I for one would prefer something really rustic akin to a Partagas Presidente.

I really love that size and format not too wide not overly tapered more like a Petite Corona meets Figarado. I'm sure I'll be happy to support whatever comes out, just what I would like to see.

Couldn't have said it better. I love the shape of the Partagas Presidente.

5.whatever inches seems a bit too small, I love the original 6 / 6.5 idea

What is the history behind the name "flying pig" and the vitola shape/size? This is not a Havana thing is it?

Not sure about the name and the origin of the vitola.  As it relates to Hamlet though, and if he scours this thread he can clarify, it was a vitola he used for many years exclusively for a Saudi prince.  After many years, he finally let some out in the wild to friends.  I'm glad he did.  I still have about 10 of his Cuban tobacco based ones.  IIRC, he rolled some NC ones when he did B&M tours for RP.

Is a flying pig there same thing as a butifarra?

Had a few custom rolls a while back. Very nice they were too.

I like the short stumpy sizes. Like the short story. Bit bigger one would be good. Like Johnny's

Really like this format a lot.  And the cigars were superb.
