Thread: Favored Cigar Length

  1. Default Favored Cigar Length

    Do y'all favor a shorter or longer length?

    At first I prefered the shorter pups, but I'm slowly enjoying the longer ones - I feel like in general I get smoother pulls and less heat from the longer cigars. Is there anything to this, or am I just imagining it? Yes, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to cigars.

    Depends on how much information I must extract during the torture session.

    I dig figurados. I love a Double Corona for the long drive and a work of art for a short one

    Shorter or longer than what exactly?

    Most obviously, longer cigars generally take longer to smoke than shorter cigars. I'm not going to pick out a Churchill for an after-lunch smoke on a work day. Similarly, I'm not going to want to take Rothschild out for an evening down the tavern.

    One day, i hope to be rich enough to buy 8" cigars (Churchills, etc.) and only smoke half of them.

    I usually smoke shorter cigars (less than 6") for a couple of reasons:

    1. time
    2. cigars still give me a head buzz (big uns knock me on my ass).

    The more different cigars I smoke the more I find myself getting away from size types. Some cigars seem better in a Robusto than a Churchill for example. But I agree some day I'm going to try a Galaxia 10x100. Thats gotta be like a whole night of drinking in a cigar.

    Depends on time, mood, even location at times. I always smoke smaller cigars when I'm fishing. Rothschild usually but sometimes a corona works.

    I voted Longer because I usually enjoy a churchill or double corona.

    4.5 to 6 inches generally. Really depends on where I am and what I am doing. If I am sitting down at the end of the day and have time to kill, or if I am with friends hanging out I prefer the longer cigars. If I am at work or do not have a lot of time to enjoy a smoke I go to the smaller smokes.

    it really depends on what i'm doing. if i'm at home, i'll usually smoke a shorter cigar. but when i'm out at the faire i'll have larger one.

    Poor options. Longer-shorter? I like the middle, give me the Robusto any day. Every fast food place has at least three drink sizes, so should this poll.
