Noomis

I'm normally a pretty slow and deliberate smoker––e.g., about 1 hr. 45 min. average length for me for coronas, corona gordas, and robustos––so when I go to my smaller smokes it isn't to smoke something when I don't have the time––it already takes me about 45 - 50 min. to smoke a Padrón Corticos, which, as you know, is quite a small cigar. I make sure to allot enough time to smoke the kind of smoke I want that day––sometimes it's a double corona, sometimes it's a toro, sometimes it's a corona, and sometimes it's a demi corona. I don't always feel like sitting down and having a smoke for three hours, so I like having a variety of good quality sticks in as many vitolas as possible (not to mention the fact that the size and shape can have a great influence on the way the stick tastes). Having said all that, I rarely smoke anything with a +54 ring gauge––they're just not comfortable to smoke and hold.
