There's a great article regarding body, strength, flavor, and finish at:

Not a long read but pretty informative, I think.

Nice find Marty. That opened my eyes a bit as far as how I categorize cigars, I'm sure I'll think of them differently in the future.

good stuff I think what I here people even vets get mixed up on the most is body and strength they refer to body as how it affects you and that strength

Nice find. I frequently refer to a cigar's strength as "body," and should be more specific. Actually, a lot of people do the same thing here on this forum. It is nearly at the point where popular ccom culture has made the two words strength and body interchangeable.

in my opinion, they may as well be.
ive never had a bull bodied cigar that wasnt heavy on strength as well. they kind of go hand in hand. thats how you know you have a real powerhouse in your hands on the first puffs.
