LFD, Opus, & Anejo's, but I didn't find the Cazadore even close to Full bodied.

I think there may be a misconception with non-cuban smokers between "full bodied" and "strength" (ie nicotine content) They won't knock you on your ass but they are full bodied. For the knock you on your ass factor, I'd recommend the Partagas 160th Anniversary (Habanos). They are killer ~Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult question to answer because of blend inconsisteny. You would need to try a cigar over time (different boxes, years, codes) and similarly try many others. I have had strong R&J Cazadores and medium bodied ones as well. They are in general on the fuller side of medium. I would rate the strongest cigars (in terms of body) ....as a rule...and to my palate: Partagas Serie De Connoisseur No 3 R&J Cazadores Cohiba Siglo No 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van55 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I tried the '06 PSD3 last week, and I would definitely put this among the fullest-bodied Cuban cigars I have smoked. Much of this might be attributed to the cigar's youth, but I think it has great aging potential based on this early sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COJ Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 » Oh yeah, now I remember. Here's what I wrote on another site. » » Here's what I wrote in response to a related query on another forum. » » 1. What exactly does body refer to, is it flavor, or strength of » smoke. » As far as I can tell, the industry uses the term "body" to denote a » blended property combining nicotine kick, mouthfeel, and flavor with a » bias toward the nic-kick component. Cigar smokers tend to use "body" more » commonly in reference to the mouthfeel component and reserve the term » "strength" to refer to the nic-kick. We also tend to break out "flavor" » into its own category. This was the point tigger was trying to make to you » and that you dismissed. IMO, the analogy he used was insightful and » relevant. » » 2. Does anyone else find these discrepancies on these ratings or am » I nuts? » Discrepancy in what ratings? Do you mean the discrepancy between » manufacturers' claims of the strength or body of a cigar and your » perception of these same cigars? If so, here's one of the more recent » examples of a discussion about this centered on the » Carlos » Torano Exodus 1959. The answer to the question phrased in this » manner is "yeah, it happens and the range of variation for any given cigar » can vary from near total agreement to something less." » » 3. Additionally what does strength refer to flavor or difficulty of » inhale? For those of you who don't inhale I am sure it happens occasionaly » accidently. » A very small percentage of cigar smokers inhale. I've heard numbers down » around 5% I'm not sure that either strength, flavor, or body has much to » do with irritation reactions upon accidental inhalation. I think that » harshness related to completeness of fermentation and tobacco quality is » far more pertinent here. I think jabba provided a link about this but it » looks like he might have edited it. » » So to summarize: » » A. The industry commonly collapses flavor, body, and strength into one » term, "body" and the primary connotation is in regards to "strength" » followed closely by "flavor." Some retailers/manufacturers use strength » (Holts) and others use body (JR Cigars). » » B. Smokers are more likely to separate the characteristics of flavor » (intensity of taste or aroma), body (heaviness or lightness of mouthfeel), » and strength (nicotine kick) although not all users use these terms in the » same sense contributing to the confusion so often encountered. » » Wilkey » » And here is a link to a well written little page on the topic: » Augenstein's » Site That was the best description of body I've ever read...THANKS! Thats exactly what I mean... Now...can we turn this tread back to cigars again :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
