Does Size Matter?

[chefjohn]

Just out of curiosity what is your favorite size and/or shape cigar? I’m partial to perfectos. I think they just have a classic look about them.

Preference? I would say partial to a Toro, Gordon, churchill. I enjoy torps and robustos too. Hell I guess I dont have a preference overall, just depends on what kind of time I have. I still plan to smoke a 708 Big Fella Barber Pole when I have 3hrs to smoke, its 68x8.5 lol. Or a big bamboo.

Seldom anything bigger then a Toro

My wife tells me no

I like the Nub size with 48-52 ring, but rarely find them.

Shape doesn’t really matter to me as long as it burns good. As far as length & ring gauge go, I prefer about an hour long smoke. Usually longer than that, I end up getting interrupted by something or ADD kicks in.

Toro & Lancero

Lancero and pc's

Thompson allows you to search by length and ring gauge

In order: panatella, lancero, corona, rothschild, PC, robusto, toro.

My go-to’s are usually PC’s but it largely depends on how long I have to smoke. I’m a fan of the robustos and toros for when I have a bit more time.

Lanceros, Robustos, Toro's, typically nothing larger than a 50 RG. Perfectos look cool, but they burn crooked for me and require constant touch ups. The fat RG stuff I don't get.

My preferred sizes:
Corona Gorda
Robusto
Corona
Lancero
Petit Corona
Shape is basically inconsequential, it is what it is. I smoke the blend, not the shape. For example, if the Hemingways were all parejos and not perfectos, I’d still smoke them.
