Corona Gorda.
5.6
or
6.75x42
or
Both
Corona Gorda
Depends on the cigar. If it was something I planned on smoking casually(in the car, everyday type) it'd be the corona gorda. Something nicer for dedicated relaxation sessions probably the lancero.
Corona Gorda
I do enjoy Corona Gordas and get them often, but if time isn't an issue a good Lancero is hard to beat IMHO.
Corona Gorda
Lancero every time.
Corona, all day everyday
Corona Gorda. I am not that into lanceroes.
It's not that I don't like lanceros, I've only had a couple and really haven't learned to smoke them. What I mean by that is I think they call for a different cadence than a 50rg.Quote:

Love my lanceros, but CG's aren't far behind.

I was given some guidance by a few bums on how to get the most from them. From their input and what I have experienced myself, smoking them too fast can really ruin things fast.Quote:

Corona or robusto. Had a couple lanceros lately and really like them for a longer smoke... like them a lot more than Churchills. The cadence seems akin to smoking a pipe, which makes it a natural choice for me.
Couldn't agree more! Give me one of each!!Quote:

And as some have said, lances and coronas need.to be smoked slowly. A robo usually takes me an hour and a half anyway.
I'll have to go with the CG just for smoking ease. I've had some lancero's, but for the most part they are an art to smoke. I've had a few that were great, and some that were tighter than Kelsey's nuts....
I am a fan of both, but if I had to pick, it would be a lancero, preferably a Petit lancero. Tomorrow I might vote differently.
Lanceros are harder to smoke, but it's very rewarding when it's on.
Corona gorda most of the time.
Lanceros when I want to treat myself.
What I truly enjoy about lanceros is the Wrapper, Binder, Filler counterbalance compared to other sizes. The larger the size the more the filler takes over the flavor profile. Just my .02 which is really worth anything. ;-)Quote:

Our beloved Herf N Turf first turned me on to lanceros, and I live by his advice - you need to smoke them so they're always on the verge of going out. In fact, I generally go over that verge several times per lancero smoked. Not only do you need to leave plenty of time between draws, it's also helpful to be deliberate about drawing slowly and stopping short of a full draw. Absolutely agree about the prominence of the wrapper flavor in the blend - it's one of the great things about lanceros.
But let's face it - we really smoke them because they just look so danged cool and roguish. :stogie:
I thought that's why we smoked Backwoods Sweet Aromatics :pQuote:
