Big Cigars

[StocktonJohn]

Over the years I have become a fan of large cigars (meaning Churchill and double coronas not so much gordos) and I'm hoping some of you can provide recommendations on certain cigars that work well in large vitolas.

A few personal favorites are the MOW double corona for its rich complexity, Tat gran cojonu for it's amazing taste ( I know it's not a DC but WTH), Torano Virtuoso for it's consistent construction and flavors of cocoa and sweet spice and Casa Magna because it is just flat delicious.

What are your favorites in this format and why?

I rarely smoke cigars this big, due to the time it takes to smoke them. But one of the best I have had is the Padron1926 A

I norm don't smoke to many large cigars either but the Drew Estate Liga Privada #9 Corona Doble 7 x 52 is a great smoke, and if I had more time would smoke more of them.

I'm not a big cigar guy but I love the MUWAT

If you think the Gran Cojonu taste great, try the Cojonu 03. They both smoke in about the same time frame and the 03 is much easier to hold.

I second the LP #9 and T52 in the DC size. Both very good, the T52 just slightly better.

You need to try the new My Uzi Weighs A Ton
If you want an interesting mild with flavor try the 262 Ideology Churchill

 

[Herfin' Harg]

I quite enjoy the Illusione 888 (CH) and 4/2g (DC).

I 3rd the Uzi
Also had a Digger. That cigar isn't big, its massive. Good consistent LFD Ligero flavor and strength.

If you guys want to try a massive cigar try the Perdormo Inmenso. I used to smoke big cigars 5 years ago and this thing was really big. It looks like I was smoking a big "pole". It was pretty tasty but burned horribly.

Tat Gran Conoju
MUWAT
Digger (I cannot believe I have smoked three of these this month. Wish I had jumped on the fiver I saw for sale last week...)

All the Cain 660's are wonderful smokes (6" x 60 ring). Settle down for 2 hours of smoking!

 

[Binladinburgh]

Im a fan of the padron 1926 as well

Gotta agree with this.

I smoke a lot of big cigars on the golf course. Here is my top 10 Big Cigars:

#1 LFD The Digger 8 1/2 x 60 (Primarily for it's size)
#2 LP T52 Doble Corona 7 x 54
#3 Tat Gran Cojonu 6 1/2 x 60
#4 LP My Uzi Weighs A Ton Toro 6 x 60
#5 LFD Double Ligero 700 6 1/2 x 60
#6 EP Carrillo Short Run Dominantes 6 1/4 x 60
#7 Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Toro Gordo 6 x 60
#8 Illusione mj12 - Toro Gordo 6 X 54
#9 LP #9 Doble Corona 7 x 54
#10 La Gloria Cubana Serie R no 7 Maduro. 7 x 58

Honorable Mention: Padron #7000 Maduro 6 1/4 x 60 OK smoke, just burns too fast

I feel a poll coming on

I need to try one of these I guess

 

[Altercall]

Tat RCs are great
Anejos are better in the larger vitolas
La Gloria Cubana Serie R (maddie for you) is great, but can get tiring if you get a longer vitola
La Flor Dominicana had a ton of stuff...
Small Batch 1, 2 or 3
Limitado (spicier)
Even the box press is pretty big

The thing with the larger vitolas is that they can show alot of the inconsistencies in the blend. You really have to get good tobacco and have a good blend to have a really good large cigar. Plus, you've got to have something you're not going to get tired of.

If you think the Gran Cojonu taste great, try the Cojonu 03. They both smoke in about the same time frame and the 03 is much easier to hold.

I love the Cojonu 03, but 52 ring guage is not a big cigar too me.
