Robusto or Toro?

[Dr. Xikar]

It's a simple question... Which do you prefer? I generally like the thicker gauges myself, but the length doesn't matter much...

I'm planning on picking up a 5 pack of Drew Estate Tabak Especials, and can't decide between the Toro (6x52) or the Robusto (5x54).

Which would you go for?

Also, In my smoking time is no issue, I smoke on weekends or after classes/exams, so I have all the time I need.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Hmmm never had that smoke but why don't you split the order and get a few of each?
That way you can have the best of both worlds.

Toro!

Depends on the strength of the cigar. If it's not an ass-kicker I'd go with a Toro. Robusto is a good size for most, though :grin:

 

[MiamiE]

Robusto if it's 5x50.

 

[wowsley]

Toro!

I generally prefer a Robusto, but Toro is a good size too. Terribly unhelpful huh :laugh:. Since that's not a "put you on your ass cigar", I'd say go with the Toro.

Between the two alone. It would be toro.

Every blend is different, I general prefer Robustos over Toros.

Stop copying me, Dan

Toro. Cooler smoking, longer sweet spot in many cigars IMHO.

Isn't impersonation the sincerest form of flattery :scratchhe :grin:.

Robusto for me. I'll have a Toro when I have time to smoke longer but that's a rare occurrence for me.

robusto

 

[Mr.Erskine]

Good question... on which I will be little help... I have no preference

 

[Thegreekone]

Depends on the stick and time.

Robusto, as a whole, are my faves.

That said, my pending PCRs are an exception. Oh, and there are certain lanceros I like. I like the Rat, which is a corona.

Ah forget it, you know what I mean.....

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Robusto has always been my first choice!! :cbig:

 

[alfbacca]

Robusto for me. I rarely have time for a larger cigar and if I do, I'll go with a Churchill or an A size.

 

[Dr. Xikar]

Hmm... I believe I'll opt for the Toro size... Time is not a constraint for me. I usually go with Robusto since they come in heavier ring gauges, but since this comparison is a 6x52 or a 5x54, there really isn't that much of a difference in the gauge, but the added inch will help it stay cooler, and last longer.

Thanks for the feedback, Gents! I'll counterbalance this by re-ordering them in Robusto next time
