Magnum 54, Medio Siglo, New QD........the HSA love affair with the Petit Robusto shows no sign of abating. 

Don't get me wrong. I am not panning it. I love a good Monte Petit Edmundo or HDM Petit Robusto as much as the next person. 

Is it my favourite size? Not even close.  They are proving to be very good cigars but personally I just can't come around to see them as regulars in my personal rotation. 

PC/Corona/Corona Extra/Lonsdale/Hermoso Number 4.......be there or there about's and i am but putty in their hands 

Knowing our sales figures I can see that i am in the minority.  I am quickly becoming a Dinosaur. 

if there are any other dino's out there...raise your hand. I suspect that while not exactly heading to extinction, our grazing lands are being progressively restricted. 

 

I don't agree that your sales figures put you in the minority with regard to vitola preference.  Your whole ethos is to advertise/push/sell whatever are the highest quality cigars in production at the current time.  Therefore your figures are more likely to reflect which are the best cigars currently, rather than what people want.  Case in point....we want more Cohibas, but if you look at your figures, they're probably less popular than most brands.

I must say that I have been converted (by you) to care less about the vitola, and more about the quality of production.

Among my personal top 5 cigars smoked regularly in 2016 were two polar opposites dimensionally, the 40 RG HDM du Prince and the 54 RG Trinidad Vigia. Various Churchills, DCs, Lonsdales, Genios, PC and Minutos round out the rotation. At the right time, a wham-bam-thankyou-ma'am Parti Shorts is the best cigar I own. Other times, it's a Connie A, an 8-9-8 or a CORO. A great cigar is a great cigar and, except at the extremes, size is not a major factor.

OK -  Liopleurodon, then.

Last chance mate. Liopleurodon is a plesiosaur and a reptile, not a dinosaur. You need to do some reading.

While I say this, so do I to be honest. 

I take my kids to the museum here in Brisbang all the bloody time, and I knew there was a new display coming up. 

Now, as I pride myself on my dinosaur knowledge, since I was a kid, and it was only a few weeks ago that I was put to shame by a tiny 4 year old. 

I was very excited to see the new display first hand, and as I see it in the distance, I am trying to pick out what the skeleton was.

And I start to guess and explain it to my kids. As we are about 30 metres away, this little 4 year old boy came blazing around the corner at an incredible speed. 

Like he was running the curve of the 200 metres in the Olympics, he had an epic lean on him with one hand stretched out and pointing, and shouting... 

"LOOK MUM IT'S A GALLIMIMUS!!!!"

I turn around and his mum and sister are a good 50 metres behind us. 

W get to the plaque, and the little bastard was totally correct.

Don't feel too bad. The kid was probably a big fan of the game ARK: Survival Evolved.
