Pronunciations?

**cls515** · 10-20-2005, 07:09 PM

as I posted earlier, the I in spanish is pronounced the same as the e in see. To be correct, Siglo is pronounced, see - glow. In Americanish, sig-lo is the pronunciation.

How about "Ligero"?

I visited Ybor City, FLA last month and met Felix of Tampa Cigar. Felix is a native Cuban.

Felilx pronouonces ligero "LI - YER - OH" almost like the spanish "J" pronounced as an English "H".

I have always thought it was a hard G as in "Gut".

Opinions?

I think that it's supposed to have a softer g sound, with mroe emphasis on the surrounding vowels, and maby his accent, you could just hardly hear it. Just my assumption.

What about Bohia?

I say, as long as it tastes good, who cares how to say it? (Or you could stick w/ the easy ones: Te-Amo, Punch, Rocky Patel, etc.)

Isn't Te-Amo actually pronounced something like tae-yamo? Reagan, I did the same thing with Padron for a while, I believe my wishlist on Cigar Pass still says "Pardon."

The one bad thing about smoking cigars is I have to know about all these different countries. I can't just call them all "Mexico" anymore.

I kid, I kid.
