I think I might like even a light smoky nose and taste in a Mezcal. Having tried none of them, I'm open to suggestions on brands and varieties that are widely available and reasonably priced.
The smokiest ones I have tried still aren't Islay level stuff, but the smoke is still there are I like it.
A good bet is to buy anything from Del Maguey. They make a wide variety of mezcals all over the price range, label them accurately, and it is all straight forward honest non-fooled around with stuff.
