The Press-release claims these are mild-medium, and other BOTLs claim they are full or Med or just mild. Same with flavor. One thinks it's complex the other thinks it's one-dimensional. You can state you own opinion, but you can't refute another as completely wrong.
What's struck me, and, it seems, others, is the tenor of the remarks. There's plenty of room for disagreement here, and yor opinion of the cigar can be valuable to those of us who are curious about it.

Unfortunately, your tone seriously undermines the value of your contribution. Instead of telling someone they're wrong about a cigar's strength and complexity (see the post above that starts "Um, no.") You might have prefaced it by saying something like, "That's interesting. My experience was the opposite . . . .".

This is a lively but friendly community, and a little ordinary politeness goes a long way.
