Harrison, welcome to StogieChat. The Oliva G that CJ mentioned is awesome and a must try. Also, look into these: Macanudo Cru Royale, an H. Upmann (mild to med.), Romeo y Julietas are mild to medium, E.P. Carrillo has some nice mild to mediums, as does Padilla. Look for Connecticutt wrappers. Ask away.
Where about Cali are you?

Hi, and welcome from south central PA!
There are lots of cigars out there, and most have a unique flavor profile. If you're on the mild side, the Perdomo Lot 23 natural or maduro are both excellent smokes. Also, you could look into the Macanudo lines....many types to choose from. CAO has many lines as well, the Gold, Maduro and La Traviata (and La Traviata Maduro) and Padron series, are definitely in the solidly medium range, as is the Rocky Patel 1961, Royal Vintage, and connecticut lines. Nestor Miranda, 5 Vegas Gold and Gold Maduro are all great medium cigars. Rocky Patel Edge, Cain F, Cain 550 Maduro, 5 Vegas Cask Strength, CAO LX2 and MX2's are all full bodies. Most anything with a Habano wrapper, is going to be medium/full and spicy.
This is not a complete list....but should get ya started....
...moving along...nothing left to see here.

Welcome to the brotherhood. if you are just getting started, I would suggest going to one of the reputable cigar sites and start with some samplers. it will give you a good variety and if you don't care for one particular stick you don't have a lot invested. I personally like just about anything from Toranos. really like the "Masters" Blend. PDR's and for a cheap everyday kinda smoke. Quorums "Shades" are decent for the price at around 1.50 to 1.75 a stick if you buy them bundled. They are also a good cigar to give to your "Mooch" friends that haven't got a clue wether they are smoking a King Edward or a Cohiba.
