...and tell us all your favorite or the most enjoyable smoke in the categories of (minimum ring size 43):

1. Mild Smoke

2. Medium Smoke

3. Full Smoke

Porch Dweller · 02-09-2014, 10:36 AM

Mild's an easy pick for me, Carlos Torano Reserva Selecta Robusto.

The other two are tough because they change often. Today I'd say Herrera Esteli Short Corona and Liga Privada T52 Robusto. Ask again six months from now and the answer will probably be different.

Sadden · 02-09-2014, 11:09 AM

1) Mi Dominicana Lancero

2) Padron Thousand Series Lancero (natural)

3) Cain F Lancero

That was easy

kelmac07 · 02-09-2014, 12:38 PM

This week...

1. Mild Smoke: El Rey De Mundo Maduro Robusto Grande
2. Medium Smoke: 601 Blue Maduro
3. Full Smoke: DPG Series JJ Maduro Belicoso

timj219 · 02-09-2014, 01:06 PM

Mild - Cabaiguan corona extra
Med - Oliva O
Full - Kristoff GC Signature

At least some of these will be different if you ask again in a few months

RobR1205 · 02-09-2014, 03:52 PM

I'm in the same boat, brother. Also, I just realized what your user name was and couldn't help but think of, "We're going streaking!"

T.G · 02-09-2014, 07:40 PM

Can't. They're all 42RG.

Yup...skipping scores of wonderful cigars with a RG restriction.

mikesr1963 · 02-10-2014, 05:07 PM

Feel free to start a thread for 42 ring size or smaller cigars. I, personally, don't like the smaller ring sizes. My favorite range is 43 to 52 and I'm looking for suggestions to try.

Out of pure curiosity, how long you been smoking cigars for, brother? I too, usually prefer the larger formats, but do love a good Panatela or Lancero on occasion. Just wondering because my taste and liking for different ring gauges has changed a lot since starting. Not sure if yours has too.

mikesr1963 · 02-11-2014, 12:08 PM

I discovered when I quit smoking at 23 that smoking dulls the taste buds a great deal. Since I've picked cigars back up I am not going to smoke so often as to let that happen again. I'm staying away from anything that may be a quick smoke and could turn into a more often smoke. I smoked cigars for 7 years before I stopped at 23. I was in the military at 19 and got to enjoy a good variety of smokes. I love tasting a cigar with a clean palate.

I was just reading this thread to figure out what y'all think is light-medium-heavy.
That list there I can relate to. Maybe put a Bolivar Belicosa in the middle instead.
I'm having a hard time remembering non-cubans:
Light- Not fond of these
Medium- AF Hemmingway
Heavy- San Cristobal
