So what is your preferred size/shape stick. I seem to be enjoying the lancero lately. The lancero seems to have a better flavor then other sizes to me. What say you?

Toro, or a torpedo about the same size. I like robusto size as well, but I like to watch tv/movies when I smoke and sometimes a robusto just doesn't last long enough. Churchills don't usually do it for me, most of the time they don't seem to build up any flavor until I've smoked the first inch anyway, so I might as well go with a toro.

It really depends on the stick.

Whenever I try a new smoke, I like to try several sizes, as are better in small ring gauges, and others are best in the larger ones.

ltl depends on the mood/situation for me, but I generally like the larger cigars. I like to sit on the porch, or walk around the neighborhood contemplating life, or hanging with some buddies for a couple hours with a cigar, so i generally go with something around 6x60. i do not discriminate based on size though––if i like the smell and price, i'll get it.

My usual Friday night smoke is a Cain Maduro Double Toro, but it switches based on mood.

My favorite size is probably a toro or churchill, but I agree with the above that some cigars just taste better in different sizes. For instance, I didn't care too much for the Kristoff maduro churchill, but I loved the robusto. The difference in length and ring gauge does affect the taste. If a cigar has a really tasty wrapper, a smaller ring size lonsdale or corona may taste better than a 50 or 60 ring of the same blend.

It all depends on the cigar. Cain cigars I like the double toro 6x60 and nub 460 4x60. Others I do in verious sizes due to taste. Mostly torpedo and Robusto.

Rubusto/Toro with a Torp every so often.

I dont know why but Churchills are an instant no-go for me.

34 Double D.

Sorry, I thought I was still in GD

I like torpedos with ring gauges around 52-56.

Corona

[#13]

pc or mini belicoso, full of good tobacco taste, strong enough to make you gag, hiccup and poop

Rothchilds....Corona/Robusto a close second.

I will typically grab a robusto or toro for the first time i try something. I have found those to be my favorites.

Churchill, Robusto, Toro, Lonsdale

yup, if not a torpedo is fine

Rothschilds here too.

I also keep a lot of Torpedos around

Posted: 4/21/2011 8:39:55 AM EDT

Morning, after breakfast, a mild body double corona, like HdM double corona
After lunch, a torpedo or figurado, 52 ring gage or larger.
I only got to smoke a morning and after lunch cigar on my day off.

Normally after work, a robosto of small belicoso is great, before dinner.
After dinner, I prefer a cigar larger than churchill, more double corona, or giant.

I like Robusto followed by Toro.

Corona

Have to agree with the corona, although many factors go into deciding which vitola to reach for at any given time.

After the corona would come the dalia, the cervantes and the laquito #1. After those a figurado of some sort.
