When I first started smoking cigars I was all about the churchill. I had this image in my mind that a churchill was the perfect sized cigar. I also rationalized why would I pay for a corona or a robusto when for a buck or two more I could get almost twice the cigar. This also happened to be when I would puff down a churchill in less than 80 minutes. How times have changed.

Now that I savor a cigar, I prefer a 4.5" to 6" length cigar with a ring gauge of 54 or less. Rarely will I smoke a churchill as I don't want to sit with the same cigar for 2+ hours. Robustos are almost perfect for me as they will provide me with 80-90 minutes of enjoyment and it times out perfectly with a couple tv episodes, or a short movie on the iPad. If I am going to watch a 2 hour movie on the iPad, I will grab a toro out of the humidor.
