Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Not for me... they are just too big and I start to get bored with a cigar by the midpoint of a 6x60... I tend to like smaller sized cigars the most.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

You...complete me.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Why, thank you. :banger

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I enjoy an occasional 60 ring cigar; Taboo HSG Toro Grande (older ones), Oliva V, Coronado. In fact, in the Coronado, the larger ring gauge sticks are much better (my personal opinion) and more complex than the smaller ring gauge.

I am however more into the PC size on a regular basis.

The key I found to enjoying a larger ring gauge cigar like this is not to try and hold it in your mouth

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I have yet to buy a 60 RG cigar and the ones I have been gifted I have not enjoyed at all. It just isnt in my wheel house. Now I dont mind that the manufactures are making them just dont stop making the thinner ones. Some of these newer manufactures I would love to support but I do not enjoy anything over a 54. Its not comfortable to smoke for me.

I have actually sold off or traded my entire collection for DE eggs. I think I will pretty much only smoke those and AF footballs from now on... especially since the footballs are so easy to find....

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I really enjoy the Padron 64 #4, which is 6.5X60, it has a box press so does not feel as big, but not exactly a fan of the 60rg sticks the MUWAT I assume I would enjoy given that I really like the baitfish but so far just the PAM #4 which I enjoy quite a bit

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Nope

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

They're not usually my favorite, hard to keep lit and uncomfortable in the mouth. But I still like 'em just because they're fun.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

That's never been a problem for me. 1: I only do a punch-worth's cut of the end and 2: The only time a cigar is near my mouth is when I'm drawing from it. I've never been one to have a stogie hanging from my craw.

I wonder if that's why some people have issues with them. I guess it's fairly easy to let a PC take up residence in your pie hole. I'd venture it's safe to say a super toro would be a little awkward.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I agree... they are a a lot to just keep hanging, but I enjoy chewing on them a bit which reduces the RG a bit... most that I have had are loosely packed so this poses no problem to the draw...

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I've never thought about it that way, I never hold cigars in my mouth either. I haven't ever understood how anyone could have a problem smoking the bigger cigars. If you want to let it hang from your mouth though, I see how it could be a problem..

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Same with the above posters. I hold my cigar in my hand until draw time, and usually only place the cigar just inside of my lips.. Never really to the teeth or past the teeth. Feels awkward to have any sized stick residing in my mouth to where my tongue can touch it. What do I know though, right? I'm just a newb. :-D

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

i normally look for corona or robusto smokes... but I do like the extreme sizes on occasion, from a lancero to a jaw breaker.

I do love the Liga FFP. -(P

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I prefer the 60 ring myself. Oliva V Double Toro is an amazing cigar, but to each their own, eh?

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

+1 sir. I agree on the Oliva V, one of my fav's but not to everyone's taste.
Thanks

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Large ring gauge cigars are generally bland.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I've been digging some short 58-60g torpedoes lately... the Nub 358 Cameroon and Nestor Miranda Special Selection Natural come to mind... both are 4 x 58 and torpedo, so not quite the same effort required as a round-cap 6x60.

5"-5.5" and 54-56 RG seems to be my sweet spot... I can still burn most within an hour, or at least far enough down that I don't feel wasteful, and they burn a bit cooler than most equivalent 50 RGs. I still smoke mostly 50 RG Robustos since 90% of my smoking is done on an hour lunch break, but I tend to enjoy the 54-56s a bit more when I have time.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Too big for my taste. When I started this great hobby, I went for Churchills thinking more bang for my buck. Now that I've been smoking for a number of years I'm liking Lanceros and that ilk.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Wouldn't buy one....of course, maybe I did, I bought a lot of RyJ Dukes.
Not sure what they are.....big is one thing.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Had one, and it was my first and last. A couple years ago I had a Camacho Triple Maduro.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

Pardon 7000 Maduro...... :banger:banger

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I smoke the big fellas occasionally, but it's gotta be a great smoke with the vitola proven. The La Sirena 6x60 nc is a very good medium smoke...and the prices are falling. I can't handle a full-bodied behemoth....cuz I'm a ***** :)

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

The majority of cigar purchases these days are fat rg. The casual customer buys them over the traditional sizes. And there are ALOT more casual smokers compared to the handful of enthusiast.

Being that these fatties sell more, it keeps the cost down of the smaller rg. If each vitola was run as a seperate business line, a lancero would probably cost 2X that of a churchill.

:2

PS... this poll is kinda strange, either you hate 60rg, or you can't get enough of them. I am willing to bet that most people fall in the middle somewhere. They certainly arent my favorite vitola, but I really love a FFP.

Re: 6x60s - are you a fan?
 

I'm a lancero and lonsdale kinda guy, but some blends are better in the toro and Churchill sizes, anything over 52 (which is pushing it for me) I feel some of the flavors are lost, just my opinion
