    Default My Father Le Bijou - Vitola preferences?

    Comes in 4 sizes:

    Petite Robo (4.5x50)
    Grand Robo (5.625x55)
    Toro (6x52)
    Churchy (7x50)

    I'm looking for some opinions on which size people perfer. I believe I've had the Petite robo before, and enjoyed it very much. I was wondering if other sizes do it justice? If they're all the same, I'd as soon stick with the Petite Robo.

    Thanks,
    Will

    I've had the petite robusto and loved it (thanks again James!) - I've also tried the grand robusto but the larger RG seemed to "dull" the taste and since trying the grand I've gone back to smoking more petites. Might have been related to resting time too, but the smaller RG should in theory be more flavorful. Of course I read that somewhere so I was probably biasedly (biasly?) expecting less taste.

    I don't have the patience for Churchills, or slow drivers.

    Will,
    If your sizing up interest for a box split, the PR work for me.
    If not, Iv'e only smoked the PR & toro. I enjoyed them both equally.

    Interesting on the toro / PR.

    I enjoy churchills. Nothing beats a nice long cigar while I drive incredibly slow. Preferably, during times other people are trying to get places.

    According to my notes, I had a toro. Honestly, I didn't try that. That review was just the next one I had logged.

    Still might go for the PR.
