What's the absolute best of each of the following sizes. I'm pretty sure I got the main ones, but if I missed an obvious one let me know.

ONE CIGAR PER SIZE. I know it's hard, but try REAL hard.:glassesgr

Corona Jr.
Petit Corona
Corona
Robusto
Pyramide
Lonsdale
Churchill
Double Corona

Extras...as I'm really not sure if these are just different names for others:
Torpedo
Belicoso
Corona Gorda

Have fun!:blob: :grinFU:

John, I thought Shorts were Corona Juniors (ETA, or maybe a TPC)?

I call them what I want... :blush: Just kidding.
I struggle with classifications sometimes.

They are bigger than the sigloI which I put in teh smaller catagory.

Corona Jr./(TPC) - Party Short
Petit Corona - Bolivar
Corona - only have sampled a few, of which Bolivar is my fav so far!
Robusto - Toss up between PSD4 and VR Famosos
Pyramide - HDM LE
Lonsdale - my first one is on the way (Partagas)
Churchill - Romeo y Juliet
Double Corona - HDM is the only I've had so far

Extras...as I'm really not sure if these are just different names for others:
Torpedo - see pyramide
Belicoso - have not smoke any yet, have (2) BBFs waiting though
Corona Gorda - Mag 46 or Punch Punch

I have not smoked a lot of the larger cigars yet, I don't have many at all either. Lately I just have not had the time to enjoy them so I haven't bought any, but I see that changing with the long summer hours!!! I will have to expand my cigar experience with the larger vitolas!!!

My choices are based on what is available today, if I were to try and buy these. This, therefore, assumes between 0 & 3 y/o since that is the typical age available at most retailers.

Corona Jr. - SC El Prince (yum!)
Petit Corona - Dip 4 (small strength for a small cigar)
Corona - Monte 3 (usually overlooked, but a wonderful experience
Robusto - Cohiba (no contest)
Pyramide - Monte 2 (again, no contest
Lonsdale - VR Classicos (perfect example of the blend, not too strong)
Dalia (yes, they are dif) - RA 898 (02 still available)
Churchill - ERDM Tainos OR Esplendido (very difficult choice
Double Corona - RAG ('02s available from our fav HK vendor. YUMMY!)
Belicoso - BBF (no contest for the '04 examples)
Corona Gorda - very difficult: ERDM GC (lots of good ones including Sig 4)
Panetela - Bolivar Regents (available now from our HK vendor 4 y/o)
A - Sancho Sancho (toss up with Monte A or Hoyo Part EL 00)
