I really don't have a favoite ring guage. A 60 is ok but big enough in my book. Anything above that is getting too big. I won't smoke 'em. Don't really know who is gonna' smoke these big'uns. Drunken frat boys? I don't think these monsters will sell very well in the long run.
I agree best way to vote is with your wallet, I recently really started liking Corona gorda, petit corona, lanceros and the very rare lonsdale, you really appreciate the flavor of the wrapper
I almost never buy anything smaller than 47 or larger than 52. The occasional lancero catches my eye, but not as a regular thing. Those gi-normous fatties you see, well, I think Bob's drunken frat boy post was on the right track.
Being relativity new to the cigar world (yr +) A lot of what I have are the Toro, Torp and Beli A buddy was looking through one of my Humi"s and pulled out a LFD lancero, looked at it and said he would be embarrased to be seen on the golf course with something like that. I just smiled, I don't have problem keeping it a little longer!
Its strange how my personal tastes and the cigar community's tastes have changed.
As I smoke more I smoke smaller and smaller cigars. Ans I go down the path I gave been smoking more and more mild cigars. The industry has been getting bigger and stronger. Getting harder and harder to find a cigar I want to buy.
I've had the Kristania 7x70 and the Asylum 13 7x70....i have the 6x80 in my humidor...they are all under 9 dollars...here anyways. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon...I just happened to enjoy them. I like bigger ring gauges...but I couldn't smoke these daily...more of a party cigar lol...and a novelty to most. Though this reminds me of that small run of Opus X cigars in the shape of footballs. I think only like 3 were made.
B&M price is always a little higher, but you have to support those guys! Especially if it's "your" B&M. As for me...50rg is the max I like.
this also goes with certain criteria...box press IMO 54-56 is ok and torpedo 56 is ok. Yeah I know what you bought and IMO way too big!! I'm a corona guy and robusto this won't change.. Torro depending on rg but on just normal rg 52 is the highest I'll go
I've smoked plenty of fattys, but I just seem to get bored with them. I enjoy the nubs which are 60rg, but that is the exception. At my local B&M you'd think they only make 60rg, cuz everyone smokes them except for me. It's like driving a Miata while surrounded by F150's.
I'm all about a good 6X60 or bigger for my time golfing. They, to me, stay lit when they roll off the cart when I forget where I put it down and I can get a solid 9 or more holes before I need to light another.
