38 to 42 preferably with a good bit of 44, 46 because that will often be the smallest vitola offered. A few 47's 48, but not a bunch.

A few thousand cigars ago it was 42-46, but lately it's been 50-54.

Pretty much between 40-48, with an occasional smoke outside that range.

I like em all really, some of the smokes I have had in 56-60 have been awesome.

That said I generally go for 38-50, except for L'Atelliers those are 54s always.

Has got nothing to do with the length or ring size. Some large ring cigars suck and some are good. The same with smaller lengths and rings.

Think I’ve narrowed my smoking preferences down to 44 and 52RG.

Still enjoy a 38 to 40 RG lancero or corona too but for some reason, not as often as I used to.

I'd say my favorite is 44, but I smoke a decent number of lanceros so 38-40 is a great size too. Really like to just keep it 50 and below, but there are some great cigars at larger ring gauges (H. Upmann Connie A comes to mind) so I try not pigeonhole. Wish londsdales would become more popular again.

Corona then robusto as these are more readily available.

Also like pc, lanceros & lonsdales but these sizes are not as available.

54 and under. Very few 54 I like. Some of my favorite torpedos are 52 though. Oliva o I believe is 52 in torpedo. 54 better be a dang good cigar. As a rule high 40s But I keep lanceros on hand. I guess I like them all. Up to 54 if it’s a good stick

I prefer cigars in the 40's - coronas and double coronas are my favorites. I'll do 50-52, probably smoke more of these because there so prevalent on the market. Typically avoid stuff over 54.

PYRAMIDS, - all others time to smoke dictates ring, length. Nuthing beats a big stogie (60-6.5) and a six pack or a good bottle of booze and tones. That's called layabouts.

50 or below, with only a hand full of exceptions. Pyramids, torpedos, belicosos are good because I can cut the end to a reasonable size, and they don't seem as hard to draw as a 52-54 usually is. Box pressing also smakes a difference. A 52 boxed-pressed feels smaller, more in the 50ish range.

But most of the time, when I see large gauge, especially 54 or more, I move on without considering it.
