need some nc recommendations

I love LFDs. If the Ligero Cabinets or the Double Ligeros are available, those are great. They've got a nice balance (for me) of body and strength: slightly peppery and with a nice semi-sweet tobacco flavor.

I second Don Fernando: if you want spice, go with the Don Pepins. Or even the 601s. Less spice, but nice all the same (the 601 Greens are nice if you can find them).
