I'm looking to some cigars that are considered floral, grassy, or somewhere in that range of the spectrum. Who has a suggestion for something to try?

Partagas Classic

Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Natural

What I consider to be grassy is not a good thing. Try any candela cigar. Felipe Gregorio candela comes to mind. Maybe I'm misitnerpreting grassy.

First one I thought of was the Davidoff Gran Cru as well. Personally, I think they're probably my least favorite Davidoff.

I had a CAO Black last weekend, and I though it was floral and grassy. Beforehand I had smoked a Padron 3000 and a Troya #36 perfecto which were both classic Nic med-full profiles, so there may have been some comparative influence.

I can only speak to CC's as I have never found what I consider to be floral in a NC. Not to say it's not out there for sure I just did not find it. Take a look here if you are interested in my thoughts on floral CC's. The suggestion list is from guys here who thought they might fill the "floral" profile. Anything other that I can help with please feel free to ask here of a PM. Best.

Not a NC, but I get pleasant grass and honey note from most Cohiba's.

When it comes to grassy notes, I either like 'em or I don't. Light notes are OK, but Grass in general... Blah.

I'd also try the Sumatra Taboo line. I get a lot of grassy/hay flavor and aroma from these when they are fresh off the truck. After a few months rest these flavors fade to the background.
