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: smooth, creamy, mild-medium, cedar and leather notes and good construction and burn.

Some say: light for experienced smokers and wrapper trouble on some.
