Trevor2118 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Following my recent post on Discontinued Brands, Vitolas, & Finishes (can be seen here).....I decided to look at the current range of standard cigars, but before I published it I thought it would be interesting to see everyones perception of the current range of cigars. So.....what is your perception of which group (of the various sizes of current cigars) is the largest? Consider only the current Handmade Habanos SA range of 181 cigars, ie: standard production cigars. Group 1 - up to 39 ring gauge - The Long, Short, Slim, & Small Panatelas, & Culebra Group.2 - 40 to 44 ring gauge - The Lonsdales, Long Corona, Corona, Petit Corona, & Petit Perfecto. Group.3 - 45 to 49 ring gauge - The Giant, Double & Grand Coronas, Corona Extra, Churchill, & Perfecto. Group.4 - above 50 ring gauge - All the Robustos, Pyramids, & the Double & Giant Perfectos. Please do not rush off to CCW.com to work it out (there are no prizes)....I just want your perception. Please indicate which group you think has the most number of cigars. THE RESULTS ARE NOW BEING ADDED
rckymtn22 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I would have to say Group 2 has the most number of cigars
skalls Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Group 2 sounds like it has the boat but my gut says group 3
JohnS Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I'd guess group 4. Everything new seems to be 50+ RG, and it seems that most of the deleted sizes are in the thinner sizes. Group 2 (1st) has many older releases, followed by Group 4 (2nd) with newer releases. You've summed the recent direction of new releases though.
rckymtn22 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Well guess that ends this thread no point in anyone else guessing. Thanks John
JohnS Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Well guess that ends this thread no point in anyone else guessing. Thanks John No, not at all. I assure you I'm guessing too!
rckymtn22 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Okay, seemed like you might looked it up with the 1st and 2nd in your answer. My mistake sorry.
fabes Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 My guess without checking ccw is group #2. I'm guessing that jlp's lineup helps group 2 a bit.
Lotusguy Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Standard cigars may still be group 2 but for RE and LE its group 4 for sure. Should open a new group 5 "donkey dicks"
Notsocleaver Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Group 2 on account of all the cheap and cheerfuls out there. But I wonder if Group 4 would win if we were counting total number of cigar produced rather than number of offerings. Gotta be a lot of robustos rolled between PSD4s, CoRos, RASS and all the rest.
CaptainQuintero Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Have to guess 2 due to the cheaper sub lines eg ryj cedros,tubo,numbered, mille fleur etc, Partagas, punch, Hoyo, upmann versions If we were talking about the perceived premium cigars I'd say #4 1
BonVivant Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 group 4 with all regional, ELs and special releases group 2 with current regular production
dangolf18 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Eh I'll go with group 4 but wouldn't be surprised if it were group 2. A ton of skinnies hidden within the brands (eg. Bolivar and RyJ with their tubo lines).
Scrubber Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I would guess groups 2 and 4 would be pretty close in numbers. I would lean towards group 2 but I think group 4 will take over shortly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kooser1574 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Group 4 but group 2 is a close second. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Laxman Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 My guess would be group2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
