vitola, favs and least liked.

I was thinking about this the other day.
I prefer Perfectos, Robustos, Rothschild and coronas.
Torps and Toros I don't mind, but not my first choice.
While I will smoke a Lancero, I rarely ever buy them. They have to be a special cigar, like Partagas 150/160 or an L40.

There is one vitola that as much as I try, I just don't care for at all. The Salomon.
For what ever reason, I just don't like the size, which is weird, because I like perfectos and you would think that they wouldn't be too different.

So what are your likes and dislikes?

Rebirth and revamp.

No judgement, just trying to see where everyone stands. Some like big, some small, some short, some long, some pressed, some have a twist. Shaggy foot, perfecto. What are you lovin?

Good call brother! Idk what it is about box pressed but I find myself gravitating toward them. But I'd be interested to see where others stand on this topic.

52-54 in a perfect situation (sitting in the back yard on a summer night having a drink by the fire). I probably smoke too fast so that size seems to burn the best for me. I like the flavor from a corona better, but have to pay more attention. Love a lancero, but requires a lot of work and patience. Have to be in the mood. Not a big fan of pressed smokes. Not against them, but I don't get a consistent draw that I would expect.

I hate lanceros. Terrible experiences. I do love box-pressed though.

Ok... I'll be the size queen here... I prefer larger ring smokes even though they may take a longer time to smoke. I still like robustos and perfectos and the like but my preference is toro and larger ring. A much cooler smoke that fore is easier to pick flavors from.

Glad to know Vinny this makes things easier now

Lately I have been favoring the torpedo and coronas. Coronas because it is so damn cold outside but when I burn one when I have the time for some reason the torpedo has been pleasing.

For me there is not a 'one size fits all' I generally prefer a toro in the morning, a corona, lancero or robusto in the afternoon. I don't go any bigger than a 54 for the most part (there are exceptions) I really like the look and feel of the box-press but they seem to have the most burn issues for me. I would have to say that the Churchill is my least favorite, for some reason they seem 'watered down'

Folks here may not know that I like Cinco Vegas Gold. Mostly in Robust, Churchill, Toro and an occasional Nugget. Use to put the pointy ones aside and never really smoked them much. But when I was laid up supplies got really low and I started smoking them, and now I am kinda fond of them. Number 1s and Bullion's are still a bit much for me, but every once in awhile I will light one up. Like onestrangeone the larger seem to me to be watered down or just to much air comes through, maybe thinner is a good description.

Two big ones for me. Those and Lanceros would just about round it out the favorites for me.

Yeah I love a good lancero too. I actually have an Opus Power ranger lined up for tonight. Love the little belicoso.

Toro's, robusto's, and corona's are my favs. The only time I'll buy anything over a 54 rg is if the smoke only comes in that size like the illusione gigantes.

im a big fan of a the coronas grandes... about 6ish by 42ish
also a huge fan of perfectos, but so few companies have quality ones.

i have such a slow smoking style that the smaller cigars fit my time line better. and if i have more time rather than less i can always have another cigar.

im not really a fan of anything over a 52 ring, and only up to 52 if it is a tapered head like a perfecto or torpedo.
