[QUOTE="jj1015, post: 199276, member: 207"] That's fair. Most of the time people are referring to latakia strength when they rate them as light or strong, or at least the overall fullness of flavor (not saying that's absolutely how it should be graded, just saying that's kind of how those terms seem to have developed over the years for most smokers). That's why you see blends like Odyssey get routinely labeled as strong or full (it's usually considered a very heavy hitter) yet I've never detected any nicotine in it whatsoever. I wish that TR.com would make a separate category for nicotine strength! When it comes to English blends, that only ones I would categorize as higher than "light" are Abingdon, Nightcap. G&H Balkan Mixture, and Ten Russians. As much as I love English blends, they tend to be sorely lacking in Vitamin N. [/QUOTE]
