Favorite Vitola

emopunker2004 · 03-31-2011, 04:01 AM

So, I've come to the conclusion that my overall favorite vitola is a corona. Not sure why exactly, I just find myself gravitating toward this particular size more often. So, what's you favorite vitola?

Lumpold · 03-31-2011, 04:03 AM

Lancero, followed swiftly by figurado

Patrick B · 03-31-2011, 04:22 AM

Corona here, too. Best flavor of almost any blend I like. Tatuaje Noella comes to mind as a great example of this.

It's hard for me to zero in on one. I'd say depending on how much time I have either pc, robusto, toro or lancero.

Bunker · 03-31-2011, 04:39 AM

It is more of a ring gauge thing for me with 42-48 being the sweet-spot.

My current favorite smoke is the Tatuaje Havana Cazadore.

There was a time that I didn't like anything south of 50 in ring gauge, but then I realized it was just because I was smoking lousy cigars.

As I moved up towards the top shelf I realized I enjoy the smaller ring gauges much more

I find myself smoking mostly robustos, but love a good figurado. I also tend to enjoy corona, petite corona, corona gorda, lancero, dalias. Hell, if it tastes good I smoke it, just not much north of about 50 rg, preferable in the mid 40's.

quantim0 · 03-31-2011, 05:53 AM

Somewhat in order: corona gorda, corona, bellicoso, lonsdale, petite corona, lancero

03-31-2011, 06:11 AM

Corona and Figurado for sure. I've been smoking alot of Tat Hermosos and Noellas...something about the 42-46 ring gauge that I prefer. I can't remember the last time I had a churchill size or anything over 7 inches other than an Anejo #48 which was delicious.

kelmac07 · 03-31-2011, 06:35 AM

Belicoso, Robusto, Toro, Corona...in that order. Just learning to SLOW DOWN and enjoy lanceros.

lbowles2 · 03-31-2011, 07:00 AM

I love me a good corona. Like others said I don't really like em too far north of 50 rg.

MurphysLaw · 03-31-2011, 07:04 AM

If I had to pick a favorite I'd probably go with corona as well, and I rarely buy anything above a 50rg.

RevSmoke · 03-31-2011, 07:27 AM

Just one size? Pick just one? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Depending on day, how much time I have, what flavor I am looking for, what mood I am in, who I am with, whether I am outside in the wind or not, what did I just eat, what am I drinking, etc...

It might be:
Petite Corona
Robusto
Double toro
Churchill
Toro
Lancero
Panatela
et...

Whatever is in my humidor is one of my favorites.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

SteveH · 03-31-2011, 07:36 AM

Bellicoso and Lonsdales. I've really started to get into some of the smaller RG stuff; trying to understand wrapper differences better.

03-31-2011, 08:31 AM

perfecto, toro, and then corona

Frodo · 03-31-2011, 08:40 AM

I'd have to say lonsdale but they are rarely sold on the resale market...

I couldn't word it much better myself. I always seem to gravitate towards the robust size but I'm not one to limit myself

. Not a huge fan of this new huge RG trend. Not sure why everyone wants to stick something that size in their mouth... just saying'

Skywalker · 03-31-2011, 08:52 AM

It depends on the cigar and the moment. If I'm going to watch a two hour movie then a nice churchill works best.

If I'm in it for the flavor and complexity of the cigar a nice lancero or corona works for me.

icehog3 · 03-31-2011, 08:59 AM

No love for the mareva?

cobra03 · 03-31-2011, 09:02 AM

Anything under 50 RG unless its a belicoso

Dunkel · 03-31-2011, 09:18 AM

Robusto, Corona Gorda, Toro ,Belicoso and Corona in that order. Can't understand why Lanceros are so popular, but different strokes I reckon.
