A bottle of coke takes just like a can of coke.

To me, that's boring. Part of the fun is trying all the different sizes to see which one you like best.

Its the difference between the vitolas that gives each smoker the chance to find the perfect balance for his/her palate. As we are speaking primarily of long filler tobacco, it would be impossible to make each size taste the same as you can only change the blend by adding whole leaves. By homogenizing the tobacco or only using short fillers you could have the same profile across the board, but then you no longer have a premium long filler cigar. Cigars from the same brand will have a similar profile as the tobaccos are from the same bundles, but adding more leaves is bound to change the taste.

I am the same as forgop, I have a hard time detecting all of the flavors but know what I like when I smoke it! I guess that's have the battle and the FUN.

I've always had trouble distinguishing delicate flavors. But as for the differences in RG, I can taste the difference between a Serie V Lancero and a Serie V Double Robusto, but cannot notice or distiguish any difference between a Serie V Double Robusto and a Serie V Churchill. The differences are too subtle for my caveman like tastes...Meat good, Grass bad kinda thing...
