Yeah, the majority of the sticks in my humi are maduro, although strength is another consideration. I haven't really cared for anything too mild.
On the other end of the spectrum, I didn't really care for the CAO Italia, for example. I smoked a few a found them strong but not very flavorful. I think it's similar to the way I only enjoy spicy food up to the point that it becomes all about the heat. I can't enjoy food if my entire mouth is burning and I can't discern any layers of flavor.

I would continue to explore these as they seem to suit your tastes at the moment. From there you can venture out into other wrappers from the brands you like the most.

Perfectly sensible. I added your suggestions to my list. My UPS guy is gonna expect a Christmas bonus by the time I get done.

I just had a Short Story after dinner...I have prolly smoked 20 SS's in the last month...but my fave vitola is the Perfect Story, they are a little bit larger than the SS.
