So the new maduro v is out and well it's a 6x60. I wasn't a fan of the 2013 size and really liked the 2011-2012 sizes and earlier. But crap going big for this "special" release has really turned me off!

    It feels like that should have ended in a rim shot.

    I heard about the size last week, looking forward to trying it. Probably will not be picking up a box however.

    Is there some down side to big rings I dont know about? Or is it a pen15 thing? I like cool smoke so I like big rings. I prefer at least a 50 so this v may be the v for me.

    hahahaaaa no it's not about the pen15 it's more about quality. If your steaming up a small rg puff lighter and smoke slower. Ever wonder why a 6x60 is not too much more expensive then a corona? It's because there is a ton more filler in it! The filler they put in it is most likely extremely cheaper or that cigar would cost a ton more. Smaller rg's have a better wrapper to filler ratio which means you'll get more out of it in flavor. Also it's about how it feels in your mouth and hand...if I was shaq I'd probably smoke larger stuff lol but I still wouldn't go 6x60. But IMO smaller rg's are superior to large rg's

    really though 50rg isn't bad at all! I'll go up to 54 if box pressed or torpedo but usually I'll stick with coronas and lanceros for the most part

    I go in phases, favoring mostly box-pressed smokes. IMO the robusto is the best way to sample a cigar for the first time. Everyone is making huge rg's now, but I think companies know what the die-hards buy and roll accordingly. Something for everyone.

    I didn't know it was a different size every year. That being said I've always been a fan of a big ring. But 6x60 is my limit. I think cigars with a lot of different leaves especially when they are coming from different country's benefit greatly from a bigger gage. I've never really liked it when all you can taste is wrapper.
