fitzy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 So now that we've discussed ring gauge now it's time to talk about length. It seems there's been an increase in shorter cigars like petite robusto's. So what's your preferred length in a cigar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 I generally prefer around 5" to 6" CIGARS but sometimes I like shorter smokes like a Bolivar Corona's Junior. I rarely find myself smoking 7" plus length cigars with the exception of a couple lancero's as generally they smoke too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck14 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Unless time is a factor, any CC regular production cigar length is fine by me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmpotocek Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The length of my cigars is trending shorter and and shorter. I’ve become a much slower smoker since I started, and I’ve found a robusto to be plenty long for me. I also smoke a fair amount of petite edmundo. Compared to 2+ years ago, it was all double robustos, sublimes and torpedos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Purely time dependent for me. I have everything from Monte A's down to Party shorts. I don't typically smoke more than one cigar in a sitting, so I reach for something that will take me close to the amount of time I have. Its one of the many reasons I love the Montecristo lineup, you can step up in 10 minute increments from 35 or 40 minutes all the way to 2.5+ hours and still get a relatively consistent profile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLFIRST Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The RA CORTO is my favorite cigar by far. I do have a major problem with it being a petite robusto because they are gone so quickly. It wouldn't bother me as much if they'd made more than 2000 boxes! I did get 4 of them and enjoyed each and every one but alas. They are no more!

I’m really looking forward to them. I’ve also smoke much slower/cooler now than I did before. i should have added a 4th option for no preference. Not sure if I can edit the poll.

Hammer Smokin' Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 as I like smaller RG's (42-50), I prefer a longer cigar length. >6" for me. (however, if I'm in a 48 to 52 RG, I'll take that 5"-5.5" length) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabloJr Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It all depends like many have stated prior. I do like to only have one cigar at a sitting/setting. So for the herf I attended a couple weeks back I had a Lusitania which lasted nearly my entire time there.

Philc2001 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It's a time dependent matter for me. I love it when the cool weather makes it comfortable and easy to enjoy a 2 1/2 hour cigar (laguitos, DCs, churchills), like the Trinidad Fundadores I had a few days back, or the Lusitanias I had this past weekend. But when the heat and mosquitos come, I look for the cigars I can smoke in much less time, however even tthen I still favor the long and skinny ones over the short fat ones (belvederes, cremas, palmitas, almuerzos), so most of the time it's 5 to about 6 1/2 inches. I keep a few entreactos on hand, like the RyJ Petit Julietas, which are just under 4" for those times when I can only get 20-30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsAnole Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 For me 5.5 is the perfect length, +/- .1, in almost every RG. I really don’t like the shorter PRs. Love a DC but not everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman64 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Weather is a big factor for me; only a few months when it's not freezing or sweltering. So, the long sticks are saved for late spring and early autumn; and even then, for the weekends. Perhaps when I retire further South from here (in USA), things will change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDGSN Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I find a lonsdale/898 size is the ideal cigar in both length and RG, but I most often pull out marevas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etakmit Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'm generally a robusto - toro fan. so 5-6" for me. preferably 5ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Largest cigar I'm truly comfortable smoking is a Dalias--maybe a Genios, Julieta 2 or a Hermosos No. 1 if I'm really pushing it. Double Coronas (Prominentes) are just too big for me. My ideal and favorite vitola is Franciscos (44 x 143) followed by a Laguito No. 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayepatz Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I really love Lonsdales and Churchills. If I reach for a shorter smoke, it’s usually a Petit Corona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 The Corona Gorda is my favorite viola. I choose cigars based on the amount of time I have to smoke and recently I’ve begun to prefer to smaller cigars, say a PP and a PLPC, to a DC. But, truth be told, I love them all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLFIRST Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 One of the best boxes of Habanos I've smoked in the past 10 years were a full box of ERDM Demi Tasse from 06. (Need to get into drive to find pics.) They had some of the best true, greatly aged, and vintage Cuban tobacco I've ever smoked. Still doesn't beat a Party SDC 1 from 99, best cigar I've had the pleasure to indulge in. :^}Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
