Favorite Vitola

[emopunker2004]

So, I've come to the conclusion that my overall favorite vitola is a corona. Not sure why exactly, I just find myself gravitating toward this particular size more often. So, what's you favorite vitola?

[Lumpold]

Lancero, followed swiftly by figurado :tu

[Patrick B]

Corona here, too. Best flavor of almost any blend I like. Tatuaje Noella comes to mind as a great example of this.

[mariogolbee]

It's hard for me to zero in on one. I'd say depending on how much time I have either pc, robusto, toro or lancero.

[Bunker]

It is more of a ring gauge thing for me with 42-48 being the sweet-spot.

My current favorite smoke is the Tatuaje Havana Cazadore.

There was a time that I didn't like anything south of 50 in ring gauge, but then I realized it was just because I was smoking lousy cigars.

As I moved up towards the top shelf I realized I enjoy the smaller ring gauges much more

[dannyboy]

I find myself smoking mostly robustos, but love a good figurado. I also tend to enjoy corona, petite corona, corona gorda, lancero, dalias. Hell, if it tastes good I smoke it, just not much north of about 50 rg, preferable in the mid 40's.

[quantim0]

Somewhat in order: corona gorda, corona, bellicoso, lonsdale, petite corona, lancero

[thecatch83]

Corona and Figurado for sure. I've been smoking alot of Tat Hermosos and Noellas...something about the 42-46 ring gauge that I prefer. I can't remember the last time I had a churchill size or anything over 7 inches other than an Anejo #48 which was delicious.

[kelmac07]

Belicoso, Robusto, Toro, Corona...in that order. Just learning to SLOW DOWN and enjoy lanceros.

[lbowles2]

I love me a good corona. Like others said I don't really like em too far north of 50 rg.

[MurphysLaw]

If I had to pick a favorite I'd probably go with corona as well, and I rarely buy anything above a 50rg.

[RevSmoke]

Just one size? Pick just one? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Depending on day, how much time I have, what flavor I am looking for, what mood I am in, who I am with, whether I am outside in the wind or not, what did I just eat, what am I drinking, etc...

It might be:
Petite Corona
Robusto
Double toro
Churchill
Toro
Lancero
Panatela
et...

Whatever is in my humidor is one of my favorites.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[SteveH]

Bellicoso and Lonsdales. I've really started to get into some of the smaller RG stuff; trying to understand wrapper differences better.

[kickerb]

perfecto, toro, and then corona

[Frodo]

I'd have to say lonsdale but they are rarely sold on the resale market...

[Trent0341]

I find myself smoking mostly robustos, but love a good figurado. I also tend to enjoy corona, petite corona, corona gorda, lancero, dalias. Hell, if it tastes good I smoke it, just not much north of about 50 rg, preferable in the mid 40's.

I couldn't word it much better myself. I always seem to gravitate towards the robust size but I'm not one to limit myself :D. Not a huge fan of this new huge RG trend. Not sure why everyone wants to stick something that size in their mouth... just saying'

[Skywalker]

It depends on the cigar and the moment. If I'm going to watch a two hour movie then a nice churchill works best.

If I'm in it for the flavor and complexity of the cigar a nice lancero or corona works for me.:2

[icehog3]

No love for the mareva? :lv

[cobra03]

Anything under 50 RG unless its a belicoso

[Dunkel]

Robusto, Corona Gorda, Toro ,Belicoso and Corona in that order. Can't understand why Lanceros are so popular, but different strokes I reckon.

[BryanB]

I prefer a corona gorda. Max I'll smoke is 7 inches and a 54 ring.

Depends on the cigar. Some cigars/blends I prefer in a narrower/smaller format, others, a larger format.

[pektel]

This. My favorite size, hands down. Love the smoke time. Love the price.

[NCRadioMan]

Can't understand why Lanceros are so popular, but different strokes I reckon.

Flavor. I get more flavor out of a lancero than most other sizes. Lots more wrapper flavor and the core blend itself is more concentrated in a lancero with less useless filler for more flavor.

Depends on the blend. There is always one vitola that is perfect for a blend and, to me, it's rarely anything larger than 6x50 toro and it's usually the smaller rg formats.

I prefer;
lanceros
coronas
petite coronas
lonsdales
dalias
marevas

Late to the party, but much love for the Mareva. Minuto's and Perla's too. Those are favorites, not to say Campanas and Piramides don't get some of my time.

[CasaDooley]

My favorites sizes tend to be in the PC, Lancero and Robusto range as these are the vitolas I tend to buy the most of, but, I like em all really. :ss

[CRIMPS]

Lancero
Corona
Petite Corona

I started liking the Torpedo... But, starting seeing it as a gimmick

[audio1der]

I'm torn between lonsdales and laguitos.

[tx_tuff]

I love Corona but I find myself smoking more Robusto size then anything else.

[Adriftpanda]

pc for both nc and cc

Same here, those are my top 3 in no particular order.

[SvilleKid]

Lancero, followed swiftly by figurado :tu

[ArgusP2]

I'm finding that I tend to gravitate towards the robusto and belicoso sizes.

[guitar4001]

I usually go with corona gorda or robusto, but i'll smoke any size as long as I like the flavor.

[Kinky_yk]

I tend to go through different cycles, last year I was craving anything box pressed, mostly in a robusto, toros, or torpedos. Lately I can't get enough churchills or lanceros. Still mostly maduro of course...

[Smokin Gator]

I am all over the place depending on the mood/time/marca. One of my favorites as far as the feel is a taco. Pretty much narrows down the marca too considering current production!!

[emopunker2004]

i think my second fav is robusto. i love me some box pressed anything though

[smelly4tay]

belicoso
corona
lonsdale
petite robusto

[timo]

What he said! :)

[jsd]

I think I most often go with either Robusto, Corona Gorda, or Piramid, but I do enjoy DCs and Churchills from time to time.

[Salvelinus]

I wind up smoking mostly robustos, but I like anything under 50 ring too.

Prior to lighting I like the look of figurado's the best, that doesn't make me buy them though.

[Nathan King]

My favorite is the corona followed closely by the perfecto. I tend to most enjoy skinny cigars.

[loki993]

I pretty much probally like Robustos best so far. I kinda tend to go for that larger ring gauges, but the Robusto is the best middle ground. I also tend to like just about anything box pressed too.

[rebelknight]

Don't have a favorite but if I had to pick I guess I prefer a lot of perfectos and lanceros

[Cornrow_Wallis]

I mostly find myself smoking robustos, but lately I've been leaning towards corona gorda type cigars and lanceros. If I had a cigar specifically made for me it would be around 5.5x46.

At the moment I'd say
1) Lancero
2) Corona gorda
3) Robusto

[Chemyst]

I like belicosos or torpedos, rg 52 or less.
I can clip the point for a lancero size hole,
or larger, if desired.

In general I like the 46-50 rg, except for some
lanceros. I often smoke robustos, due to time
constraints, though.

Chemyst :cool:

[alfredo_buscatti]

Belicoso

I smoke both the JdN Dark Corojo Pelligroso (5 X 44) and the Poderoso (6 X 54), and the difference in flavor is considerable. The wrapper is Nicaraguan Corojo (Jalapa region), and although it dominates both vitolas, it comes as no surprise that it does so much more completely in the Peligroso. I can't vote for either as comparing them is like evaluating two different cigars.

[Chavez]

Corona and or Churchill, depending on how much time. both if the sky is the limit...;-)
