I voted corona, Rob. Don't mind the drunken idiot joke posts!

Oh no... I was rather enjoying the Banter... No harm no foul, and I have a new size I need to try...

Mostly robusto for me due to the heat of AZ or simply time. If I have the time I will pick up a toro and with things cooling of around here I will get more of them in.

Most of the time I smoke churchills, but I also smoke a large number in a size that I didn't see on the list. The double corona at 7 X 50.

I went Robusto due to time flavor, and price it works best for me

Coronas for me, but RG is the big thing for me. Anything over 50 takes a backseat.

Big Maduro · 10-14-2012, 10:16 PM

I tend to go with a Toro size for most of my cigars. I don't smoke a lot and when I do I like to spend a good long relaxing time with it.

Why do you ask?

Seems to assume that most BOTL here would be willing to be pigeonholed for no apparent reason. I do understand that many generally prefer over/under a certain RG. But so much can go into choosing a cigar size - I don't see the reason for collecting the data here. Its just that differening RG's can change a cigar so dramatically -- finding the sweet spot for me for any particular blend is kind of fun. Factor in that time available to smoke will often influence chosen length.
The day I decide that I should stick with Robs, for examaple, is the day my caring about flavor and complexity dies a little bit.

Dave, I think it is more a casual curiosity about what folks like than it is about "collecting data"

You're, of course, right, Peter. I may be on the rag a bit today...just getting a little impatient with some of the (somewhat mindless?) drivel here (even the OP seemed to acknowledge that he was more interested in kicking out a thread in 5 minutes than trying to include important choices) -- I'll go back to working at ignoring threads I don't 'enjoy'. I did think that I had points to make about restricting oneself to a certain size, but could have chosen better way to make them.

No problem, Dave.

We all, at times, post mindless drivel. Hopefully, it is the exception and not the rule.
