Cigar Sized (Comment and Poll - Page 2

My 3 favs (in no particular order) Lancero, Robusto, and Lonsdale. PC's are a close 4th

Skywalker · 12-01-2009, 07:11 AM

When I first started I really preferred the larger RG, now give me a Lancero or PC any day of the week!!!

Subvet642 · 12-01-2009, 07:21 AM

During the '90's cigar craze, I was smoking coronas exclusively, so when I "came back", I naturally grabbed coronas, but lately, I've discovered robustos and toros. They match the amount of time I have to smoke, and have sort of an "old school" look; I think aesthetics are important if one considers a cigar as an accessory as well as a smoke. I'll likely try torpedos in the near future, as well.

big petit corona fan.
top 3 would probably be 1.petit corona 2. robusto 3. lancero

E.J. · 12-01-2009, 08:47 AM

95% of the time when making a purchase, Robustos are what are in the basket...

Powers · 12-01-2009, 08:49 AM

PCs and lanceros whore here!

12-01-2009, 09:16 AM

I smoke mostly PCs and lanceros. I also really enjoy lonsdales. I find anything larger than a robusto an uncomortable smoke.

elderboy02 · 12-01-2009, 09:22 AM

I like pretty much everything except for the ridiculously huge ring gauges (Nub for example, though I do enjoy the torpedo Nub Maduro)

Blindjimme · 12-01-2009, 09:25 AM

For cc's I like my vote, Corona's. For nc's Robusto, Toro & Lancero's. Nothing 60rg.

akumushi · 12-01-2009, 09:35 AM

It was a hard choice between lancero and lonsdale, but at the moment lancero wins out. Third choice would be corona gorda, followed by the robusto.

I noticed myself moving in the lonsdale direction as well. I had been smoking alot of PC's and Corona Gordas, but the lonsdale seems to have such a wide variety of flavor profiles.

Ashcan Bill · 12-01-2009, 09:46 AM

Well, I've always preferred something in the corona range, but lately I've been on more of a robusto kick. Pretty soon I'll gravitate back toward the smaller sizes, but right now I'm enjoying the bigger boys.

I agree! I love em all but the pc just seems to hit the spot more often then not.

rizzle · 12-01-2009, 12:08 PM

Right now I'm on a Petite Corona kick.

yourchoice · 12-01-2009, 12:23 PM

I really enjoy Corona Gordas, they are probably my #1. A nice combination of length and ring gauge. I also really enjoy lonsdales, hermosos #4, and churchills (and robustos and belicosos and...

). The ring gauge is probably the biggest determining factor for me as I tend to enjoy 44-48 RG the most.

WTH...I like 'em all!

RevSmoke · 12-01-2009, 12:53 PM

Yep! Dem's the ones I like, you listed most of them. You forgot torpedos and perfectos though.

I might be strange, but I used to like just one size - robustos. Now, depending on mood, time, etc... my list is much changed. I may grab a Churchill or it might be a PC, or, it might be something else.

Glad I could be of assistance.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

12-01-2009, 02:30 PM

Right now it is a robusto. But it changes everyday

12-01-2009, 02:36 PM

Does cigar size have anything to do with taste; or is it just a personal preference. I was just wondering since I was looking at a cigar yesterday and the different sizes had different user ratings.

The smaller the ring gauge, generally means you get a more intense flavor, or more flavor than you would with a larger ring gauge.

kgoings · 12-01-2009, 02:38 PM

Lancero and Lonsdales, it has been that way for awhile. I started with robustos being my favs.

Although I do smoke alot of petite coronas right now due to time constraints.
