Corona - I can usually afford 45 minutes to an hour and the size just feels good....

Actually the Rothschilde traditional size of 4.50x50 is the perfect size for me. Takes me 45 minutes to smoke one. I get distracted by the real world after sitting with a smoke for more than an hour, so a lot of times I end up wasting a few inches of cigar by abandonment. Of course the Petit Corona fits the bill also; hell all the small ones are what I usually get.

Oh, and I forget to mention mine.

I like the Toro b/c the ring gauge is large enough to stand up to "chewing" and it lasts about an hour 1 hr which is perfect for me.

Toro, the longer it takes me to smoke, the longer I can drink beer and sit on my ass.

My favorite size is the robusto, followed by the toro when I have the time for a longer smoke.

Most of my cigars are in the toro size, but I find myself leaning more towards the lanceros lately.

I prefer a Petite Corona most of the time, it fits best in the amount of time I have to enjoy a stick.

My 2nd choice would be a robusto

My fav. size is the Lancero. The size is so elegant and beautiful. Plus, with the length, there can be so many flavor changes and chances for intense complexity. But most of the time I smoke PC's. Great size.

Corona for me. I like less filler to wrapper ratio so the thinner gauge suits me nice.

My actual Fav. is the Lancero but the Corona was the closest on this poll.

Where are the lonsdales or corona gordas? (my two favs)

These two sizes consistently provide the most complex flavors IMHO.

I prefer the robusto. It seems to fit the amount of time I usually have. If I have more time, I'll go for a toro. Occasionally, I'll go for a petite corona just to have something different. Don't really care for much larger than a toro.
