zmancbr Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Every size on that list makes me drool...can you imagine today's production in those sizes? All I can say is I wish there was a demand for those sizes today. Thanks for the good read!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloniales Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Was at a presentation by Simon Chase, back in 2010. He made it on Havanas since the 1880's or thereabouts. The time period above, was a classic for the 42/43 ring gauge Parejos. This lasted into the ealy 80's. Back at the end of the 19th century and up to the 1930's, double figurados were all the rage. I have seen many spectacular vitolas from that era. Now, the vogue, like it or not is for 50+ ring gauge cigars. Personally i like the 50-54 cigars, not exclusively, but I do like them. Who knows how long this latest things for bigger ring gauge cigars will last, my guess is a while. Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
