I'm not sure, but I think some of the cigar rollers are trying to compensate for something :D

An 80 guage...

Even Kristoff is getting in on it

I'm not knocking it; I'm a firm believer in "Smoke what you like and like what you smoke". I was just really surprised the other day when I went into a local B&M for the first time in several months and the majority of what he had were Big 'Uns.

I enjoy some 50 RG sticks, but my jaw starts hurting much after that. YMMV

I guess you'd better like their filler blend.

I have smoked the Asylum 7X70 and its just too much, to be frank it tasted really good great burn, good flavor profile but 3 hours in and I still have 2 inches to go... I just got bored. For me 46 is my Money RG

Next year, guaranteed! Not kidding! :rolleyes:

The thing with these jawbreakers is that the majority of the fillers used has no taste. It's just used to make the cigar burn correctly, not give flavor.

Most of the people who smoke these in my B&H are the younger crowd. The few I've asked have always reasoned that it's the best value. I have a hard time getting a good seal on the bigger ring gauge cigars...

I was pleasantly surprised by that Kristoff...had one put into a sampler bag for me last year and enjoyed it. Can't complain about it.

Now, on the big ring gauge...I was mortally offended by one on May 25th (I remember because it was during an anniversary smoke trip)...Had to have been 80+. Had the same green spiral wrapper as your image but not that band. ...didn't even smell decent.

Mine is 36 to 42. I am not into large rg's.
