Strength here means nicotine, which mostly comes from the filler. Wrapper colour is not a strength guide. Cuban cigars generally can't be legally imported into the United States.

What smokers and critics say

Smokers like: earthy, nutty-sweet flavor and dense smoke.

Some say: overpriced for the flavor and uneven burn on some.
