Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but in my quest to try all kinds of different cigars, I have noticed that there are some very tasteless cigars, which I am to assume they are considered "mild" and then there are some very tasty cigars, like the flor de oliva camerron, that I am guessing to be medium bodied?
If that is the case, then I guess I am moving up from the mild to the medium bodied.
I've also noticed that alot of the mild ones have natural colored wrappers. Is this so?

Bear with me folks, I'm still learning. 😉

Dog gone it. It was supposed to say, some cigars "BLAND", not land.

The Maduro's are the stronger version of a smoke, when you have a choice between natural and maduro.

Be sure not to confuse strength with body. Madies are typically fuller body to me. But I've had plenty of stronger smokes with natural or sun grown wrappers. i.e., JDNA, or Opus X (not maduro, but very strong)

Along the lines of what Robby said: a cigar can be mild-bodied but still be very flavorful, although more subtle and delicate. As you move up in body (medium, full), typically the flavors become less subtle and delicate, and more intense and obvious. I don't think, personally, the wrapper has all that much to do with it, other than providing it's own distinct bit of taste to the cigar, i.e., I've smoked extremely full-bodied cigars with a natural wrapper, and conversely, very mild-bodied cigars with a maduro wrapper. Again, we get back to individual tastes. Just my thoughts.........
