Cigar Preferences

Like most others, there are many things that factor into my stick pickage, but to answer your specific question...usually rg is more important to me than length. They both change the flavor of a cigar, however, so it's kind of hard to separate them.

Nuts, Clayton, at first I thought you said "I want Ton's wife". My reply was "SOLD!!".

It's not the size of the boat...it's the motion of the ocean

(I don't make a conscious decision based on RG/length. I just reach for what I want - and my collection spans the gambit )

If we weren't talking about cigars, that would sound pretty slutty.

Time may affect my decision, but normally I smoke what I want to based upon what flavors and/or aroma I am looking to enjoy.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I have to go by flavor first. and usually stick to a belicoso or a robusto. But ill go with any size if its the flavor i want

My favorite size is corona.

[kuzi16]

i have no idea what i want to smoke before i open one of the humidors.

whatever looks good.


in general i like cigars that are longer and thinner. my ideal shape is a lonesdale-ish. 6.75 x 45 would be about right. I also like figurado shapes given the complexity they provide. i go for a med-full smoke more often than not but the strength does not influence the decision too much.

I'll smoke anything 50rg and under. Sometimes a 52rg and very, very rarely anything larger. I prefer any vitola 38-42rg.

I never pre-plan what I'll smoke, just whatever jumps out at me when I look for one. And as the Rev mentioned, time can be a factor.

DING DING DING WINNER! I couldn't have said it better.

rg over length ,50 rg and above...
but
price make me go for corona...

Well my only preference is for tobacco to taste like tobacco, not some cheap perfume, kool-aid or other crap.

As for size I love the corona size smokes.

Neither really matter to me, I am on a smoke time preference. I go for cigars I can smoke in 1.5 hours or less. Depending how much time I have makes the decision of the cigar I smoke that day.

I like Churchills, they last the whole movie.

For me, its all about the flavor profile. It 100% dictates what type of cigar I will choose to smoke. My mood regarding flavors and taste changes day to day so I make my choice based on that.

Length and RG don't come into play when deciding what to smoke on a particular day. I don't light up a cigar if I don't have time to sit and enjoy it. Purchasing however is a whole different story. RG is definitely a factor in that arena.

I'm gravitating toward the smaller ring sizes as I keep hearing that they have a better flavor. I ordered the Tatuaje Brown Label Especiales yesterday.

Time doesn't play a factor for me as I only smoke when I have the time to finish a bigger cigar, but even here I draw the line at a 54 ring, for the same reason as above.
