Bigger Better?

[King Catfish]

Come on then...
Does size ensure quality?...
Ha ha!!

At the risk of sounding.. ah, funny, I like the bigger ring gauges better, all other things being equal.

Nice one .. I agrree although i,me just starting out. I,ve been smoking Villiger No 7 at work in my short coffee breaks.. Any views?

I have migrated to the Toro and smaller sizes mainly although I have all sizes in my stash. Some smokes I like better in the bigger rg's, but they seem to be getting fewer and fewer. I've really gotten in a PC/corona groove lately, with a few lanceros thrown in.

It all comes down to taste. I like the perfecto shape best as the flavor changes to me more because of the shape. But I also really like the grand consul from JdN. I'm into perfecto and fat robusto's at the moment. This could change. When I started I liked churchill's and it use to take me about 2 hours to smoke one. Now I still have a churchill now and again but it doesn't take me that long. I smoke much faster and tend to to smoke 3 or more cigars at a sitting of a few hours. I also don't smoke much during the winter. About once a month, sometimes twice. During the warmer months this goes to weekly if I have time. I need to be comfortable and have time to enjoy my cigar. If I feel rushed even the best cigars will be missing for me. All of this influences me on what I like.

I'm a slow smoker, so I tend to enjoy more of the PC to Figurados during the winter. I did start off smoking churchills and toros when I got into smoking, but sometimes the flavor just stops 2 or so inches left. I can't remember nubbing anything longer other than a PAN 64 that I recently had. The rest lose their flavor profile near the end to the point I just put it out.

If you're talking about cigars, no. Quality has nothing to do with size.

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.

Thanx .. I was going to ask if cigars are enjoyed more outside in a warm climate....
