Looks like Padron is making good on its idea of continuing the family reserve line with the Padron Family Reserve 46. A corona gorda but quite a bit thicker than the traditional cg, a 5 1/2 by 56. Prices look to be around the same as the 45. On sale September 8th; they're sure to sell well and cause a lot of us financial pain and smoking bliss.

so sick of the fat RG trend. Not only are they making cigars way too fat... now they're redefining the vitolas?

what's next, a 7 x 60 lancero?????

Padrón's always presented very nontraditional vitolas, this one being slightly bigger than the '26 No. 9 (5 1/4" x 56), considered a robusto and which happens to be one of my favorites. I'm on board for this one....

Sometimes I feel like big ring gauges are terrible. I look at most cigars and they are all 50+ and I think damn I don't have time for those or that it is a terrible selection. I then look at my wishlist and realize that they are all 50+

I'm sure it will be an awesome smoke... and I'm sure there are plenty large RG cigars out there, I just don't like smoking them. I don't chew on the end of my cigars so I can't smoke them without holding them in my hand. If I'm reading while I smoke, it is a pain in the ass.

This is more of a robusto gordo. I was so excited when I read corona gorda... then I saw the size. I'd be happier with a churchill if they want to use the extra tobacco.

While 56 is a huge ring gauge i actually don't mind the 1926 #9 and this is pretty much the same size.

I like Pardon smokes, so I will have to try one for sure when they come out. A large ring cigar can be combersome but if it's from a great cigar maker there worth a shot in my book.
