Let's talk vitola

[Large215]

Why are all the good sizes going away or have been discontinued I'm not a fan of big rings I'm at the Point that 54 is the biggest but I'm not happy with it...

Ninfas... Laguito No. 1... Panetelas Largas... Laguito No. 2 ....Lonsdale

all need to come back in regular production in my opinion 50 should be the biggest there not There's not enough flavor in big cigars tell me what you guys think

Thanks dave

My favorite is the corona gorda, and I'm glad there is a fairly abundant selection.

And you'd think a guy named large would love big rg sticks

Corona gorda is the king size for me. I smoke lots of pcs and minutos as well. Love my 05 CoLa and lanceros in general. Lonsdales all day and night long. However I hold fair amount of robustos too. Biggest rg is 54. Yes Behikes. I am fine up to 50 lets say 52 to include Coni A and HURR as well. All above is unconfortable and dont like it. Minus torpedos. The shape makes it more handy. Going down in RG not a problem. Love ERdm Demi Tasse. Smoking them quite a lot actually. Lately I would smoke 3 demi tasse instead of any 50+ rg...

Hermoso #4 is the biggest RG that I'll purchase. My sweet spot is typically 42-46 though.

I like the ring to length ratio of the Corona Gorda, so I also enjoy Churchills and PC's, kind of different variations on that common/similar ratio. That said, I still enjoy me some robusto action, and a few of the mega fatties (Siglo VI, Party Series E Number 2) are my fail-safe cigars in particularly muggy climates.

I love Lanceros, dalias, minutos, Corona Gordas, laguito no 2, and many other small ring guage cigars. But anyone who says 54 ring guage cigars don't have flavor needs to go smoke an Edmundo Dantes 54. Best cigar I have ever smoked. The sublime size is one of my favorite violas as well.

I live in a fairly dry climate so I hardly ever have to deal with humid conditions. It's interesting that you say the bigger boys do better in humid environments. I've heard from others to stick with thinner sticks when humid. You seem to be on the opposite side of that argument. I'm curious to hear about your experiences, or anyone others for that matter.

I wouldn't say there isn't enough flavour in big cigars, I just find them too uncomfortable to smoke. My preference is for 50 and under (but I can live with 52), anything above that and it really starts to affect my enjoyment of the cigar.

I would love to see some skinnies come back though, there is clearly a market for them as so many people mourn their loss, but obviously more money is to be made from fatter cigars

I will agree that the Conde is exceptional, I've had a BHK 10' that was out of this world to, as well as the San Chris Orielly that was phenomenal.....I like small RG and big RG not offer very good characteristics. My least favorite size cigar is a Robusto, no idea why.

I agree, my least favorite size is a robusto. I just feel that a cigar of that width needs more length to it. The sublime feels great in the hand in my opinion. As does the 6x50 punch super robusto.

I am all about the world of max of 46 ring gauge and prefer 40-42....Lonsdale, Corona, PC, Minuto and such...

But we are talking about a lost cause. There must be more money are marketing or some reason the small sticks are going going done.

For me it is not only a fit issue but the cost is great.

[Mckucci]

I'm not a fan of larger ring gauges either. 46 gauge is typically the largest I'll go. my ideal vitola has to be a Lancero, which I'm finding increasingly more difficult to find these days.... especially in Canada...

[Guest gerlinan]

Add me to this list as well. I love smoking a Trinidad Fundadores. I think thicker ring gauge cigars are a fad and will pass in a few years to the next "hot topic" whatever that may be.
