    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.

    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!

    Man the Maduro Edge I think is better than the Corojo. In fact I may need to purchase another box soon. My only problem is I think these are only available as Toro's and Torpedos and I just don't have the 2 hours it takes me to really enjoy these.

    i agree. i smoked the maduro last night. taste a bit better. didn't burn as nicely, though. not a big difference, but noticable. didn't hold its ash very well. but overall better than the corojo
