Big ring stogies
 

I was chatting to a fellow who was keen on the name sake of this forum - the Asylum 80.
I'm not certain an 80 ring gauge makes sense, but - what do you guys think of these cigars? Sounds like overkill ???:su

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Gimmick?

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Sorry, my comment was in regard to an 80 ring gauge. Not the asylum :)

Re: Big ring stogies
 

The trend is definitely towards larger RG cigars. While they may not suit the average Asylum smoker, if you look around at any cigar shop, most guys are smoking big cigars. A few years ago 60RG was a huge smoke, today they are common place. Recently, several manufacturers have come out with 70's are they are selling. Even Habanos SA has marked the trend by rolling it's largest stick ever, a 58RG. :sh

Re: Big ring stogies
 

The 60 ring gauge are typically not my favorite, I've seen some 70 rg cigars before but not 80. I think they in large part are playing on the idea that most consumers will think that more inherently equals better cigar or better value. I'm not saying there aren't great big rg smokes, I just usually steer clear.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Definitely a gimmick and common denominator play. I like a few of the Kristoffs but the local B&M only carries the toro 6.5 x 56. In my humble opinion, anything over 50 is uncivilized and possibly vulgar.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I am holding out for a 90, hopefully something in maduro by NUB.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Ive got an 86rg (i think) cigar i can send yas. its even in the shape of a bullet, you'll love it :ss

A review would be necessary of course :tu

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Kind of on topic - I have not been in the cigar game long enough to answer this myself -

But what is the difference in say a 60 rg to a 40 rg or smaller in terms of flavour? Would the same cigar taste noticeably different in different sizes?

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I would review how I froze it and threw it at my neighbor's head, Ben. :tu

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Some opine that different wrapper to filler/binder ratios change flavor. I tend to agree in many cases.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Femur. 10x133. $70.00. You should say something.

Oh jiggler I just thought of something really evil and funny! :noon

Re: Big ring stogies
 

So many different ways to go with this....

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Tom me too a Barber Pole maduro and candela yum!

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I guess I'm vulgar for smoking a 54 ring gauge then. Works for me. I like being a knuckle dragger.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I smoke Femurs daily.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I like quite a few cigars that are 54 rg, but I'm from the south and we're pretty uncivilized

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Me too. They are an easy 8 hour smoke.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

We're all surprised you LSM folk have computers.
All day erry day.
I don't have a problem with larger RG. If it's hype, so be it.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

With a 50 cal Browning? Smoke some Tibias too like that! ;s

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I will be throwing away my Behike 52s as soon as I get home.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I like big things.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

How dare you associate me with those clowns

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Would you expect anything less? :)

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Looks like I'm going dumpster diving tonight, but nobody should be surprised because I'm pretty uncivilized

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Good point. I'm sorry, Tony. I won't do it again.

Last I checked you smoked Petite Coronas. The opposite end of the spectrum.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

:lr :lr

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Us Jersey folks are too, I guess... Seeing as I am over the 50 RG limit :banger

Re: Big ring stogies
 

You're from Jersey aka America's armpit. ;)

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Know what's nice about NJ? Nothing.

I don't know why people never bring up any of the other goofy sizes. Large RG always get brought up.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Uncivilized and vulgar I am, indeed! :D

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Should I buy a new monocle?

Re: Big ring stogies
 

If they made a cigar the size of a tank barrel I would smoke it. And Kevin would shove it.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I'll buy you one.
They make one bigger. It's $175,000, bigger than a Car.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Must be nice to have that much cash to waste.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Maybe someone who is more uncivilized can buy one, set fire to it, blow smoke in a jar then send it to me. I want to know what excellence smells like.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I never see these goofy styles brought up:

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Or that much tobacco...wonder how many boxes that could make... :hm

Probably a ton of lancero, corona, and thin RG sized ones

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Those are pretty HTF

Re: Big ring stogies
 

HTF and dumb.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

HTF and dumb and bad. I think it's halfwheel's worst scored review.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

$40 for that. Come on man.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

It's a 58 ring guage...that explains everything!

Re: Big ring stogies
 

So Brian, you going to join the LSM lackies? I heard they'll let anyone into their 'gang'. :D

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Ain't that far South yet, buddy. Nor that big of a knuckle dragger as those clowns.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I started big and am slowly going smaller. As I slow down with my smoking I am finding that the big ring smokes just take more time than I usually have and I hate being wasteful. I think biggest Ill probably go would be a 60 ring and that is if I have 2-3 hours to kill. Prefer 42-52 now days.
