What Size do you Buy the Most? II

[Robulous78]

So Thought I'd see about running a poll on which size is most popularly purchased by members here... I know sizes vary by manufacture and line,So please base your answers off the following chart not what your favorite brand may say...

which most accurately describes what you buy the most of?

Nub (4 /4.5 x 55/60)
Corona (5.5/6 x 42/45)
Panatela (5.5/6.5 x 34/38)
Lonsdale (6/6.5 x 42/44)
Churchill (6.5/7 x 46/48)
Robusto (4.5/5 x 48/50)
Toro (6/6.5 x 48/50)
Presidente (7/8.5 x 52/60)
Gigante/Gordo (>= 6 x >=60)
Torpedo (5.5/6.5 x 46/52)

[Drez]

i cant say size really influences my buying but i would prob say more often then not its corona, robusto, torpedo or toro.

[icehog3]

None of the above.

Minutos (petite coronas).

[Robulous78]

None of the above.

Minutos (petite coronas).


Oh yes... If there is something particularly different about the size you buy the most please post/comment on it here...

Size & Gauge?

Thanks Icehog :tu

Really? 28 views and only 4 votes so far? Come on guys let your opinion be known...

[Brlesq]

I voted for corona only because that is the size I have been enjoying and buying the most of lately. But its also because I already have plenty of robustos, toros, churchills and torpedos. Oh, hell, other than those 60 ring monsters, I love them all!

[DaBear]

I typically only smoke Churchills, Coronas, and Lancero/Lonsdales any more. I'll have a toro if none of the above sizes are made in the particular blend, or a robusto if theres no toros either, but I mostly go for the sticks with length as I like to sit down for an hour and a half or so with it.

[maninblack]

Toros, beli's, and robustos.

[363]

Toros, beli's, and robustos.

+1 but add coronas

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that likes a Churchill :tu When I make it to Raleigh we'll have to fire up a long one Bear... :)

[kelmac07]

Toros and coronas for me.

[CigarNut]

Petite Corona's (not on your list)

[Robulous78]

Petite Corona's (not on your list)

Yea... I forgot a size or 2... thanks for your answer.... :tu

[Dunkel]

Robusto, Corona, Toro, Belicoso in that order. I have been on a corona kick lately though.

[irratebass]

Toros used to be my go to's but lately I have been buying Robusto's or Corona's

[shilala]

Petite Coronas

[Zanaspus]

None of the above.

Minutos (petite coronas).

You beat me to it. ;)

[dvickery]

petit coronas...5 x 42

the further a cigar is from this size...the less chance that i will smoke one on any given night...the less chance i will buy any on any given shopping trip.

derrek :hm

[gbum]

robusto,belicoco,torpedo

[RevSmoke]

I'd say my most often smoked size lately is not really a petite corona, more of a petite robusto - 4/4.5X44/48.

However, if I have the time, then I have others in the box that I enjoy, including:
Corona, Panatela, Lonsdale, Churchill, Robusto. Toro, Presidente, Torpedo.

I only smoke an occasional time per week, so I'd rather get in a couple cigars than just one huge cigar, so that's why I have been gravitating toward the smaller size. Although, when I do know that I have the time, and will have a *LONG* time to smoke numerous cigars, some of the larger sizes are wonderful.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[Nathan]

I voted for corona in lieu of petite corona, I don't generally have the time for long sticks. Second would be robusto.

[Catfish]

Toros, Belicosos, Torpedos and Lanceros.

[MarkinAZ]

Robustos for sure. 5x50, 5x52, 5x54. I don't have a lot of time during the day, so I go for the robusto. That's pretty much all that I have in the humi':2

[Ashcan Bill]

Petit Coronas.

[Thrak]

Robusto and toro's for me... with 2 small kids I rarely have time to sit for 1.5hrs so robustos fit my schedule... I also love Short Stories, not sure what size they'd be considered.

[JJG]

None of the above.

Minutos (petite coronas).

Haha, I came here to say this.

While I also enjoy large cigars on the weekend, I normally don't have the time to finish a big smoke. Consequently the majority of my purchases are PCs and smaller.

Top 5:

-shorts
-trini Reyes
-Upmann PC
-Fuente Don Carlos #4
-Padron '64 Pricipes (maduro)

I'm not saying these are the best, just the ones I find myself smoking the most frequently. :tu

[ArgusP2]

lanceros

[Sonic04GT]

Robustos. They seem just the perfect size and hold my attention long enough. Keep the larger ones for occasions like boating.

