For NC's I love the robusto format, for CC's I like something in a 6x42-46 rg. I've been getting more into CC's lately and I have found that the slimmer smokes give you every bit the flavor the larger NC's do.

Something around 50rg and 5.5 inches.... also enjoy the 42x5.5-6's.

I mostly enjoy the torpedos during warmer weather but when it gets cold a robusto or lancero has to come out.

kaisersozei 11-25-2008 06:24 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I probably smoke more robustos than anything else, although my favorite cigars are in the smaller RGs (44-48.)

Right now it's PCs.

md4958 11-25-2008 06:38 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
my preference would be a robusto, or wavell size. however I recently discovered lanceros and really enjoy that vitola.

Also, coronas and petit coronas will always have a place in my humi (espically CC) because of our cold winters and lack of an enclosed smoking area. PCs give a nice quick smoke.

Prozac_Puros 11-25-2008 07:11 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Corona or Corona Gorda

tobii3 11-25-2008 07:11 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
4 x 46

Easily the best size for those of us who are always on the move and don't have a chance to sit down for a longer smoke - the plus side is you get a LOT more of the wrapper flavor than in a standard robusto (5x50) or rothschild (4.5x50)

elderboy02 11-25-2008 07:16 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
5 x 50-56 for non-CC's. I like the corona and petit corona size for CC's.

Mugen910 11-25-2008 07:33 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Anything Corona or smaller..

Combo of <45 rg & >4 inches

or

> 40 rg & <5 inches.

GTsetGO 11-25-2008 07:34 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
i try to stay around the robusto to toro size.

icurrie 11-25-2008 07:42 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I like the 5x50 or bigger.

PM me the exact choices you want to appear in the poll and I will set it up for you.

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I have recently discovered lancero's and I am looking for more in this vitola. For cc's I like the corona's and PC's. For the longest time I smoked the larger ring gauge cigars, but I am trending smaller ring gauge now.

tsolomon 11-25-2008 07:48 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Corona Gorda and Lanceros have been my favorite RGs lately. :ss

I like the torpedos in the 50's RG.:D

Lonsdale/Cervantes/Lancero

petewho 11-25-2008 10:28 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Corona, Corona Gorda, Robusto - right around those sizes is the time I like to spend on a cigar. Churchills and big Toros are usually longer than I feel like any one stick, but I'll deal with them.

I also get on kicks when I want an extreme ring gauge - either a lancero, or something big, 54+ but those times are rare.

shemp 11-25-2008 10:56 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
i'm liking the petite coronas or lanceros more and more, so i'm gonna say

5 x 46

Ditto... I love the smaller stuff RG wise... as for length I am not too picky unless I have a shorter amount of time and need a shorter smoke.

Skywalker 11-25-2008 11:10 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I love Perfectos (any size) and Lanceros!!!

I haven't seen Perfecto mentioned yet, so that is my vote!!!

rizzle 11-25-2008 02:03 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Robusto in a larger RG, Corona in a smaller RG.

auburnfan1980 11-25-2008 02:30 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Torpedo (figurado) about 6.5"x 52. The most skilled rollers usually are put to work on this particular shape, and I'm not a big fan of a very loose draw. With a torpedo, it's quite easy to start with a very small cut, and if not sufficient, take a lil more off for better draw :tu

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Most often I smoke smaller 46 or lower rg. But my favorite size would probably be a Salamones or Diademas. Just something old school and decadent about smoking a monster stick like that.

Buena Fortuna 11-25-2008 04:58 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
5x46 Robusto size

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I like robustos and many other shapes, but my favourite stick is still Monte #4, so I'll go with 5x42.

Thanks for the contest and enjoy your trip.

acruce 11-25-2008 05:15 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Robusto 5 x 50 :ss

Corona or Mareva. :2

DrDubzz 11-25-2008 05:29 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
nothing fatter than 50 (preferably)

my favorite sizes are PC and corona gorda. I really like the dalia size as well

webjunkie 11-25-2008 05:42 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Currently I really enjoy robusto and corona sized sticks. But then again, some cigars I prefer as a lancero (Oliva V for example). Still, I do enjoy sitting down with a larger cigar sometimes (esp when I have the time).

Can't I just say that I like them all?

BirdDok 11-25-2008 05:58 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I started smoking robustos, but now I find them a bit too small. I now prefer a toro or a beli, but I still wouldn't turn down a good smoke, no matter what the size. I do have a few high end petite coronas in my humi that I really do want to try. I'll let you know how I like that size when I light 'em up. :ss

Starscream 11-25-2008 06:52 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
robusto and corona size are my favs. Not a toro or churchill fan here.
I like torpedos and perfectos when I get 'em.

theonlybear4CORT 11-25-2008 07:15 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I prefer the robustos

Corona Gorda

My initial response was going to be,,,ask the wife but then I read more and had to change my answer to Churchill.

joeybear 11-26-2008 03:14 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I'm not too picky :) I'm not into lanceros, petite coronas, or coronas if I have other choices, though

Man, I hate to say this, but I agree with an Auburn Fan! My sentiments, Exactly!:D

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I think the 6 x 52 torpedo would also be one of my more prefered sizes. I have always found a more favorable draw on the torpedo caps.

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Torpedo (or belicoso), Churchill and Corona Gorda are my favorites.

O-Danger 11-27-2008 08:08 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
Robusto or PC, Long enough to relax and enjoy, but not too long to keep me away from work for too long

I know there is a joke in here somewhere.

huero71 11-28-2008 09:52 PM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
It's hard to pick a favorite, but I guess I'd go with a 5 5/8 by 46. :ss

nozero 11-29-2008 08:28 AM

Re: How much does size really matter? Poll x 2
 
I went with 6" - 6 3/4" and the bottom three on the RG. I like a few of the lower RG sticks, like the Party Short, but not very many.
