HUH?
Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Gold are medium bodied.
Carlos Torano Tribute 2004 are medium to full.
All the CAOs you listed are supposedly full bodied but they don't seem that way to me.
The Padrons that are NOT 1964 or 1926 are medium to full and have no where the kick, the complexity or body the 1926 or the 1964's (or the Millenniums) have.

The Partagas Black Label and The Edge by Rocky Patel as well as the Bahia are considered full bodied. The only one I've never tried are "The Edge" but I think the Partagas Black Label and the Bahia are nothing to write home about. Yes they are full bodied but I guess they just don't do it for me....

Definately the LFD Double Ligero, CAO MX2
I also gound the OPUS xXx to be strong..

Coventry highlights a great point on peoples perceptions and taste when it comes to cigars. What one person may think is a great cigar others may find it to be rather unpalatable. That would also be true when it cames to rating a cigar as mild, medium or bold.

Personally I found the Torano Exodus 1959 Gold to be medium to start and then about halfway through it became very rich and strong . . . I had to sit down

Apparently Coventry has a much higher tolerance for fuller bodied cigars so that ones that I or CigarJack would find to be strong he would only classify as medium.

It is a good thing we all do not like the same cigars . . . there would be no choices and you could not decide on which cigar to have given the particular meal, occasion or your mood.

Below are a couple links to some writings of Mark Twain on the subject of a person's personal tastes with regard to cigars that I really enjoyed. I hope you all find them enjoyable as well.

Most of the content of my post with regard to body of the cigars was directly from the manufacturer's themselves and internet retailers. Again, the Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus Gold are a medium bodied cigar as listed on Famous-Smoke, CigarsInternational and just about any other retailer you can find.

My point here was that Drake asked for a list of full bodied cigars, I listed cigars that are classified as "full bodied" by the manufacturers and the retailers. Cigar Jack gave his list of cigars and many of them are not considered "full bodied" by most standards, never mind my personal opinions which I also included.
