I am by means an expert but after a few years of cigar smoking(previously only a pipe smoker), I have come to the conclusion the the smaller the ring gauge the better the flavor. Some of the sticks that I have enjoyed the least are 60rg, and some one the ones I have enjoyed the most are coronas. Not to say theres no large ring gauges I have enjoyed but have always enjoyed their smaller counterparts more. I really would like to try some Lancero cigars but havent had the chance yet. I've read some people saying blenders typically perfect their blend in a corona size and then just add filler to make larger sizes which would explain why the price from a corona to a gordo cigar in the same line doesnt drastically increase the price. Is the influx with large ring gauge cigars more a fashion/fad type thing or are there actually some of these large ring gauges that are still very flavorful? I almost want to say I am going to start shopping more for coronas than any other size now. I do like to be able relax and smoke the same cigar for a couple hours but I feel smoking a couple smaller sticks instead is more enjoyable. Anyone else feel this way or have any input on the matter?
