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: wood, nut and leather notes and full, rich smoke.

Some say: dense fill, takes over an hour and can go out if left.
