Cigar brand and model pronunciation?
Is there a list somewhere explaining how to pronounce different brands and model names? Since the majority of my cigar info comes from the internet, I just read it in my head and whatever I say sticks...not knowing if it's the correct pronunciation or not. So, I'd like to not make myself look like a dodo when I go to a B&M and ask for "xxxx" brand and butcher the name.

I think I've got Fuente down, but like C.A.O is it "C-A-O" or "Ciao?" Pa-drone or Padrawn (or spanish I couldn't spell out if I tried).

Thanks.

Your right that site is fun, ain't the WWW amazing.

I generally bow my head and and apologize ahead of time when I pronounce a brand or term I am not sure of. Or take the other tack..."Damnit why can't they all just speak American!"

Re: Cigar brand and model pronunciation?
lol, it's funny to see some of the anglicizations of the spanish, it's interesting to see how they sound to you guys. Not bad though, should be pretty helpful to those who are not familiar with the spanish language.

Haaaaa. You're right...I had more trouble reading the phonetics than the actual cigar names...I guess being Bi-lingual has finally paid off

Re: Cigar brand and model pronunciation?
Which is french for mediocre cut

This reminds me when I read The Hobbit and LOTR for the first time. I couldn't figure out how to pronounce 80% of the names.

Mediocre? I'll save that debate for another thread as I am sure you are a Palio guy.
