I'm looking at getting a box of DPG blue labels but can't decide on a size.
These are the ones I'm looking at:
Delicias (7x50)
Exclusivos (9x48)
Imperiales (Torpedo 6x52)

Please help me out here.

Imperiales (Torpedo 6x52) :-)

The lanceros are, by far, the best vitola. Followed by the Exquisitos (corona) then the Preferidos (petite corona).

Out of those sizes you listed, the Imperiales. Check out the Magnates if you really want a long smoke.

WOW! I think I love you:-)

I'm blushing. :-)

Couldn't agree more about the lancero, but I can't find the darn things.
I was kinda leaning toward the Exclusivos (9x48)... no good?
[Reply]

Yeah, I meant the Exclusivo's. Don't know why I wrote Magnates. They are good,

New Havana has the Fundadores in stock, fwiw.

Well, that may change all of my plans.... Who knew buying cigars could be so difficult. If only I had unlimited funds and storage space, then I could buy them ALL! :-)

I'll second the Exquisitos and Preferidos. I've really become a believer in the medium ring-gauges as the best show-case for a given blend. To me, these two vitolas really highlight the DPG Blue. One note on these two sizes - they come packaged in cabinets of 50 sticks, as opposed to the other sizes in the line so they are spendier.

Of the three sizes you have listed, I'd vote for the Imperiales (torp).

I keep boxes of the Invictos (5 X 50) and the Generosos (6 X 50) in the cabinet. They are wonderful, spicy, great smokes. I also got a cab of the Exquisitos (5.6 X 46) but the larger ring in this blend seems to be what I prefer.

+1 :-)

Thanks for all of the suggestions, I went with the Imperiales (Torpedo 6x52). Decided a whole box of Exclusivos (9x48) might be a little excessive, and they were a bit more expensive.

I've only smoked the Imperiales, a box, and just received a second box. For me the 52 ring gauge provides a very good wrapper-to-filler ratio.

In general, when you smoke a particular ring-gauge and the cigar sings, you know you delight in it, and what better guide is there?
