Sorry, but your friend is wrong. I don't care what kind of expert he says he is.. The current trend amongst many US. Cigar smokers is balls out strength and fullness. Ligero heavy smokes. In my opinion the majority of those of US smokers who enjoy Cubans, tend to be those who enjoy a more refined, medium profile. When Cubans become available, many smokers will not buy them, the allure will wear off and they will go back to smoking young opus x, and Cain ligero cigars. There are a select few brands however that I feel can and do hit a very nice balance of power and flavor. Some that even mimic the Cuban flavor profile.
