Cigar Preferences

05-25-2011, 05:43 AM

Hi

I had a really interesting thought the other day. People usually base their decisions for smoking certain cigars based on tastes, asthetics, ratings and so on.

I was wondering what everyone here prefers more when deciding their cigars? is length more important or is the ring gauge more important?

For me the ring gauge is more important.

Whats yours!?

standard corona is my favorite, followed by corona gorda.

My favorite is corona followed by a tie between robusto and torpedo.

I Go By Shape. Torpedo Is My Favorite.

The time I have to smoke decides what I'll smoke.

Well it seems like LongKnocker prefers shape,

And everyone else prefers length?

ahhh.. mosesbotbol

time really is an important factor

When trying a new smoke I mostly go for coronas or robusto.

But like Greg said depending on time will dictate if I smoke a toro or torpedo etc.

I usually head for the Maduros first followed by the ring gauge

I don't seperate the two in my decision making, they are equally important parts of a two step process.
Step One: How long do I have to smoke? This determines the length of the cigar I will choose.
Step Two: What kind of flavor profile am I in the mood for?
This determines both the ring gauge/shape and the marca of the cigar I will choose.

pretty much anything other than a 60

I pick them by how many vowels are in the name of the cigar / marque.

Or I'd be smoking A's and Padrinos exclusively...

Like most others, there are many things that factor into my stick pickage, but to answer your specific question...usually rg is more important to me than length. They both change the flavor of a cigar, however, so it's kind of hard to separate them.

Would that be more vowels or fewer? As for myself, I like diphthongs.

When deciding what to smoke, I usually go by taste profile followed by ring gauge. And sometimes I just randomly grab something out of my death row desktop.

markem · 05-25-2011, 09:34 AM

I don't know about how others pick their smokes, but I tend to pick based on:

1. It has a flavor I am interested in
2. I have time to finish it

RG, length, etc. may go in to #1, but are not normally a standalone criterion. Mind you, sometimes on skype we'll pick a theme such as CE, lonsdale, etc. but that is more the exception than the rule.
