I'm curious how the numbers stack up on this... I usually prefer a full flavor with medium strength smoke (cabaiguan, tat red etc.) That's not to say I don't enjoy full strength smokes like my tat browns or padron 26's on occasion. I know this can vary widely (ie time of the day or what you had for dinner.)

But if you had to pick one type of profile to smoke, what would it be?

Typically prefer med-full flavor and med-full strength but not an option :cbig:

Hard for me to pick one actually as it varries day to day and time of day.

Wouldn't you like to know?

I completely agree Craig. I have cigars that fall into most of the categories listed and will enjoy each of them at different times.

hmm very interesting. Even thou I know many of us smoke a wide variety of cigars as far as flavor/strength, I definitely expected to see more votes for the full/full option!

I guess flavor is king by a slight margin.

I voted Full/Medium... All levels seem to have their time and place. For me, sometimes a rare mild/mild fits the bill while other times require more in the form of complexity and strength. That's the beauty of the ever-growing range of brands and blends!

All depends on the mood and time of day for me. I don't think I've ever bought a mild flavor knowingly, but even one now and then is OK.

IMHO, I think part of it is that it's hard to find a really FULL bodied smoke that doesn't also sacrifice some flavor to get that punch, ya know? Instead... it seems most of us prefer to have great full flavor... and sacrifice some nicotine strength to get it, even if we like the fuller end of the spectrum!
Very very true... I hadn't thought about this :yes:

I truly like them all. If it tastes good and smokes good then vitola and all around strength don't matter to me. A good cigar is a good cigar and a bad one is extra kindling in the fire pit.
