That's an interesting point. I wonder if the fact that I was a cigarette smoker when I got into cigars contributed to my preference for the stronger sticks.

Not sure about the preference part Jeff, but I know that the nicotine absorption from either dipping or smoking is a lot more than you get from smoking cigars. I have only had a couple cigars that made me a little nauseous and prolly only cause I smoked em early and hadn't had anything to eat.

Did anyone mention the 601 (Oscuro, I think?)... I found it to be one of the strongest I've smoked in addition to those.

I'm with you on this. Every time I smoke one, I think "I'm only gonna smoke it to the band." And then I end up nubbing the damn thing and having a hard time standing up. Not sure why, but they hit me harder than any of those on the list, except the Chisel.

The LFD DL deserves to be up there. One of the only sticks that can make me sit down.

The Camacho is pretty strong as well.

The 601 Green is stronger than the Blue IMO.

The San Cristobal is not strong at all.

The Oliva V is spicy but not terribly strong.

People may not like it but the facts are the facts... smoking 50+ rg powerful cigars is more manly than smoking floral slim panatelas.... that is just plain science...

Sorry for the vague definition!

I agree, this and the Partagas Black. I've smoked 3 of the 5 and I didn't know those were suppose to be strong. I'd rather smoke any of those 5 before smoking another Partagas Black, even though it's been a few years those always made me dizzy. The CAIN was strong but didn't make me dizzy might smoke another one of those. :ss

When using the word "strong" do you think the article is equating strong to taste or to nicotine strength. I like strong "tasting" cigars while I don't care for cigars High in nicotine content. Hell, if I want a lot of nicotine I'll go back to chain smokin cigs!:r

I'm with you on that Eric!

And I would have included the T110 too!

I guess I'm just missing it with the Partagas Black, I "never" thought it was anything more than "maybe" a medium bodied cigar!

....and lastly, I'm sure everyone noticed that list was done in February 2008, damn near two years ago now.
