Fun WLT Game!

[waikikigun]

Here's the game: find this "voldado" graphic on the WLT website. When you've found it, respond to this thread that you've found it, but don't tell where it is. For bonus points, say whether you agree that seco is the primary filler and that ligero is a condiment.

Found it. I agree with your statement that the graphic shows Seco as the primary filler and that the graphic shows ligero as the condiment. See what I did there?

Nice job on the find! Bonus points for being first. No bonus points on the other thing.

Ha! What an amusing challenge.

Found it. I agree based on what the intention of the statement is. I believe the intention is to state that generally more seco is used than ligero.

But if I wanted to be a lawyer, I would disagree because the condiment statement implies that it is not necessary. As far as I know, a cigar really should contain seco, viso, and ligero, so although you might use more seco, they are all primary.

But then again... There are no rules. I've certainly rolled cigars with just viso and seco. And I've rolled good cigarillos with just ligero.

End of the day, it's a good rule of thumb to start with for the type of person who needs to look at that chart in the first place.

If I wanted to be a chef, I would insist that chili powder is always a condiment, even when making a pot of "chili".

P.S. I'm not sure, but I may have written those labels, when asked to comment on the original graphic, prior to its being buried on the WLT site. So I might be biased about the veracity and implications of its generalization. Now that one commercial cigar costs as much as a whole box used to cost, consumers of commercial cigars smoke fewer of them, and seem to want each one of them to be unconscionably strong. But that's just the opinion of an old fart.

Did you find it?

Did you find it?

I can't find my pants till I've had my morning coffee. But it sure is good to see Knucklehead here again. Welcome back my friend.

 

[Alpine]

Yep, welcome back Knuks!

Found it! Also, not sure what is meant by a condiment - I tend to use Ligero more as a "center of the structure" when bunching, something that, once lit, takes longer to go out and holds the ash to the stick better.

Nice job! Was it hard to find?

Someone spelled volado wrong.

Correct. Thus, the "Find The Voldado Graphic" game.

Not particularly, took me all of about 15 seconds with the Goog But I may have an advantage most don't, being a web developer and knowing how to find resources in a website.

 

[MarcL]

... "Find The Voldado Graphic" ...

That sounds like a more "fun" title for a game. .. or maybe even, "Where's Voldado".

Darn. I guess you get full credit since I didn't specify "no haxory developer trickery."

But there are 47 words there. So the developador still gets a grade of 97.9% for spelling. (And members of this forum conspicuously have no moral authority on the subject of spelling. Sorry guys.)

As for ease of locating the graphic, I think it's relatively easy if you are told that it exists, but I would guess that most visitors or customers never have that joy. Probably a "Resources" menu item might be a more likely place to find such info, rather than replicated a gazillion times for each leaf offering.

That's why you get full credit on good intention alone Bob.

Bob

You have it replicated a gazillion times? It is in only one specific location for me. I checked. It is in none of the similar locations relating to other things in the same class of things.... that is why I thought it might be a bit tricky to find. One could look in the many seemingly identical locations and, not finding it, skip over the unique place that it is.

 

[MarcL]

As interesting as haxory and, trickery brings full credit, some may just not be interested.
I myself, want to hear what the "correct" graphic should read according to the experts.
