In my 20's I know the large cigars or jawbreakers were just a "look at me" thing. In my early 30's I was gifted a PUNCH Ninfa and at that point I finally started to appreciate thinner cigars.Quote:

50 to 54 is as big as I go. Usually tend to go smaller.
I went with 46-58 I prefer coronas and robustos but I like lancero's and will occasionally smoke a larger RG stick
My ideal size is 5.5" by 48
I like variety but favor 48-52.
38-52. I love lanceros but there aren't enough options. As a result I need to go bigger sometimes.
I prefer 48-52. 54 and up is too big unless it's a box pressed or torpedo. Below 48 is OK, but reminds me of my cigarette smoking days.
The poll choices seen to leave some wriggle room for those whose favourites fall on or stradle one of the divsions. Tho any other choices would likely mean narrower ranges or include so wide a range as to be meaningless.Looking back to when I started smoking the Coriona was a big cigar.The churchill seemed akin to a telephone pole. Present day huge ring gauges more like the oversized cigar the clown in a circus act might be carrying.Still smoke cigars in the 42 to 46 RG more often than anything above 50 rg. I have more of the larger sizes in the humidor most of the time, the smaller sizes are fired up more often.But back in,late 1940's and 1950's,I recall Panatellas and Perfectos were quite popular.
52-54 is about as big as I generally go for.
I like them around 46-50 the best.
I'm up for trying a larger one at times too though.
