Bigger Cigars?

I used to always buy Churchills when I first became a smoker of premium hand-rolled cigars. Figured I was getting more for my money. Now days, my preferred size is a toro, around 6 x 50. My second favorite is a robusto 5 x 50. The shorter cigars, in my experience, are less likely to go south when you get closer to the nub. I also like a corona for a short smoke, although I rarely buy them.

I like robustos mainly.

Prefer to keep it under a 52 RG. One of the biggest PIA for me, the owner of my local shop is a fan of 60+ RG so that's what he mostly stocks.

So he will get in a cigar I want to try, but I won't buy from him because they are all HUGE sizes...

Yup i try to keep things 50rg or smaller. Not an easy task for sure. A lot of times price plays a major role for my purchases regardless of rg, if i could I'd go no bigger than 52. Although I've let some good deal slip away lately because the cigar in questin is a 60rg that is to big for my preferences at this point.

I'm a rather small guy at 5'8" and 160 so anything larger than a 50 ring is a bit much unless it's box pressed. Though I'm happy with a 50 ring I prefer something in the 40's.

SWMBO doesn't care so much for me smoking and I generally don't have too muh more than an hour so 5.5" is generally as long as I go. However on the days I water the grass I am outside for quite some time and if I have to be out in the Texas heat I want to make it worth my sufferage and usually go for a Lonsdale or Churchill.

I've been a bit enamored with the shorties around 4" and mid 30 ring to low 40 ring. Plenty of times I have just 30 mins of smoking time.

For me I feel a Corona is ideal. I was mostly into Robustos until I tried them.

Everything else I have been approaching seems to be seriously sucking. Either they are WAY to strong and WAY to harsh or they are just crap and not worth smoking or keeping. The short CC's seem to be just about right these days.

I am TOTALLY open to suggestions though to a AMAZING 30 min smoke..

I tend to like coronas most, as I'm trying to get that magic "this is what they were shooting for" bundle of tastes and aromas, but I do like the fat robusto (5x56) that CAO makes, as well as Boneshaker and Diesel UHC

I mostly enjoy a nice PC. Especially a CC PC. It suits my smoke time best. That is unless I am brewing beer then I have several hours of free time and then I enjoy a Corona. That seems to be my sweet spot for flavour.

MY favorite cigar so far is the My Uzi Weighs A Ton Bait Fish. 30-40 minute smoke, despite it's small size.
