I was in the military at 19 and got to enjoy a good variety of smokes. I love tasting a cigar with a clean palate.
Smoked slowly, a corona or PC can last 40 or more minutes, and like Adam said, you might find some flavors that are more pronounced in the smaller format. I can understand you noty wanting it to be similar to someone with cigarettes, but you can make that happen with smaller format cigars. Do you find yourself to be a "fast smoker"?

Heck, I can nurse a TPC out to 40 minutes. :-)

I actually have kind of picky pace (OCD even). I don't want it to burn to hot and I don't want the cherry to get so low as to take to many starter puffs to get my preferred burn. I'm comfortable in the RG of 43 to 52. Before or after my hiatus I didn't/don't smoke a cigar down beyond or much beyond half way in lengths from 5 1/2 to 7 inches. That's the flavor range and pace I prefer that gives me much joy.:-)

That's the great thing about cigars.
So many to choose from.
So many ways to smoke/enjoy them.
All perfectly OK as totally personal.
The main thing is the relaxation they bring.

In 25 years or so, I have evolved so much and gone through repeated stages of varying ring preference. While I enjoy them all, I do find myself going for robustos and toros more often than not.
