Talking New to cigars, want to find biggest ones

Hi all, I'm new to cigars and want to find out if I like the biggest ones out there. What biggest cigars you've ever encountered? (If you know two the same length which had the bigger gauge?and vice-versa)

Puros Indios Chief. 18" long, over an inch in diameter (66RG iirc). It'll keep you busy for a while.

hell at 18" long you could beat someone to death with your cigar... turn your head too rapidly and light someone on fire...


I started out loving the big sticks, 6 x 60 was my sh!t, more cigar for the money and they are always cheaper on bid sites... but as time progressed the fellas here got me straightened out... bigger isn't always better... I have had huge cigars taste like nothing, and itty bitty (by comparison) petite coronas knock my socks off...

If you like biga$$ cigars, more power to ya brother, but coming from another still semi-noob... if you havent checked out the world of "smaller cigars" you don't know what you are missing...

Finding the biggest cigars is not a fair comparison to the newb smoker as the largest cigars have alot of filler and you are missing the true taste of the cigar which are found in the smaller rg's but that is my opinion.

Still got a LFD Digger in my humi. 8.5 x 60. Just waiting for that perfect 4 hours to fire it up. I figure it will take me 3 to smoke it and the extra hour before I can get out of my chair.
