I am a big fan of smaller RG cigars after a year of smoking, and
though i've traded for, bought or been gifted a lot of toro's, churchill's and
the like... I like the idea of being able to smoke something in 40-60
mins enjoy the flavors, sometimes get a little Nicotine Kick and keep
it moving!

My other favorite is the Corona Gorda. 5.5X46 usually.. these don't
take a lot of time either.... Any other brothers and sisters feel this
way?

(thanks danilo! El Typo in the house!) *lol*

I think you mean 5.5x 46 for corona gorda...

And yes, CG is one of the go to sizes for me, as well as Robustos +-50 RG is what i like...
sometimes a bit larger is ok, but not a fan of 56+

Title says Robusto Whores Unite

Body of post does not even mention Robustos.

So do you like smaller ring gagues or do you like robustos with a 46-50 Rg or not?

Personally i like cigars, and there is a cigar for every occasion. Lancero with a 36-40 RG is my go to, but a PC or smaller is sometime nessesary for time constraints.

Dave read Paragraph 1. I'm describing what I like best
about Robusto's brotha. I also mentioned that I really
enjoy the Corona Gorda Vitola as well. I almost never
have the time to smoke anything bigger.

What also comes to mind is smoking something with a
60RG and having to "suffer through it"! *lol* A while
back i thought bigger RG meant better value for the
money you're spending.

Now I don't see it that way AT ALL!

yeah I used to smoke marlboro 100's cause it seemed like a better value..lol same price, longer cigarette. Of course I stopped those when the price went for $2 to $4.

I certainly don't prefer a jawbreaker ring gauge, that said for me I like to find the size in a cigar line that offers the best blend for me. Sometimes it's a robusto or sometimes it is another vitola in the line.

I hear people like Jerome (DM) saying that all the time
and i have noticed that different blends give you different
flavors. That said if its a 50 or less RG that still makes me
happiest!

One exception however was the Viaje Holiday Blend....
That Mug had 54RG and I smoked the hell out of it!:hysterica

Robusto is my fav size as well.

Second would be a Toro...Great, slow burning, cool burning size really allows for the cigar's flavor profile to develop, and ages nicely as well.

For me its seasonal preference, I used to smoke the DCs and churchills more but nowadays I find my self in the corona gordas, robustos and torpedos.

Its all about the mood and time you want to spend.

Robusto's have always been one of my favorite sizes. Corona, Corona Gorda, and Robusto have been my favorites.
