I take into consideration the size of a cigar when weighing the option of whether it's worth it or not.

IMPO ( And I'd be open to constructive criticism as to whether or not this is bad cigar smoker thinking ) I do not think a manufacturer should charge as much for a 4 X 40 petite corona as they do for a 7 X 48 churchill, a 6 1/2 X 54 torpedo or a 6 x 52 toro. Yet I see it all the time.

The majority of cigar purchases these days are fat rg. The casual customer buys them over the traditional sizes. And there are ALOT more casual smokers compared to the handful of enthusiast.

Being that these fatties sell more, it keeps the cost down of the smaller rg. If each vitola was run as a seperate business line, a lancero would probably cost 2X that of a churchill.



PS... this poll is kinda strange, either you hate 60rg, or you can't get enough of them. I am willing to bet that most people fall in the middle somewhere. They certainly arent my favorite vitola, but I really love a FFP.
