    Default Pronunciations?

    I dont speak spanish, and as most of the names in cigars are spanish I sometimes have difficulty figuring out how to say the names- and I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Is there a list anywhere that has a breakdown of how to say some of the names (or tell how to read them in general)?

    Do like me. Just pronounce "J" like "H", and then keep the cigar in your mouth while talking to cover up any other errors.
