All Cigar Discussion>Favorite Vitola

So, I've come to the conclusion that my overall favorite vitola is a corona. Not sure why exactly, I just find myself gravitating toward this particular size more often. So, what's you favorite vitola?

Lancero, followed swiftly by figurado :-)

Corona here, too. Best flavor of almost any blend I like. Tatuaje Noella comes to mind as a great example of this.

It's hard for me to zero in on one. I'd say depending on how much time I have either pc, robusto, toro or lancero.

It is more of a ring gauge thing for me with 42-48 being the sweet-spot.

My current favorite smoke is the Tatuaje Havana Cazadore.

There was a time that I didn't like anything south of 50 in ring gauge, but then I realized it was just because I was smoking lousy cigars.

As I moved up towards the top shelf I realized I enjoy the smaller ring gauges much more

I find myself smoking mostly robustos, but love a good figurado. I also tend to enjoy corona, petite corona, corona gorda, lancero, dalias. Hell, if it tastes good I smoke it, just not much north of about 50 rg, preferable in the mid 40's.

Corona and Figurado for sure. I've been smoking alot of Tat Hermosos and Noellas...something about the 42-46 ring gauge that I prefer. I can't remember the last time I had a churchill size or anything over 7 inches other than an Anejo #48 which was delicious.

Belicoso, Robusto, Toro, Corona...in that order. Just learning to SLOW DOWN and enjoy lanceros.

I love me a good corona. Like others said I don't really like em too far north of 50 rg.

If I had to pick a favorite I'd probably go with corona as well, and I rarely buy anything above a 50rg.

Just one size? Pick just one? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Depending on day, how much time I have, what flavor I am looking for, what mood I am in, who I am with, whether I am outside in the wind or not, what did I just eat, what am I drinking, etc...

It might be:
Petite Corona
Robusto
Double toro
Churchill
Toro
Lancero
Panatela
et...

Whatever is in my humidor is one of my favorites.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Bellicoso and Lonsdales. I've really started to get into some of the smaller RG stuff; trying to understand wrapper differences better.

perfecto, toro, and then corona

I'd have to say lonsdale but they are rarely sold on the resale market...

I couldn't word it much better myself. I always seem to gravitate towards the robust size but I'm not one to limit myself :-). Not a huge fan of this new huge RG trend. Not sure why everyone wants to stick something that size in their mouth... just saying'

It depends on the cigar and the moment. If I'm going to watch a two hour movie then a nice churchill works best.

If I'm in it for the flavor and complexity of the cigar a nice lancero or corona works for me.

No love for the mareva? :-)

Anything under 50 RG unless its a belicoso
[Reply]
Dunkel 08:18 AM 03-31-2011
Robusto, Corona Gorda, Toro ,Belicoso and Corona in that order. Can't understand why Lanceros are so popular, but different strokes I reckon.
