What is a good condom for oral sex?

Is there a particularly good condom that you can recommend for oral sex?
Personally speaking, I'm a bit of a Trojans fan. Whatever brand you prefer, just make sure you use an unlubricated condom to avoid the awful taste. You may also want to use one without the special reservoir tip, because that can make people gag during oral sex. Do a little searching and you can find flavored condoms as well. I find them a bit distracting while giving oral sex but some guys swear by them.
While on the topic of of condoms, the official word is that lubricants (whether on lubricated condoms or in bottles of lube) with nonoxynol-9 are officially bad news. It was once speculated the spermicide would kill HIV, researchers later determined that there wasn't enough to kill the sperm during sex. Furthermore, using nonoxynol-9 can actually cause the linings of the rectum to become irritated, thereby increasing the chances of HIV being transmitted. So toss out whatever "old-style" lube you have in your drawers, and pick up a few new bottles of lubes without the offending chemical.
