    uh... Conojos translated to "with the eyes"

    i dont think thats a cigar.
    if you are talkin about the Tatuaje cigars then you are talking about "Cojonu"

    that is pronounced:

    coe - hoe- new

    and it roughly translates to "ballsy"

    Great idea for a thread. So is ligero pronounced lee-hair-o or lee-gair-o? I know the r is trilled, but that's not my issue. I've heard both. Usually it's the j that makes the h sound in Spanish and not the g so this one is confusing to me.

    As for the double l as in criollo or tortilla, it is almost always pronounced as an English y; tor-tee-ya and cree-o-yo. The double l is actually a separate letter in the Spanish alphabet and it is called elle, pronounced eh-ye.

    the r is not trilled . "R"s are not unless there are two of them. it is also considered another letter called "perro"

    ill-loozh-e-o-nay. I'm not good with pronunciation keys (I'm a math teacher, afterall), but I think this should give you the right idea.

    As much fun as this is, I wish we could just click on a "pronounce it" button and here it correctly. That would be a lot easier than this. I am sure that is not an easy task but someone somewhere must have it, right? Anyone found a link yet?

    I agree, and I was a linguistics major as an undergrad. Even if this were in the International Phonetic Alphabet, I suspect there'd still be disagreement on some of these.

    so someone needs to make a 10 second youtube video for each word, we could then click on the link. Kuzi is the best candidate for this.

    interestingly enough, if i cant figure it out i usually go on to youtube and search for it.
    for example I was having a difficult time with "Eiroa" (last name of Christian Eiroa, former camacho blender, current CLE blender.) I searched for "Eiroa" on youtube and found a few videos with interviews form whaqt i considered a reputable source.

    i learned its pronounced

    ear - oh - ah

    same with Behike

    most of the rest of them are just common topic of conversation at my local B&M and it just kinda sinks in.
