What is Your Favorite Cigar Size?

[foureyedgeek]

Typically robustos or coronas.

Lately, Lanceros have been the ones really doing it for me.

I voted for Toro for a couple of reasons. In my experience that is the largest ring guage that burns well without many touchups - if any. Also the longer the cigar the longer it will last and I'm not just smoking for the flavor - the whole experience is nice and I want it to last as long as possible. :2 deposited.

When I first got back into cigar smoking I saw everyone going for Robusto's.
I started to follow but soon figured out I also liked Torpedo's.

Recently I'm getting into the Lonsdales and Lancero's. I like the smaller ring gauge and longer smoke.
More wrapper and less filler makes for a tasty smoke.

When I met Benjo Menendez, master roller for Partagas, he said 75-80% of the flavor of a cigar comes from the wrapper.

Going along with that statistic, I would think the more wrapper and less filler the better....but obviously I have to take that with a grain of salt.

I went with the Corona, but the Lancero is right up there.

 

[icurrie]

I like the bigger ring guage. The toro has good length as well. The robusto is a close second.
just my :2

Several mentions of the Lancero size here, but I'm unfamiliar with it. Isn't it similar to the Panatella?

 

[NCRadioMan]

Some may call it a long panatella. Lancero 7-1/2 x 38 Some manufacturers size them 7 x 38, 40 or 42

But the bigger gauge means more surface area of wrapper to come in contact with your mouth. I mean your mouth is only on one small piece of the cigar during the entire smoke so a small ring gauge means less wrapper and because the cigar is longer you must use that little bit of real estate throughout a long smoke.

Is my logic flawed here somehow? I mean I find the bigger ring gauges to be more flavorful especially in the maduros.

Robos

 

[Snake Hips]

I've been diggin' the toros lately.

I usually smoke what I can get my hands on that fits into the time frame I'm looking at, though.

 

[bobarian]

Lancero's and Coronas. But I would smoke Salamones all day long if I could afford them.:tu

 

[SvilleKid]

Lanceros. But they are very close to pantelle size, so that size works also.

Voted for robusto, but I guess there is not one size that trips my trigger. I usually go for a torpedo or figurado on a new smoke mostly because I like the shape and feel.

The Churchill is a nice smoke to sit down and ponder over things. The tin cigars are nice in the casino because you can carry a bunch and it does not take a lot of effort to smoke them.

Have begun seeking out lanceros, they just seem to be a nice size smoke and burn really nice.

Anyway, picked the robusto because that is what I have the most of and I found it to be a good cigar to get the full quality of a smoke without spending a huge amount of time.

 

[casadooley]

My fav is a Short Perfecto followed by Corona, Robusto and Petit Corona,
although I'm known to smoke most any size!:ss

That's nice to know, John. :ss

 

[pnoon]

Voted for Lonsdales but Coronas are a close second.

Uh-oh!
