Favorite Vitola? - Page 2

My favorite changes frequently. Depends on the time of day, activity, and mood.

Anything from a TPC with morning coffee to a DC cutting the grass, works.

Corona, Robusto, Belicoso, Toro. Not a fan of Lanceros at all.

I am with you Doug, except I like the lanceros

Corona, Belicoso and Lancero for me

Subvet642 · 07-16-2013, 10:59 AM

I like the smaller stuff: Petit cetros, Standards (4 3/4 x 39), Marevas and Creamas.

Robusto and Coronas Gordas

I'm shocked that 2-pages in there's not a single preference for larger ring gauges! I find the larger ring gauges burn cooler and smoother allowing me to smoke much closer to the nub before picking up harshness and pitching. I'd take a 4x60 over a 7x38 in the same brand/blend any day of the week... same smoke time but cooler, smoother, and the ability to smoke much deeper into the stick.

I don't know why but there is something special about lanceros, they seem almost magical. Even though I have had better tasting vitolas, the lancero remains my favorite. This was the case with NCs and holds true now with CCs.

Don't know if I am the only one who feels this way, I never really thought about it before today.

The smaller RG cigars are more difficult to blend, and to roll. The quality of leaf I would think has to be higher all around to get the blend to deliver with fewer leaves. Since they are also harder to roll, I would imagine that only the better torcedors in the factory are rolling them.

So, I would agree with your perception of lanceros, and smaller rg cigars in general.

Corona, Robusto, and Toro are the sizes I find myself seeking out most often.

bstarrs · 07-17-2013, 12:29 PM

I would have to say its a tie between a Robusto and a Corona Gorda, though I do always enjoy petit coronas and minutos for cc's

Simple1 · 07-17-2013, 12:32 PM

I'm a fan of anything around a 40 rg.

07-17-2013, 01:20 PM

Robusto and corona

systm · 07-17-2013, 02:39 PM

Lancero is by far my favorite, the rest in no particular order: Churchill, Petite Corona, Robusto, Corona Gorda.

Heavy_d · 07-17-2013, 03:45 PM

Coronas and toros seem to be my favorite sizes. I enjoy a Churchill every now and then, but with the heat and mugginess we're having, I almost hate to spend 2+ hours on the porch during the day.
