Large ringe gauge- 60

fuentejps

whats everyones favorites

None. I like a rg of 50 or less personally. My ideal vitola is a corona gorda (5 5/8x46) or a robusto (4 7/8x50). I also love coronas and lanceros.

While a large ring gauge does allow for faster, rougher smokers to enjoy a cigar, they tend to wash out the flavor from the wrapper, and have some serious burn issues for us slower smokers (ie. impossible to keep all 60 64ths of circumference lit without drawing more than I am used to)

That said, some very fine smokes come in these sizes

I also like smaller ring gauges most of the time, however some sticks are just better in the larger gauge.

The Oliva Series V comes to mind, and the ruinations as well. There are others but those two stand out for me. Nubs as well.

i really prefer 50 an up.

my favorite big stick is the rocky 99 vintage...i think the big ring guage in that stick is good because it enhances the flavor profile of it.....but i do like the bigger guages just in general but very rarely will buy any

t_evan50

Im a smaller guage guy as well. 46 to 50 is ideal for me.

Joeyjoe21_8

im getting more into smaller gauges ....lately i am all about 6 x 54 or something around that....5x 50 is good but i smoke it to fast

For 60 +
Gurkha Legend Perfecto &
Nubs
They're the only 60+ rings I've had that I've liked (so far). I too have discovered rings into the high 40's that I've enjoyed.....

jship079

40's and 6" and under. But it depends on the smoke sometimes the bigger ring gauges are better with some blends

YankeeMan

50 and up also.

The Graycliff G2 Turbo is probably my favorite 60 ring. It's a torpedo so while you're puffing, it feels like a 54 or less.

I really love the Perdomo Habano Connecticut in the 60ring.
The NUB Cameroon,
The Gurkha Centurian, and the list goes on and on.

Diamondog

Really looking forward to trying the Diesel Unlimited 6X60

TheDrifter

CAO Brazilia, Diesels and Gurkha Evil XOs come to mind. Just had the G2 Turbo that was good as well.

I tolerate large ring gauges if a tasty smoke only comes in sizes fat or fatter (diesel, etc.) but in general I prefer around 48. Too big and they seem to take a lot of effort keeping the wrapper lit and the draw is too loose.

If it burns well and tastes good, I don't really care about the gauge.

kos22us

i like a smaller guage simply for time issues

quix24

anything 50 and smaller

What they said. After it get's past 54 I get annoyed by it.

+1 but certain cigars are better with bigger ring gauges, Diesel Shorty and Nub Maduro still are in my tops

Joeyjoe21_8

I think one of the CAO America's come's in that ring gauge... when they get that big I just use my cigar spike to open em up

For a larger ring I smoke Nub almost exclusively. I have a couple of Diesel Shorty's in the humi but I mostly go for Nub in that format.

+2, Nub maddy is pretty good. I'm OK with most of the mid 50's I've come across. If it's a smoke I haven't tried yet I like to get a robusto (5x50) first just as a starting point.

generally speaking i like a smaller ring better. but is far asover 5 ring cigars i think the 5 vegas series A does well. i think LFD DL, CAO Italia, JdN Antano, all are good in the larger ring.

though those do well in a larger ring, i still prefer the smaller versions of them (when applicable )

Kuzi stole most of my ideas. There really aren't that many 60's to be honest. I think the CAO brazillia is that big? Thats one of my faves too. But otherwise. JDN Antano, 5Vegas AAA, and the Nubs. I haven't had it, but I bet the Cain F in the Nub size would be pretty good. The other cains.....ehhhh

rocky makes a 60 i think, el rey del mundo(if they are still out there)...

I typically like smaller ring gauges. My "sweet spot" are robustos or coronas although as many people have mentioned, certain sticks are good in larger sizes. The Padilla Miami salomon was a good stick.

Last night I had an Oliveros King Havano Black Knight which is a 6x60 box press and it was pretty darn good. I like a few big rings but have started to gravitate towards the smaller end of the spectrum lately.

fla-gypsy

I like big trucks, big cigars, big women, wait a minute, where did that come from. LOL

One of the few things cabi and I agree on. Though I do enjoy 50 and up cigars more than say 42 or so...
