I'm new to cigars so I haven't really paid attention to the various strengths.  I believe all the cigars I've bought are between medium and medium-full.  I just thought I'd chime in and tell you my favorite smokes so far; hope you don't mind.

 

RP Vintage 90

RP Fusion

Padilla Miami

Gurkha Black Dragon Maduro (the smoothest thing I've smoked yet)
