i'm somewhat new to cigar smoking and i have a pretty good grasp on all of it. One of my last questions would be the difference between full, medium and mild. Could anyone try to describe the difference between the three? thanks

you can have a full flavor cigar with a mild body.
make sense?
lets go back to the tea.
one dunk and you have mild flavor and body. let it all turn black from dunking it you have both.... this is with black tea.
if you use green tea then you will have mild body (less caffeinated and what not) but the flavor will still be strong.
NOW does it make sense?
what about Oolong tea.....For those medium lovers
This is true...usually a percentage of oxidization...where black is fully oxidized and green is barely if any oxidized.
Beta: try mixing black tea with white. It's tough to get the right mix and steep time is off because black is supposed to be steeped for much shorter time, but the white tends to take a bit of the edge of the black and add some natural sweetness to it. I go with a good ceylon and silver needle.
