Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Thoughts/prices? (and JJ maduro)

[Nickerson]

Dude, 6x66, what the hell is happening to cigars. Are ladies asking for these larger sticks :sadstare:

I'm with you 100%. I don't go much larger than Robusto's. I don't got the patience really. And even if you do, just light up another cigar.

Everyone I ask says same as me, they prefer Robusto's or smaller. Some don't mind Toro's. But who is smoking these 6"x60 cigars? They must be popular because everyone is making them now...

I'm trying to decide between a box of the robustos and a box of the toros. I've only smoked the toro size, and really enjoyed it, but I'm typically a fan of the robusto size as far as vitolas go. (I've read that the petite robusto is great, but the place I'm buying them from is sold out.)

My question is, ignoring size preferences in general, for those who have tried this cigar in both vitolas, which is the more pleasurable smoke? Toro or Robusto?

 

[ckay]

I enjoyed both. Size is up to you. I prefer the toro.

 

[bdc30]

This is a strong smoke for me, so I prefer the robo. The toro gets to be a bit much unless you've just had a big meal or something imo.

 

[jebloom22]

Hmm...now I found a good price on the petit robustos. decisions, decisions.

Toro, Robusto, or Petit Robusto. I enjoy all sizes, but wonder which size is the best for this blend.

You can't go wrong with this cigar. In any size. This is one of my Favourite everyday smokes right now. I'm not smoking them everyday, but you know what I mean.

That's a tough call I love them both. I've had the OR Jaime toro, and it was one of the best sticks I've ever had. I'm currently working thru a box of the robus. They're awesome. The jj maduro belicoso is a fantastic smoke. If you could swing the beli box I'd go for those. If moneys an issue, go for the Jamie.

Yup, what he said.

 

[jebloom22]

Well... I was all set to buy a box of the JG's, and then I came across a box of 24 Oliva Serie V double robustos for $89. Too hard to pass that up. Thanks for your help, guys!

Jamie's, but mostly because I prefer a more medium strength cigar.
