Coronas
 
After reflecting on what I've read from what others here have said about preferring smaller ring cigars, been on a journey of sampling as many corona vitola sticks as possible lately. Must say, this has proven to be good advice. Many of my favorites are really a bit more tasty in the smaller sizes. Cigars like the Oliva V, San Cristobal, Kristoff Ligero Maduro, Casa Magna and Undercrown seem to have a more concentrated flavor in the corona size. I still like the big guns for a really long smoke. The smaller sizes are perfect for a short walk and exceptional if you want to have two or three different sticks. Now, just have to move to lanceros to see what that size offers. Oh, and I've found that the smaller ring sticks seem to be better on the slightly dry side.
So many good cigars to choose from! Weather here is exceptional...life is good! :D

Welcome to the small RG side! :) Corona is probably my favorite vitola.

Ya. I have been sampling quite a few Coronas as of late. Well been buying. Gotta get to work on the sampling. Just to find the time in the next couple of weeks.

Zane called it. I'd there's a perfect size, I think corona gorda is it.
If not, petit corona sure is nice. :tu

But really...

Now that I'm smoking slower, I'm finally starting to appreciate smaller RG cigars as well :tu

Yes, the smaller RG is something I much prefer over the jaw-splitting cigars that are being thrown at us these days.

I wonder how much it would be to have it professionally printed.

Staples and other office stores usually have printing centers that have those giant printers. Probably a good chunk of change though.

That won't print well above 8.5x11. Not hi-res enough.

Oh, and Espinosa Maduro corona gordos are mmmmmmmmm.
