Favorite ring, what do you like to smoke? - Page 3

bigpedunn · 04-22-2010, 04:15 PM

Dont like to go above 50 ring.

kelmac07 · 04-22-2010, 04:28 PM

For me it's 46-50. Haven't enjoyed the lanceros (except the El Triunfador) and not a fan of fat RG sticks.

Have loved the Churchill size since I started this hobby and while I'm not adverse to smoking other sizes ( RG ) I always return to the Churchill because of the ratio of wrapper and filler gives me the best taste plus the aspect that I have that kind of time to devote to a larger cigar. If I want to taste the "wrapper" and its influence I will buy the lancero or petit size. Conversely, if its all about the filler I go with the bigger size even though I love maduro wrappers. The 'sweet spot' in the Churchill lasts longer and that is what cigar smoking to me is all about in being able to enjoy the best part of it for the longest time.

I'm all over the place with this at this point. I started out buying nothing but Robustos. Then, I began messing with the CC's and the Petite Corona has quickly become one of my favorites as well.

thebayratt · 04-22-2010, 05:52 PM

I generally go for a 50. 48-54 is my comfort area. I've had a 60, but didn't care too much for it.

maninblack · 04-22-2010, 06:07 PM

I like 50 and over. I have many 60 ring cigars. They look cool and I get more flavors out of them. But thats just me.

46-48 suits me perfectly, but I really enjoy everything below 46 as well. 50-52 I can deal with but once it gets over 52 I don't enjoy them as much and don't have too many unless it's a Figurado (Torp, Beli, Perfecto, etc.) where I can clip to my preferred size. Don't get me wrong though...I'll smoke anything...that's a cigar.

Starscream · 04-22-2010, 07:57 PM

42-50. No more, no less.

I'm in the same boat with the Figs. If I'm smoking a larger ring gauge I'll look for something like a Beli, Torp, or Pres. where it's not as jaw-busting.

I have been all over too. I started off liking the larger rings, 52-60. I was smoking nothing but NCs. Now I smoke a mix of NCs and CCs. The CCs aren't really offered in 52+ rings. So, as I began to smoke more CCs I began to enjoy many different shapes and sizes. Although I would say I don't smoke too many lanceros but there are a few I really enjoy. I mostly buy corona/pc, robusto, or torpedo/belicoso vitolas. So I guess mostly 42-52 lately.

After reading what I wrote, I'm sure that it doesn't help much...lol

Whynot · 04-23-2010, 04:09 PM

I'll try anything twice. I have no ring guage preference, just taste. I tend to prefer non-box-pressed for the simple reason that I like to spin a cigar in hand. However, there are several box-pressed that I enjoy. Basically if it taste good, I'll smoke it.

04-23-2010, 08:21 PM

i find that i like 48 to about a 54.

but i will smoke just about anything

kgraybill · 04-23-2010, 09:11 PM

I'm not too picky about RG but lately I've been choosing 52-54.

TripleF · 04-23-2010, 09:47 PM

Smaller ring guages seems to be harder to draw .......for me anyhow.
By smaller I mean Like 42 and less.....

DPD6030 · 04-23-2010, 10:28 PM

For me it's Petit Coronas, Lanceros,Coronas and sometimes Churchills.

alwayslit · 04-23-2010, 10:32 PM

Depends on my mood. I've been gravitating more toward 50rg and smaller lately.

04-26-2010, 09:52 AM

I seem to be along the same lines; 46-48 is great.

04-27-2010, 01:13 AM

Very similar to the motto of this forum, I generally smoke whatever size I am going to enjoy. I don't really have a size preference, but I find the time commitment and calming effect of a large cigar helps me to focus (study, contemplate life, etc, etc). LOVE the LGC Serie R #7 Maduro... About halfway through one right now as a matter of fact.

sofaman · 04-27-2010, 06:33 AM

Its Corona Gordo for me as well the seem to have the right wrapper to filler ratio

CigarNut · 04-27-2010, 09:16 AM

I tend to like the larger ring gauges as the smoke is a little cooler. Having said that, when I travel I usually smoke PCs because I never know how much time I will have for a cigar and I don't want to have to stop in the middle of a cigar...
