I smoked my first regular V in the morning and thought it was a bit strong but the others I smoked we fine. Definitely fuller bodied but not overpowering. The Maduro V series I don't think was noticeably stronger, but I had it after a large meal of london broil and pasta so I may have had some padding.
Overall I would say they are the perfect strength for an evening smoke, enough to know your smoking but they don't turn me green.
