The Fat Cigar Trend Continues: 6x60s

Cigar lovers simply can't get enough 6x60 cigars, so for the first time in our 20 year history, Cigar Aficionado Magazine has dedicated a tasting category solely to the hot new size. Six-inch long, 60 ring gauge cigars are among the most popular in the U.S. market, yet the size is so new that there is no agreed upon industry standard name. Unlike most cigar sizes that originated in Cuba, the 6x60 cigar was born in recent years and has boomed in popularity. Read the ratings in the November/December issue of Cigar Aficionado, which hits newsstands today.

:-& Garbage.

I hate huge RG cigars. I don't count the pig though.

Oklahoma has the highest sales of large RG cigars as I'm sure Texas does as well.

Just not my thing 50-52-54 is perfect for me.

I prefer coronas. Less filler lets the binder and wrapper come thru.

You folks can have those big ring monsters. My favorite size is still the traditional robusto (5" x 50), though I am smoking more coronas. Getting to the point where I'm even shying away from toros and torps.

wife might prefer 6 x 60 but not in a cigar!!! :)

54 ring is as far as I like to go. Starting to prefer 50 or less, though.

I prefer 52rg and smaller. I tend to smoke more coronas, lanceros, and lonsdales.

I'd like to submit my term for the 6x60 cigar.

I know that a lot of women like the smaller ring gauges.

I do enjoy having something long, dark, veiny and girthy shoved in my mouth.

Personally, I like large RG smokes. I have mostly robustos and Churchills in my cabinet, albeit one drawer has several coronas for quickie smokes. I had a few Casa Blanca Jeroboams a couple of years ago, but 10x60 was a bit too much for every day smoking.....

46 - 52 is where it's at for me.

I stray from that occasionally but anything bigger usually grenades on me because of high r humididy here. Another perk of living in Screw York..

+1 with my boy Hill nothing better then a 46 Corona... I'm honestly not sure how in the world anybody can pull good flavors out of a 60 ring gauge but to each their own...

All tobacco has flavor. You don't have to make a cigar 50% wrapper for it to taste great. They do make flavored cigars if your having trouble.

The only big ring gauge ccigars i have are the tat dd and feral flying pig but thats only because they have tapered ends. Like many others i find my self gravitating more and more towards smaller ring guage cigars although i dont care for lanceros too much. Robustos, corona gordas, lonsdales, coronas are the majority of smokes that i keep have some churchills here and there.
