... Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 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...
MontrealRon Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 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.
LeafLover Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 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.
M777 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I perfer pc's and cg's. I hope habanos keeps producing these forever.
Large215 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 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
armmmmm Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I enjoy the robusto, so most of my >48 rg comes from that. The rest are from LE's.
Smallclub Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 40% are 48 but I'm a big fan of the Por Larranaga Montecarlos format "Ninfa" 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.
tjohn7 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 75%. I smoke a lot of piramides, double coronas and robustos, so I'm usually on the larger RG side
Dara Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 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!
fokker4me Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 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.
bigfunkyg Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 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.
godpheonix Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 about 50%. mostly 49 and 50 ring gauges. so not much bigger.
cigardude Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 only about a 1/4, I enjoy most RG's from time to time, depends on the day/mood I guess.
ramon_cojones Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 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.
Lant63 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 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.
