El Presidente Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I am a sucker for the Corona Gorda vitola. The size suits me perfectly and If I was forced to pick only one vitola to smoke for the rest of my life....Corona Gorda I would try. From the smooth power of the Siglo VI, the mongrel of a young 46, the soft floral nature and honey of an A, the cream and complexity of the Hoyo, the balance of the 13/14 Punch, the full rich fruity flavours of the Ramon Allones. It is a vitola where every cigar is unique and brings something to the table. My favourite.....I can't pick one. For me it is like picking a favourite child. Should each of the Corona Gordas be put in front of me .....my hand would probably move toward the mag 46...then the Hoyo...then the A...then back to the Mag....then..... You have two choices in the poll. Let us know which two you would pick as your favourite right now. Additionally......if you could only smoke one vitola from the current Cuban lineup....what would it be?
leftimatic Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I too am a Corona Gorda man. Next choice would be a Corona. Just the right amounts of cigar for me.
Rye Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Man, a brutal query for me to answer, on both counts! Only 1 vitola?! Never!!! If I could sneak Churchills into the long & skinny category, that would be my choice, but I'm sure I'd get caught chopping a lonsdale in half just to remember what it was like to smoke PC's. (That would likely be after only a week)
kb20four Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I would go with robustos or coronas/corona gordas. I smoke mostly smaller cigars but I can't imagine smoking a PC as a celebratory cigar. IMO the only two sizes I could smoke on a regular afternoon and for celebrating are those two.
merc Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Yep I'm a corona, corona gorda and petit corona fan. I haven't tried the RA Superiores on that list, for some reason I thought they were an LE. As for the rest, it's almost impossible for me to pick my favourites in order. Mag 46 would be in the top 2 though.
fabes Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Tough choices. I do enjoy variety and enjoy all those corona gordas (although never tried the RyJ). Too bad the current coronas are sparse, but I'd be happy rotating through all those corona gordas. Went with Superiores. That could change as I've got some Serie A on the way.
PapaDisco Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I love the older Punch Punch (construction issues aside) on flavors. I've been extremely lucky with the last two cabs of Siglo IV that I've been working through though and that's become a temporary favorite as I'm almost out of my '09 Punch Punch and I gotta make them stretch! I was split on the "only vitola" as well. If I could vote for corona gorda + churchill that would be the magic for me!
JohnS Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 El Pres, I'm enjoying a Robusto phase and I'm only allowed one vitola? For me, I'd settle where I started...petit coronas. Monte 4's, Cohiba Siglo II's, Bolivar PC, Ramon Allones SCC, Partagas Shorts etc. These 'go to', reliable smokes I think I'll enjoy always.
in0gravity Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 SLR Serie A all the way. This is my favorite cigar. If I had to change to one vitola only, it would be the Robusto regards Lars 3
ChanceSchmerr Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Got my vote by tagging Coronas on to the Corona Gorda choice LOL
Styler Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 My vote went for the RA, but only just. I also voted for the CG as my favourite vitola if I could only smoke one although I usually smoke more PCs. There are a couple of the above cigars I've not tried though, the Serie A sounds right up my street as I love floral/honey flavours. I'll have to get my hands on some soon.
Sophistic Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 isnt a corona closer to a petit corona and a dalia than corona gorda? perfect size is/would be 40rx170mm, not box pressed. 1
anacostiakat Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I would agree that the corona gorda is a staple in my house. Mag 46, JL Selection #1, Punch Punch are the best for me. I also enjoy the Serie A and the SIG IV. However, the cohiba is less often acquired due to cost. This vitola as well as the Churchill/DC format are my favorites. Not to say the dalia and the smaller PC's and minuto's are required to round out the time line for smoking.
tmac77 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 The Corona Gorda is by far and away my favorite vitola. In any given week I will likely smoke about 5 - 6 of them. Right now I tend to go with a rotation of Punch Punch, RA Superiors, and Mag 46's with the Punch Punch being my favorite.
joeypots Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Put some time on a good box of Siglo IV and have at them. I'm a Cohiba *****. Everything else is second best. I'll smoke and enjoy all the others, Mag46, Serie A, PP , but the poll is for the king. If I could afford to smoke them all the time I might not be so enamoured of them.
DWC Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I would be in the Corona, Petit Corona, Dahlia category too if there was one.
spirit Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I voted Superiores and Cohiba IV... The Corona Gorda size is certainly around the sweet spot in terms of RG and smoking time!
rmill3r Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Between BPC, PLPC, Choix Supreme, Connie 1, Exhibicion 4, Famosos and Regios, I think Petit Corona and Hermoso No. 4s are my go-to's, but I really need to try a Siglo IV and a Superiores to see otherwise
Habana Mike Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Sig IV and Superiores were my choices though Boli CE and a couple of the other Punches (RS11, SS#2) would have topped that if still around. If dalias fall in the short and long and skinnies category than I guess anything < 44RG is fair game. That works for me! Only problem is how long until there are none left to smoke and they aren't making any more ;(
Jay Hemingway Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Long and Skinnies! Long and Skinnies! Long and Skinnies!
eswary Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 This category to me has a tendency to bring out the best of every blend. That being said, I do enjoy great cigars of all sizes. I've been really enjoying ERDM choix, Party shorts, SLR Regius, and Rass this year in the corona category the most. My next purchase will be more choix, and RYJ petite coronas.

bigharpoon Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Corona Gorda has my heart above and beyond all other vitolas with robusto coming on strong for second. I just love my Serie A.
