What is your favorite RG?

[El Jefe]

I like the 50s the best but have a special place in my heart for a corona sized stick as well. Absolutely despise most sticks over 54 most of the time because I smoke too slow to keep them lit.

 

[Le Buzz]

I think this is due to the Americanization of cigars... "bigger is better". Keep in mind, BOTL is comprised of people who take cigars seriously and do more than just smoke one occasionally. I too started out smoking big fat cigars until I learned to appreciate the smaller ring gauges. I think for the most part, though, most people don't take cigars as seriously as we do. Thus, bigger is better, and the manufacturers are intelligently following the trend. Can't blame 'em, I guess, as long as they continue to produce the ones we seem to appreciate the most.

absolutely... the age old American adage definitely applies. There's still a lot of smaller RG's produced that I love... but most are regular production. Nothing wrong with that at all, they are phenomenal as they are.

and Brooks, while very much looking forward to the Petit Caz and Verocu this year, but imagine a verocu at say... 6 x 42 :drool::drool::drool:

 

[benday]

Well, it will not be a Corona Gorda, but there is a smaller RG (MUCH smaller) Verocu being released this year...

In fact, Tatuaje has some REALLY great smaller RG cigars coming out this year, including the Petite Cazadore Reserva, and the aforementioned Verocu...

definitely was talking with pete the other night about this...in fact it might be showing up soon on a few more lines...

 

[Slow Burn]

i'v had more good robusto's (5x50) than other sized cigars... not saying some others were worse, just all things considered....

 

[ciggy]

I'm a Toro size guy so 50 is great or somewhere in that area is prefered but I also love a double corona too!

 

[mcmoyer]

Corona Gorda is my favorite, so 46. I smoke a fair share of Robustos, 48-50rg but not so much bigger than that.

 

[swat253]

I went with 52, but I've been gettin more into the sub 50 RGs lately. Good points on the smaller RGs!

 

[USNStoops]

I know why people smoke the smaller RGs for the nuances the cigar wrapper provides but the 60s, for me, stay a cooler smoker & I can chew away & not close it off. so for my style of smoking, light it & leave it in your mouth, 60 is the only way to go.

 

[Psojka RP,601]

I like a 46 - 50 ring gauge.

[hdroadglide]

don't have a favorite. some sticks are better in a thin rg ,some in a large. whatever produces the best flavor for that particular cigar.

I like corona gordas because I can leave them in my mouth without my jaw starting to hurry. I don't chew on them though.

 

[Simoun]

I don't have a single favorite rg. In general, though, I love a 38, 40, 42, or 46 rg, but there are notable exceptions of course: 28 (LGC MdO No. 3), 52 (BBF), 52+ (Padrón Annies), 46/60 (WOAM), etc. Whatever works for that particular blend. You get the idea....

I think that goes without saying! :applause:

 

[The BurgerMeister]

44-50, but 50 is the usual suspect in my humidor.

and this:

the CAO Mx2 is totally "meh" in a bigger ring gauge... but the 38 RG Dagger might have some good flavors going on.

 

[Madvillain]

This is almost an impossible question to answer as I love 28-60 but I probably buy robustos when trying a new cigar more than I do any other vitola. So 50 by default

 

[cf2112]

Fav 42-44, lonsdales, coronas are the perfect size for me. I'll smoke anything from 36-52 if it has a tapered head larger is ok.

not sure i've had a 28 before...one day.

 

[Madvillain]

Heh that should be 38. Even though I'm sure I'd love the insanely small 28 if I came across one.

 

[tedp]

Either 50 or 38. Depends on the mood!
