Big ring gauge cigars...

[dave]

I prefer smaller RG's for all the reasons stated above....and, I just generally find that they taste better to me.

On the other hand, smoke what you like.

My biggest 'problem' with the larger RG's is that their popularity is crowding out the skinnies for B&M facings. It isn't unusual for my local to put out a new blend with nothing smaller than 56 -- because that's what the 'masses' want. Pisses me off that I have trouble finding a corona when I want one.

+1 for this. Obviously, most shops aren't going to have every vitola a cigar comes in, but it's rare that they carry lancero or corona formats when they can have Robusto Gordos or larger formats. But hey, that's just me being picky!
