Help Settle a Discussion : If You Had To Pick Two Vitolas

[earthson]

A cajon of RASCC, HUPC, PLMC or Sancho Non Plus? A cab of Trini Reyes (with 48 cigars, naturally)!?

You better shush, teasing me so!

Always loved the Laguito #2. Just feels the best in my hand and I love the long 38 RG.

I always think an ERdM Laguito #2 would be awesome! Maybe one day...

[maxcjs0101]

I have a thing for larger (50rg and above, toro/gordo) but somehow i seldom smoke them and only like keeping them.

Anything above a robusto (5"x50rg) usually gives me the spins but from time to time i would still purchase some big rg sized cigars, usually non cubans just because i like them.

Yeah im weird.

[skalls]

Just two? Lonsdale and robusto.

[David88]

If I could only choose two vitolas they would be petit corona and corona gorda. I feel like they would suit my average smoking time and my preference for a RG below 50. They would offer me a shorter smoke and slightly longer for when I have enough time and there are some very high quality petit coronas and corona gordas to choose from.

[SCgarman]

Robustos and Petit Coronas

[Habana Mike]

Panatelas and Coronas/CG/Dalias all day long and I buy a little more than 2 boxes a month!

[Bartolomeo]

Buy more than two boxes a month

Voted...Robusto and Piramide.....based on time to smoke and size

[mcease022]

Robusto and corona grande or corona gorda for me.

[LLC]

Can't vote from my phone but if I was limited to two it would be Corona Gorda for sure and a properly rolled Lonsdale.

X2. Exactly what he said for me.

Like a Robusto or Belicoso tossed in every once in awhile and every very great while I go for a Churchill or Double Corona.

[BonVivant]

It is amazing - no vote

[JoeyGunz]

PC's & No.2's

I could live with that, quite happily.

[Blazer]

As usual, I'm an outlier. I prefer long & short skinnies.

[irratebass]

I'm right at a box a month

I voted for HC/PC

Not sure what Dalia is, so not sure I voted correctly, but I have to go with what David & Zeedubbya said.

[PapaDisco]

So this is a survey about ring gauge preference? That seems like the closest thing those poll pairings have in common?

Practically, I stock up the most with Corona Gordas, second place is a tie between Churchills and Double Coronas, and then about 1/3 of my purchases are a broad sampling of everything else.

I'm a sucker for the Asia Pacific regional releases and will try any of those regardless of vitola.

If I had to pick two vitolas they would be standard ring gauge, specifically 42/64ths of an inch, the perfect ring gauge, in my humble opinion. Coronas, coronas extras, dalias and petit coronas...alas, we don't see enough of them, sadly!

I think I speak for a few of us here in saying that I have purchased cigars in vitolas which I wouldn't have if I had a choice. For example, Diplomaticos No.2 have sold out the last few times when listed on 24:24. However, if the Diplomaticos No.4 and No.5 were around (both discontinued in 2010), at the very least, then I probably would have got these instead.

This doesn't mean these are the only two vitolas I purchase, rather, they are what I prefer.

Not sure I could agree more or have said it any better. John, I will ride with ya anywhere! We tend to agree on "all things cigars".

[Sophistic]

Laguito 1 & 2

[Lotusguy]

Where's the ">10 boxes per month" option

[ErikB]

PCs and Robustos

[joeypots]

PCs and Churchills.

[ChefBoyRG54]

would have been easier for me to decide if Robusto and Robusto extra were in one group and then Dalias and similar in another, but based on my recent prefernce i voted Robo and the Robo extra group where the Dalias group was on the fringe.

My go to as of late has been Robusto, however im not a huge fan of petit robo.

[archosaur]

If I only had to pick ONE, it would have been corona/corona extra/dalia all the way...but since there were two on the list, I went with panetela (love the skinnies) and belicoso/pyramid. To me, a laguito #1/#2 is essentially equivalent to a lonsdale/corona, so I would look to the panetelas to cover my parejo needs while keeping some figurados in the mix too.

Incorrectly or not, I just think of the pyramid as such a classic Cuban cigar shape. I think I would miss them too much.

[Oldmso54]

Petit Corona is without a doubt my favorite size. And anything with a RG between 36 & 40 is just fine too!

[Colt45]

Had I my own cigar company, I'd start with a corona and branch out from there - it might just be the perfect all around size. Love CGs / CEs, Churchills, Dalias (and really, all the similar formats), PCs. Parejos. The Carlota - some years back, I always thought I'd love a Bolivar Carlota. After reading this discussion and thinking about it, I think a Hoyo, Upmann, or even Montecristo Carlota might be even more interesting.

And since we're talking about it, in what world is a robusto more of a "short churchill" than a corona gorda?
