robusto, toro, belicoso, lancero, petite corona, corona, toro grande, churchill, pyramide, torpedo, lonsdale, ummm... miss any?

If I must say though, I do really enjoy box-pressed over round cigars.

Robustos all the way. I have enjoyed some Toros as well but anything bigger than that is too long a smoke for me. 5.5" X 52 is about ideal for me.

If I must say though, I do really enjoy box-pressed over round cigars.

At a time, I almost exclusively smoked robustos and toros.
Now I just try to find whatever size I like in the particular blend.
I wish all cigars were box pressed, too. Dunno why. I think it's cause they're easier to hang on to with my teeth. More comfortable.
Little ones, like 49 ring and down, it doesn't really matter. I don't even know if there's a box press in that small of a ring?

You could order Chinese, use them as chopsticks, then smoke them after the meal. No dishes!

CC's got me to appreciate the smaller ring cigars. Before that I used to only buy 48 and up, since these were the most popular at the time and the majority of what the B&Ms carried.

Lately though, I've been reaching for something a little bigger, like a corona gorda or pyramind. I only smoke on weekends now and usually I want a cigar that will burn for at least 1.5 hrs+ My next CC box purchase will probably be something closer to 44-46.

I still don't ever go over 50. (although I did manage to find an Opus shark this year )

I go thru phases. Torpedos, Robustos, Belicosos, CGs. Right now I have to say it's PCs. I think the next stop is going to be something long and skinny.

Corona and Petite Coronas are what I probably smoke the most. Followed by robustos. I also really like the petite perfectos like AF Short Stories.

On the golf course or working in the yard I'll chomp on a Churchill.

I like corona gordas. Most of the time I smoke toros most of the time since everyone doesn't make my perferred size.

I pretty much always go for something under 44 RG, Lancero's/PLs/Coronas. Robusto's are my 2nd choice since lots of NCs don't have smaller RG sizes anymore.
