I agree 100% with Zito about the Churchills!! I tend to get bored, plus I smoke sooooooo Slow, that a Churchill would take me hours to finish!! I usually only get about 45 minutes so a Robusto is usually what I grab for. My fave is actually a nice Toro. I used to love the torps, but now don't think they are worth the extra money.

I usually like toros and robustos but lately I've started liking cigars with a little smaller ring gauge. But if it's a special occassion and I have some time to spare I'll smoke a churchill. I used to hate them but I dunno what happened.

I like toro the most at the moment but robustos follow a close second and then torps.

Most of what is in my collection are toros. Lately, I have been leaning on a lot of robustos; most likely because of the morning coffee thing (coffee Kevin, not latte, coffee!!) I tend to look at the ring gauge more than anything. With the exception of some Fuentes, the ring gauge on just about everything I buy is 50 or above.

Yeah, I prefer a larger ring gauge to a longer stick now as well.
