The tobacco used. Tobacco from higher up on the plant (ligero in particular) has had more sun exposure and grows thicker and produces more nicotine. Tobacco from lower on the plant as well as shade-grown tobacco doesn't develop those defensive measures and produces less nicotine. That's why sun-grown and ligero cigars are much stronger than Connecticut shade cigars.
