Strength, flavor, body. What is the difference?

Could someone give an example of a mild cigar that is a flavor bomb? I love full flavored/full bodied cigars but always thought I needed to smoke medium-full to full strength cigars to get full flavor.

While separate things, they do tend to run together. It's not often you'll find a cigar that's full flavored, but mild in strength.

It bothers me to no end that the major big-box retailers constantly intermix these terms when describing cigars. It would be nice to see some standardization regarding the use of these terms.

I find that you can get this in some of the Davidoffs, AVO, Ashton and Fuente lines. Some amazing flavors that you can smoke on an empty stomach or in 90 degree heat without the nicotine crippling you. Just remember that what may be mild to one may be pretty strong to another.

BTW That is not a complete list of mild, full flavored cigars but just the lines that popped into my head. If you want to see this in all of it's glory then look into the world of Havanas.

Yeah, just got in my first few boxes of CCs this past few weeks for that reason. But tried one from each box and they are not ready for prime time, so now the waiting begins. Have smoked a lot of Fuentes but they seem to be on the stronger side. I'm OK with strong/full-flavored, but thought it would be interesting to try a full-flavored mild cigar because I've not found one yet.
