I know I am a little late to the conversation, but to an extent I agree with Aithos. IN THEORY, there shouldn't be a relationship between strength and flavor. But for many of the NC's, this is the case.

There aren't that many mild and flavorful sticks out there--at least in proportion to the medium and full sticks.

In the NC world, there seems to be a positive correlation between strength and flavor. You have exceptions here and there, and most of those exceptions have been posted---so take note LOL.

As much as I cannot stand Davidoff, they are worth a shot.

A good TRULY MILD stick (needs some rest) is Aurora's Leon Jimenes. They are extremely respectable cigars.

Now the CCs on the other hand....lalalalala
