How Spicy/Full body is to much?

[Private Yesman]

Full body is too much if the flavor profile can't match up to it. If flavor can carry any balance to the strength, you can never have too much full body.

The Cain F and the JDN Antonio Dark Corojo are good examples since they practically are the two most full bodied cigars on the shelves. The F's flavor is overpowered by its strength. To me, that's too much. However, the Dark Corojo is more balanced therefore it isn't

I agree with this. When they sacrifice flavor for strength I draw the line. The same goes for a mild cigar; If it has a lot of flavor the strength means nothing to me.

I participated in a blind review last summer of what I later found out to be an Augusto Reyes Urban Robusto that went over the line for me in terms of spice. Pepper to be exact. I love full flavor, not a fan of nicotine or pepper. That's the only one that comes to mind that I just couldn't deal with.

Has anyone tried the Tat DD? That is supposed to be strong.

That is gross. Guess I'm glad I haven't had one. You guys ever try the Cain F? How is that?

The Cain F is a solid full-body cigar with what I consider a decent amount of pepper & spice. Like others mentioned its strength to flavor ratio is pretty high.

Its decent, but not one I'd smoke every day.

Strong for strong sake isn't fun or enjoyable to smoke. A cigar always needs to be balanced.