[CasaDooley]

None of the above.

Minutos (petite coronas).

I'm the same as Tom on this, with Robusto's coming in second.:tu

[papichulo]

I agree with Icehog and the others, PCs are great. lately Churchills for me; however, I often find myself sub 48. If I was to vote on two other sizes you listed I would have hit the corona and Lonsdale. Just my two cents.

[RWhisenand]

Robustos for sure, with Torpedos second. Only occasionally do I smoke a longer stick.

[chippewastud79]

Petite Corona.

Is there a first version of this same thread? :hm

[sevans105]

Really gravitated to the torpedo shape. I like the draw and flavors I get for med. to larger ring gauges but not always a fan of having that size in my mouth (many opportunities for phallic related jokes there). The torpedo is a nice compromise for me.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

PC
Robusto
Lancero
Lonsdale

[icehog3]

Petite Corona.

Is there a first version of this same thread? :hm

Deleted, Rob didn't get the poll up in time.

[Mattso3000]

No backwoods or "cheroot" option???

There's no petite corona, and you're suprised there's no cheroot? :lr

[Mattso3000]

Cant...stop...laughing....I knew you'd be good for that one, Tom:banger

[icehog3]

I does what I can, Matt. :r

[Robulous78]

LoL ok... I thought 10 options typed and loaded in 5 mins was pretty good... LoL... I appreciate everyone taking my non comprehensive poll... :r

I will endeavor to Be more painstakingly accurate in the future... :tu

Be on the look out for more... :)

[Mattso3000]

:r I voted corona, Rob. Don't mind the drunken idiot joke posts!

[Robulous78]

Oh no... I was rather enjoying the Banter... No harm no foul, and I have a new size I need to try... :tu

[Robulous78]

bump...

[icehog3]

bump....

[dyieldin]

Mostly robusto for me due to the heat of AZ or simply time. If I have the time I will pick up a toro and with things cooling of around here I will get more of them in.

[Retiredguy]

Most of the time I smoke churchills, but I also smoke a large number in a size that I didn't see on the list. The double corona at 7 X 50.

[czerbe]

I went Robusto due to time flavor, and price it works best for me

[Blak Smyth]

PC

[dubleuhb]

Coronas for me, but RG is the big thing for me. Anything over 50 takes a backseat.

[Big Maduro]

I tend to go with a Toro size for most of my cigars. I don't smoke a lot and when I do I like to spend a good long relaxing time with it.

[dave]

Why do you ask?

Seems to assume that most BOTL here would be willing to be pigeonholed for no apparent reason. I do understand that many generally prefer over/under a certain RG. But so much can go into choosing a cigar size - I don't see the reason for collecting the data here. Its just that differening RG's can change a cigar so dramatically -- finding the sweet spot for me for any particular blend is kind of fun. Factor in that time available to smoke will often influence chosen length.
The day I decide that I should stick with Robs, for examaple, is the day my caring about flavor and complexity dies a little bit.

Dave, I think it is more a casual curiosity about what folks like than it is about "collecting data"

You're, of course, right, Peter. I may be on the rag a bit today...just getting a little impatient with some of the (somewhat mindless?) drivel here (even the OP seemed to acknowledge that he was more interested in kicking out a thread in 5 minutes than trying to include important choices) -- I'll go back to working at ignoring threads I don't 'enjoy'. I did think that I had points to make about restricting oneself to a certain size, but could have chosen better way to make them.

No problem, Dave.

We all, at times, post mindless drivel. Hopefully, it is the exception and not the rule.

Speak for yourself, Buzzy. :lr

[pnoon]

See that, Dave.
I rest my case.

[357]

None of the above.

Minutos (petite coronas).

FTW!

[icehog3]

None of the above.

Minutos (petite coronas).

FTW!

There's my exception for this thread, Buzzy! :D

[357]

Hey, I resemble that remark. Wait.... :sh

[dozer]

Robusto followed by Lancero/Petite Lancero followed by Toro

[milhouse]

I notice I buy robustos the most, but notice lately I gravitate towards smaller rg.

[44stampede]

Robustos I seem to have the most of currently but Corona, torpedos and PCs are favs currently.

[rizzle]

Coronas, and where's the option for petite coronas? :tu
