    If you're talking about cigars, no. Quality has nothing to do with size.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    It's funny, I've noticed a lot of el cheapo cigars are rolled in some pretty large sizes...almost like they were compensating for something

    If big RG's float your boat then try out the Inmenso by Perdomo. My jaw hurt after that one.

    Anyways, right now i am on somewhat of a figurado kick, don't really know why. I have also been smoking a lot of coronas and PC's lately.

    You can tell quality and flavor no matter how it's packaged. One of the elders here said it best: "Smoke what you like." Makes sense to me.

    I too have migrated to quicker smokes. Time is at a premium right now. Why bother to light one up if I can't enjoy the experience at my leisure.

    You must have a lot of interesting cigars available in England that aren't necessarily available here in the old US of A. What kind of cigars do you find in the ol' British B&M's??

    Absolutely not. I like bolder, more medium-full cigars, and typically the smaller ring guage cigars fit that bill because of the amount of ligero used relative to other tobacco used in the roll.

    Try a Trinidad Reyes or Ramon Allones Small Club Corona, then try a larger ring guage. I think you'll find the majority of the time the smallers pack a larger punch.

    The larger cigars are more macho I guess, if that's your thing.

    I'd say that the monty Edmundo (52) is a great smoke, but I also favour some smaller guage cigars, like the SCdlH El Principe, Cuaba Divinos, RASCC, Part Short and even the Fonseca Cadettes.
    I thought it was a tampon joke!
