What Vitolas do you Prefer?

[KevinG]

Robusto, Torpedo, Corona, Corona Gorda, Petite Corona, Churchill ... kind of in that order.

Robusto, toro, torpedo, corona. Perfectos are good but price is usually an obstacle.

What about box pressing? I'm not usually a fan...

[CRider]

Robusto, Toro, Torpedo...usually in that order. When I was only "allowed" to have one cigar a month, I used to only buy Churchills so that I'd get the most bang for my buck That obstruction was removed a few years ago so my tastes have changed quite a bit. Box-pressed doesn't matter either way to me...it looks nice I guess?

[HeavyMetal-cr]

Corona, corona gorda, lancero or torp.

[Newby]

Corona, Robusto, Torpedo, Lancero.

I like churchills when I will be doing something for a long time like playing cards, golfing, fishing. They can get boring if they are one dimensional. I tend to stay away from the larger ring gauges, rarely smoke anything over 50. I don't really like box pressed either.

robustos and toros are most common in my humi, but i like torps because they sometimes have the biggest ring out of the rest of a particular cigars sizes. time doesnt really allow for churchills so i tend to avoid those.

i think box pressed cigars look and feel cool, but fail to see what they actually do for the cigar

[slowburning]

Lonsdale, corona, churchill (46-48 ring gauge), torpedo, robusto, toro, in that order.

I am kinda back to basic these days. Recent purchases were mostly lonsdale and corona. Occassionally, I will buy churchill and torpedo, but rearely toro or robusto, unless smaller ring gauge ones are not available.

I agree...I've smoked a few box pressed cigars and I haven't been able to tell much of a differance either. Maybe they concentrate the flavors a bit?

I enjoy them though, they are sometimes a good change of pace - something differant.

Box-pressed cigar will not roll away when place it on a flat surface.

I didn't detect any difference in taste either.

[Sparhawk]

Churchills and Toros Ring gauge 50 and above

i tend to smoke while near my cigar ashtray but that convenience of not rolling away never really hit me. so simple and obvious! lol this may play a new part in my cigar buying decisions

I LOVE box pressed cigars!! They just feel like they were made for my hand!! They may not affect the flavor, but it does enhance the smoking experience for me, because I like the way they feel in my hand.
