To RG or not to RG

[DonWeb]

I will NOT start a trend toward smoking smaller rg. You can't make me, you can't...make...me.

But dammit ... the Montecristo Joyita I smoked on the drive home was just right - tons of smoke, full of flavor, completed in just the right time.

(If ya got em, smoke em.)

They are very good when they aren't too tight to smoke,which has been my experience all too often.

I have a long Tat Havana VI sitting in the humi. I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but it is real long with a small ring guage. It may be the next to go up in flame.

When I saw the title of the thread I thought you wanted advice on whether to give someone some rg!

I have yet to have a tight joyita fortunately. Amazing how much flavor is in these little guys.

I have an Oliva V lancero that will die a firey death soon. I prefer the fatty's, but look forward to trying this skinny one. I really enjoy trying different stuff, thats half the fun for me.

 

[hk3]

I agree totally! These little dudes are quite pleasing for being such a small smoke!

 

[Papichulo]

I have smoked larger ones, but I am more into the traditional small rg cigars.

Don, Mr. Joed introduced me to the jos on smaller RG smokes. Panatellas and pc's have quickly become favorites no matter the vitola.

I Remember the little joyita you gifted to me, Tony. That was one heck of a cigar for being so tiny

 

[SmokinApe]

I enjoy cigars of all RG's, but my favorite is the 5x50 robusto... This pic is of a 5x70 Perdomo Imnesa I smoked on vacation last summer...

 

[SmokinApe]

Wow, that didn't turn out correct...

 

[Razorhog]

I like a 5x50 too. :tu

 

[shilala]

I like some skinnies sometimes.
I smoke too fast. Because of that, I often miss the nuances that other guys catch from a strong cigar. I find that I can usually catch those things if I smoke the same cigar of a smaller rg.
I tend to smoke smaller ones slower, too. Don't know why?

That thing is a firecracker, watch out.

 

[Tredegar]

I prefer a smaller ring gauge, <50, myself.

The Joyita is a little powerbomb of a smoke. I didnt a little 4 1/2x26 stick could pack that kind of flavor and strength. 20 minutes of pure delight. But damn, those little things are pricey!:ss
