I have only been smoking for a year, but it seems like 6x60 cigars are all of the rage right now, and they seem a little two big. I can understand the Nub, and I can understand the larger ring gauges, but the 6x60 is a little much sometimes.

Yeah, that's just nuts to me.

But man...a 6x50? That is a beaut.

never cared for presidente or the churchills. Mailnly is that i normally don't have the time to fully enjoy them. Great for poker nights or visits from friends you haven't seen in a while but other than that usually get bored/tired of it before i finish it.

I can name a cigar I love in almost every size.

But I tell you what...the Flying Pigs are AWESOME. Beautiful, great construction, easy draw, big and complex flavors. I love the way that size feels in my hands.

Was not a fan of the corona, then I smoked the Dirty Rat.

Lancero was the last thing I wanted and then smoked a Cubao #3. I am probably going to try and score last years El Triunfador Lancero. That is a beautiful stick and has botten great reviews.

The robusto will always be the go to stick for a variety of reasons, but there has been an exception to every rule and preconceived notion I have had about a size.

I am going to try and score a BHK 56 and test GG's theory! :thumbsup:

I would have missed out on the Opus X Love Affair if I had had let my first perfecto experience sway me from smoking another. It was awful. Draw issues, burn issues, bad cigar. Like I said yesterday, it happens.

Yep, any of the larger sizes. I usually don't have the time to commit to a larger cigar, and with the WI winter rapidly approaching, I just don't want to be outside that long.

Churchill & Presedente.
Anything that is smoking over 2 hours is kind of a pain, unless its a super delicious or super premium or both I guess. RG doesnt bother me. I especially like fatter RG in Torpedo form.

Ditto. A Tony Signature Soprano may be delicious but it is way too big for my liking. Any Nub cigar is just ridiculous. I want to enjoy smoking a fine cigar, not have a gigantic phallus-like object in my mouth.
This goes directly against everything you've ever told me...or what Sam has told me...about myself.

This.

Pretty much anything over a 52 rg feels like a baseball bat in my mouth.

Seriously!

I once was smoking a 66 RG cigar on a fairly cold, crisp day and towards the end there was a small little speckle of blood on the end of the wrapper from where my lip split open stretching my mouth around the thing.

Large rg like 60 are too much for me especially if it is full bodied. I like to reach for toros. More recently been digging on corona gordas, lanceros, coronas to get more flavor of the wrapper.

I like a Double Corona 7x54 to 7x60 for the golf course. Off the course I like much smaller cigars 4.5x52 to 4.5x60.

My very favorite cigar is the Padron 1926 Serie 40th Anniversary 6.75x54 box pressed torpedo. What a great stick!!!
