what am I looking for?

[ReV]

I'm not a big LFD of Fuente smoker so I can't help you much with recommendations based on your list, but, it looks like you stick to a very short list of brands. I'd say just branch out and start trying different brands. CAO makes quite a few in that Medium bodied range you seems to enjoy, Padilla does too, Rocky Patel, Torano, etc. I'd say just avoid maduros for a while until you figure out what you like and taste around. I hate to say this knowing your history with your local place, but a good way to start is just to walk into your B&M and ask what they suggest based on what you like.

... actually, have you done the newbie sampler yet? That might be a good way to taste around, jump in that and let the person you're dealing with know what kind of cigars you like.

the truth is that i have to look to you guys to give me advice, because i think all the old guys just tell me what they think i want to hear. most of the ones ive tried and hated have been suggested to me.( except the double ligero) most of the ones that are a little strong the guy has told me it was a mild smoke. there has been one guy that has not let me down. he suggested the premium line and a. Fuentes. but the others are somewhat unsure about which ones are mild. they act sure of what there saying but they are usually wrong.

If you are looking for mild smokes, I find these to be mild but flavorful.....now, the most important thing is I find them mild and flavorful....YMMV:
Fonseca and Fonseca Vintage
CAO Gold
5 Vegas Gold
Flor De Oliva Gold
Montecristo White
Gran Habano #1
Ashton
And you can always try a Macanudo.....mild without the pesky flavor.

I would highly suggest the newbie sampler.......explain what you want to whoever is helping you out, they'll set you up I'm sure.

one of the first cigars i had was the RP Connecticut and also the RyJ Reserva Real. Both are milder smokes, and i enjoyed em both.

This is in addition to what ashauler said. Of the ones I've smoked that he listed, they are all mild and flavorful sticks.
