" some say Partagas Black is "strong for the sake of strength", or the Joya De Nic Ant 1970, same story, I like both of these smokes. They are both very strong, and some might say "harsh" .... I have some Bolivar Fuerte's which were along the same lines, very strong and considered harsh by some, I've had them coming up on two years, and quite a bit of the bite has gone from their bark. They're still strong, you're not going to age the kick out of a cigar like the ones mentioned here if they're properly humidified, but the edge does come off of them. And I particularly enjoy a good "strong" full-bodied cigar. As well as many medium body, smoother cigars."
These, IMO, are some good examples of "full-bodied", but not harsh, cigars ... like beauty being in the eye of the beholder, i guess full bodied and harsh are in the taste of the smoker ... good example too, of needing to know and understand the taste of someone whose recommendations you choose to follow ...
