    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.

    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.
