What size are you?

VisionVision Posts: 7,852 ✭✭✭✭✭
So I was just outside smoking a MoW PA and was thinking about you sexy beasts and what sizes you like. Dirty and gross huh? Well lets hear it what sizes do you enjoy? I will start it off.....

1. Corona
2. Lancero/Lonsdale
3. Toro


I like the "thinner" sticks for the flavor and lenght of smoke. Toro if I am looking to "relax" for a while......

    I'm starting to get more into longies...

    I don't mind a bigger rg, although sometimes I find em hard to keep burning straight. Gimme a good Churchill, or maybe a lancero. Not too thin, cause I like tons of smoke and big puffs. There's just something cool about a 7" cigar to me

    But seriously, I generally prefer robustos and belicosos. Churchill in a few blends, Oval comes to mind.

    I love the smoke of the Lancero. Lots of smoke but not to much. Flavorful but not to over th top. I have had about 5-7 different blends and not a single one has let me down.

    my favorite vitola is the perfecto followed by the lonesdale then the corona then the toro. everything after that is all about the same. i dislike anything over 52 ring.

    The toro is my favorite vitola. I'd rather not smoke any figurados but I will if I must. I just don't care for the pointy-headed ones. I've encountered too many draw problems with figurados. After the toro comes the Churchill, corona, lonsdale, robusto.

    I like to keep to the smaller ring guages, but ill pull out a 60' when im around some noobs (they like that kinda thing in my experience) or if im showing off. My top 3-

    1. Corona
    2. Lancero (would probably be #1 but ive had way more coronas)
    3. Figurados i think part of it is the novelty of the shape.

    Corona or Beli, then toro or robo followed by lancero. A good lancero is hard to find IMO.

    I'm a sucker for a good dalia. I've found this to be my favorite size in Cuban cigars, examples being the Partagas 898, Fonseca #1, LGC MdO #2, PL Encantos. Just a brilliant vitola. I also love the minuto vitola such as Partagas Shorts, Trinidad Reyes, Tatuaje Verocu #5.

    I feel like there is merit to most standard vitolas, dependent on blend, though I'm not crazy about 60rg...then again, the Diesel d.6 and Ruination #2 are great examples of a 60 rg working well for a blend. I think a well executed double corona is a thing of beauty, Partagas Lusitanias remain one of the best cigars I've ever had.

    Robusto

    I prefer DC's or churchills. 46- 52 ring gauges. I had a Mario Palomino sampler and the churchill size definetley executed the flavors best.

    Must have 54-60 ring gauge but must not be shorter than 4.5 inch. I hate 4 inch sticks , seems like you've just lighted the stick and you're already minding your fingers from getting burned. I prefer 60 ring gauge.

    Corona, minuto or Petit Corona, robusto. I don't smoke very often more than 50 rg or longer than 6 inch, and despise the current fad of Americanism bigger is better 6 x 60 smokes. I want an enjoyable one hour smoke, don't have 3 hours to smoke (yes I'm a slow smoker).

    Petit coronas are slowly moving to the front as I've been slowly building a Cuban collection to match my NC's, and besides a short burn time its more affordable to spread out my collection with multiple blends and boxes in PC size. Party shorts, San cristobal El Principes, Ramon Allones small club coronas, Juan Lopez pet it coronas, there are so many great Cuban blends in this size I just wish NC companies would look and see regular smokers clearly favor corona slash robust and not fatty Bo batties.

    I enjoy the smaller rings myself:
    Corona, Lancero or Lonsdale, Churchill even a petite corona/pequenos when I am looking for something quicker than an average smoke would take. I prefer to say at a 50 ring or below.
