The Case of the Expanding Ring Gauge

Brooks W · 07-27-2012, 12:26 PM

I am willing to bet that 90% or more of cigar smokers:

~have never been on a cigar forum
~have never read an online review
~have no idea what "Capa" or "Viso" are
~have no idea that the wrapper is (almost always) the most flavorful part of a cigar

etc etc..

We as the online cigar smoker community may FEEL like we are a big part of the cigar world, but I assure you, nothing is further from the truth.

The fact that machine made cigars sales dwarf handmade cigar sales is proof of this.

We are merely just pawns in this sick, twisted game...

So I've never have a 60 RG or larger cigar but I just 'won' 3 San Cristobal Elegancia Grandiosos from CB which are 60 x 6" so after they sit in my humi for a couple weeks I'll have that experence. Anyway when I unwrapped them today, I thought of this thread! Wow they are big!

BTW I usually prefer 50 RG smokes.
