Do you have a vitola/size that you naturally gravitate to?

[Boston Matt]

When you are trying a line that you've not tried before, do you have a particular size that you naturally gravitate to?

For instance, I am not overly inclined to try a lancero unless someone specifically tells me..."you gotta try the lancero." I would typically pick up either a robusto or a belicoso/torpedo.

How about you?

I like lanceros if I have the time to smoke one. Otherwise a PC is fine, but I will smoke whatever looks good. Big huge ring gauges though aren't always my preference. Anything that barely fits in my palio to cut it is too big.

 

[terrantheman]

Lonnies, coronas and cg's

 

[madSimon]

Typically a robusto, even though I know a corona would be the smart average play.

 

[amgracing]

ring sizes from 40-48 is my favorite but I do love lanceros! im having an el trunifador right now

 

[dpricenator]

I like the petitte corona, panatella,and Lancero. In general I do not like fat ring gagues, with the exception of Belicoso, or torpedos, that have a smaller head. I will smoke the rest if I have them, but I generay buy the tapered smokes or smaller smokes.

 

[cvm4]

Petite Corona or Corona Gorda. Possibly the Piramide or Belicoso.

i like the robustos on a first try... but i sure do like the lanceros lately!!

 

[srduggins]

I gravitate toward the corona gorda, but robustos are nice too.

Hey Aaron, how is that El T?

 

[Halon]

Lonsdales and corona gordas. Smaller ring gauges have better flavor (as long as the wrapper doesn't suck).

I think the recent lancero kick is odd. Not sure where it started, and I'm not sure why people aren't making/smoking lonsdales instead.

I have to say that I wasn't a huge fan of the La Riqueza's until I smoked the #1. Oh my...

 

[Saully]

I prefer Robustos in general, as to mouth feel, smoke volume, taste and as to the amount of smoking time. Larger gauge smokes remind me too much of something else (no, I don't do that) and longer smokes are too mild until their strength increases.

 

[bballbaby]

i have found that the robusto or a torpedo is what i like to try first, but once i find out what that i like a particular line, i gravitate towards the corona gorda, as long as it's a normal cg, not like the 6x60 cg from coronado by la flor, and i also gravitate towards the lanceros and panatela.

 

[Cyrann]

If, I'm trying a cigar for the first time I shoot for the CG. On the other hand my favorite sizes are A's, CGs, and Lanceros.

 

[Daviso27]

Robusto....

 

[oneaday]

I prefer belis, DCs or robustos.

 

[jmatkins]

for first time smokes I go for Robustos or Coronas, once I know I liek the line I will smoke them all depending on my time frame.

 

[RigilKent]

I like Lanceros, Coronas, Robustos sometimes ill go for something bigger but not as often

 

[kyleb]

Anything long and skinny.

Lancero, Deliciados, Panatela, ETC.

 

[uncelnino]

Lanceros, Coronas, CG's, Lonsdales.
