I've always been intrigued by the constant stressing of how "mild" clear Havanas wanted to market themselves as. I don't think "mild" was understood to be the same as it is today. I think then it was more about lack of harshness than it was about being mild in flavor. I know Cuban puros of the day could certainly be harsh so perhaps this was just to contrast between puros and clear Havanas.
