Default Re: Favorite ring, what do you like to smoke?

anything that is in the 45-50 range for me. One of my favs would be a CAO gold maduro. 5 and a half by 45. Great for a short smoke. Anything over 55 is like meh, not so much, for me anyhow.

Lanceros are too long and tend to either go out or get hot from being so thin IMO. I prefer 48 ring and above and no longer than 6". I have no need to smoke a 3 hour Churchill, ever. I very rarely smoke any 60 ring cigars, but the Miami Knuckle was tasty!

48-54 is typical for me....60 was a "novelty" that quickly wore off....that being said, lately I've been smoking some coronas, 42 ring, with very pleasing results!

I like them a little larger, around 54. They seems to burn a little cooler and a little more flavor.

Default Re: Favorite ring, what do you like to smoke?

My current favorite vitola is the panatela larga at 28 x 6.9, after smoking those for a while even Lanceros look thick at 38. I'll still smoke an occasional robusto, but most of what I smoke are coronas and panatelas.

42-50. I love robustos. 52 is starting to push it, unless it is a torpedo, or just a really good cigar that I happen to have found a deal on in that size. 56-60RG is only fun once in a long while, I don't really like the way they smoke. On the other side of the spectrum, as much as I do like the occasional lancero, I really can't smoke them all the time. They taste great, but the shape just doesn't feel as good in my hand especially at the beginning of the smoke when it is still long. I feel like I'm going to break it.

46 is perfect for me. Mostly smoke 42-48. 54 is the largest I'll smoke.

I can't stand anything much larger than a 52. 54 is pushing it unless it's a torpedo. Lately I've been dabbling with 38's and 42's. Lancero's have never seemed to let me down.

Talking Favorite ring, what do you like to smoke?

I levitate to a 50 RG faster then anything. But if the smoke is right, I'll smoke to a 46 RG but I prefer a 50 to 54.

Not really particular on a specific size in general, as I can preemptively find merits (and faults) in any given size, and would much rather base my choice of a cigar on what size I prefer the profile of in the particular line I happen to be about to smoke. Sometimes it's a larger ring, sometimes it's a smaller ring, sometimes longer sometimes shorter.

That being said, I do tend to avoid most cigars over 56RG. There are a few exceptions though.
