    I occasionally like a 60. Nub's are a staple in my humidor. I try to keep some on hand. However, now that I am gaining more time in the hobby, each stick has its time and place and I rarely have the time or place for a 60 anymore. Toro is my preferred size, Robusto is also fine. I don't hate on big RG though until it gets over 60, then it is a novelty. Just my opinion and it isn't worth the 2 cents.

    I like the occasional 60 RG stick, I have a few in my humidor but I find myself gravitating to Toros and even Corona Gordos as well as robustos more lately.
    We're going to need a bigger humidor

    I wont smoke anything over 54 RG unless its some sort of figurado or box pressed. The only time it bothers me is when all the vitolas in a line are jaw breakers. That just makes me pass on them altogether. I dont understand it but then again I don't have to, smoke what you like.

    I used to like the big sticks but find myself enjoying smaller RG more and more. 58 is as big as I will ever go and even then I find that way too much to really enjoy. I guess as I dig deeper into the world of CC's I am appreciating the small ones now. funny how one's tastes change constantly in this hobby/obsession. an 80 just seems ridiculous to me at this stage

    I'm 5'8, 140 lbs. I look absolutely ridiculous smoking huge cigars.
    It's not a real hobby unless it interferes with your work.

    I tried a 60 rg once. It was ok, but just not comfortable to smoke. I have preferred robusto size from the start of my cigar ventures, and am now enjoying even smaller rg's. PC seems to be a very enjoyable smoke these days.

    80 rg is just too much IMHO. I tend to stay under 60 and have really been enjoying small rg sticks lately. I just wish the local shops agreed with me and carried more coronas and lanceros, slim pickings locally.

    I'm sure it'd be a novelty to smoke something that you could use to clobber an intruder with at the same time, but my jaw couldn't agree. 60 is about as high as I can go and that's rare. Give me that sweet 40-44 range.

    Exactly. This is my third foray into cigars in my life. The last time, about the biggest I can recall were 48-50 on some Churchills. I don't recall the robusto being around much 20+ years ago. But then again, I am MUCH, much better informed with the help of the internet in this era. Anyhoo, still preferring panatella, lance, petite corona, corona and londsdale when I have a choice in the matter.
