What size cigar is your favorite?

It really depends on a lot of things, like brand, my mood, time available etc. I do tend to like the smaller ring gauges better, but I don't mind a nice robusto either. Although I do like my large RG smokes in a torpedo or figurado format. The fatties feel somewhat awkward in my mouth, although I do have a fairly big mouth. In the physical sense, that is.
 
When I first started, I smoked the biggest, fattest cigar I could find. Now I find myself smoking robustos most of the time.
 
When I have the time to enjoy them, I really like things in the 58+rg

One of my favorite cigars to smoke on a long driving trip is the IT super fuerte maduro "godzilla" it's a 58x6 i think (i could be wrong) but it's a nice mellow smoke that lasts a long time!
 
x2 I don't have time to sit for 2 hours and smoke

x3. I started out with the Churchills and Torps about 10 years ago and then slowly progressed toward the Robusto & Toro sizes. Anymore, it's smaller ring guage, shorter cigars. Mostly because I find a completely different flavor/character profile and I tend to get bored with larger cigars. When time permits, I'll enjoy a couple of cigars a day and I rarely smoke the same brand within a couple weeks of each other. With smaller cigars, I get to switch it up fairly frequently and I never get "bored" doing so.
 
So far i have stuck to small smokes like slim panatelas and pefectos. I also love the peqeunios by cohiba. They are just right for size and smoke time for me.
 
I enjoy small figurados, Petite Coronas, Coronas and Lonsdales. Basically 38-46 RG. I use to be a robusto lover 50-54 RG, but I find a different flavor profile in the smaller RGs. For example, take two cigars rolled with the exact same tobacco and you will find the smaller RGs have a more flavorful and intense (concentrated) flavor. Try this test yourself and see what you think. Just because they are small does not mean they are for whimps. Trust me.

:tpd:

when i first started smoking walking in to a B&M i would see that biger cigar for a extra .50 cents. it seemed like a good deal. as time when on i started to pretty much do what papichulo said.:D
