    2. if you've personally smoked a J. L. Piedra you would know that they are indeed on the milder side. most experienced palates would tell you this. now im not bragging but ive smoked enough sticks to agree with this judgment. now if you're a beginner smoker then this mild cigar might be too strong for you for the meantime. but i wont insist that you go and say that this is a mild cigar even if you do find it strong. mine would be just a suggestion, just to guide you on what to generally expect from that smoke, from my perspective and no one else's.

    3. smoke what you like, whatever, wherever, whenever, however. it is your cigar and your experience.

    4. we're all BOTL. keep burning those damn stogies!

    peace!

    I've personally smoked quite a few Jose Piedras and find them strong. Many reference books such as MRN and "Cultivating a traditon of perfection" by Habanos SA rate Jose Piedras as "strong" cigars. Almost everyone I've ever conversed with agrees with this assessment of Jose Piedras.

    I did not say anyone was posting "wrong information" in this thread regarding their opinions on taste so you are misinterpreting my post. I was responding to Roham who is only posting his smart assed comments in an attempt to cause trouble ("smart assed" was his description of his posts in another thread, not mine).

    Again, the general consensus is that Jose Piedra are "strong" cigars even if a few of you find them mild.

    Question

    JRas,

    i am pure Filipino by blood. Lived here all my life. I am a software developer, and when i've had enough for the day, i dive into the world of cigars. Cubans are my favorite, and now im starting to branch into non-Cubans as well.

    How about you? your profile doesn't say much...
