Most of the content of my post with regard to body of the cigars was directly from the manufacturer's themselves and internet retailers. Again, the Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus Gold are a medium bodied cigar as listed on Famous-Smoke, CigarsInternational and just about any other retailer you can find.
My point here was that Drake asked for a list of full bodied cigars, I listed cigars that are classified as "full bodied" by the manufacturers and the retailers. Cigar Jack gave his list of cigars and many of them are not considered "full bodied" by most standards, never mind my personal opinions which I also included.

maybe i should've been a little more specific. i was actually asking for cigars you found to be strong or full bodied. especially you, cat. according to my taste buds, the oliva 'o' maduros are mild to medium. i found them to have a good flavor, but not enough of it.Originally Posted by CoventryCat86

Oh, okay I misunderstood. While the retailers call the Olivas "full bodied" you and I find them medium at best HOWEVER, I did a split of a box of these with a guy on CigarPass (the Oliva "O" Bolds, not the Maduros) and he said they damn near killed him

Geez man ease up...
I suggested cigars that I considered to the Medium to Full end of the cigar spectrum. These may not be knock you on you butt cigars but they do deliever a fairly bold flavor. He may like some he may not. I like most of these. Everyone has different tastes. Doesn't mean anyone is wrong. So chill out....

You "ease up"
I explained that I misunderstood his question which actually does not change the fact that you misclassified medium bodied cigars as full bodied. Don't get all pushed out of shape because I caught you posting wrong information.

i fell in love with this cigar last night.
its a rocky patel 'the edge' corojo torpedo. definitely full bodied. great construction, pretty even burn. very strong, but very smooth. and only $5 a piece. i picked up one corojo and one maduro. going to smoke the maduro tonight, i think.
the inside of the box said 'professional smokers only. smoke while sitting!' or something like that. i'm no pro, but that cigar was right up my alley!

I still think perception is a lot more reliable. I have found some cigars described by the manufacturer as full bodied that I would definitely disagree with according to my tastes. So with that in mind I can look at your tastes and try to guage from a stick we have both tried and see how close our opinion is of it, and use that to guage your suggestions. If you found a stick mild that I thought was more full, then I know right away your suggestions may be on the strong side of my tastes (just for example)...that was the point I saw out of that comment.
That's why personally I like when people post their reviews of a cigar with some sort of comment on flavor and fullness, rather than the thread we have going here with just a number rating. I think it gives you a better idea if the other member's tastes and helps when they are suggesting cigars to try.
