About 75%. I smoke mostly robusto or DC, with pyramides being the larger and PC being the smaller vitolas in my rotation. Averages 50rg...

Nothing against smaller ring gauges but 52rg for a parejo is about the largest I'm comfortable with.

One thing worth mentioning is that I only buy what's available that also fits my palate. I am convinced that if more smaller ring gauges offerings were readily available, I'd include more in my rotation...

About a quarter, mostly prefer corona/petit corona sizes for both time and flavour reasons but sometimes I do just like a robusto if I want a cigar in the background eg if reading a book or BBQing Th

Somewhat less than 10%, and those are pyramides and DCs.

Maybe 1% 50 RG parejos, balance of old stock,

certainly none purchased in the last 5 years.

Before this year, less than 10%. Increased it to about 20-25% this year on purpose just to have more variety. Normalky I've been only holding one or two boxes at a time.

I perfer pc's and cg's. I hope habanos keeps producing these forever.

40% are 48 but I'm a big fan of the Por Larranaga Montecarlos format "Ninfa" would love to see the size it's expand two different brands as the size and format was popular once upon a time

The Montecarlo is a delicioso, 159mm long; the Ninfas is 178mm long with a slightly thinner rg. It takes much more time to smoke a Ninfa (a Quai d'Orsay panatela for instance) than a Montecarlo.

75%. I smoke a lot of piramides, double coronas and robustos, so I'm usually on the larger RG side

Posted

At this stage it would be roughly 75%

75%, but i blame Habanos and their crusade towards Reynaldo sized monstrosities while phasing out smaller ring gauge vitolas!

I do love my robustos, Mag 50s, Pyramids though!

I smoke mostly a mix of lanceros, petit coronas, coronas, lonsdales, Panatellas. I'll mix in a few larger ring gauges but only for special releases.

I'm probably in the 70% range. Pyrimdes are my go to but I don't have enough Petit Cornoas and Corona Gordas in the humi at the moment. I tend to go for cigars the smoke on the 2+ hour time frame.

I wonder what he is going to do with this info, hopefully not use it to have less thinner gauge cigars produced. I smoke a lot of robustos and dcs so that will skew my stats quite a bit but is no indication I prefer large rg cigars. If you had set the cut-off to 50 then it would be 0-5% larger than that. My range however ranges from 28-50, not sure why people say they wouldn't smoke anything less than 40 or some such.

I had a bolivar especiales no 2 last night and loved it. I really wish every marca had a 38 ring guage cigar. I would own all of them. Part of my wants to track down som partagas SDC but then I could buy multiple boxes of current lanceros with the same amount of money.
