I really like that you included a darker-wrapped cigar. It serves as a reminder that a darker cigar doesn't always equal a stronger cigar.

Mellow cigars are still my go to. Ive been smoking for over 30 years and I still think mild to medium are the most enjoyable smokes. The whole pepper bombs and full bodied monster craze really hit the scene in popularity about 15 years ago I never truly got it. I mean if you love to smoke with a whiskey or bourbon then yes, a full bodied smoke makes sense because that alcohol will over power your palette and a mild to even medium bodied stick will get lost and you aren’t tasting tobacco, you are tasting the booze. But Ive never been a big drinker. Water, tea, soda is what I drink while smoking. Cigars were never meant to kick your ass so to speak. It’s about flavor and relaxation for me. Your picks on your list have been some of my go to’s for years. Consistency for decades. Anything Fuente makes either for Ashton, JC Newman or their own line are definitely the kings of mild to medium smokes. Diamond Crown Julius Caesar is one my favorites or the regular Diamond Crown. The Camacho Connecticut is also one my go to’s for a more affordable everyday smoke.

The Ashton Classic is one I tried on Mazz's recommendation (in another video) and man what a good cigar. Easily my favorite right now and one I think I'll always have in my humidor. The San Cristobal Elegancia is also a very good mild cigar (a little more spicy than the Ashton). I will definitely smoke my way through the rest of these. Das on St. Maartin has some good mild and mild to medium cigars that I really like. Just wish he had a storefront online.
