    Looks like everyone likes the sumatra. This is something I can bring on in to test out. It will most likely start as an unbanded bundle but if sales are good, we can add a box and band. Lets discuss what sizes we like and a name. Please use this thread as an open discussion for both and when we have voiced our opinions we will open up both to a vote.

    Maybe a Torpedo and Robusto. 6 X 50 or 6 X 52 for the Torpedo and a 5 X 50 for the Robusto. Just wonder how the sizes will change the taste. I like the current size too.

    Funny that you throw this in here now. I'm smoking the Sumatra as we speak and just popped in to say I like it, quite a bit actually. For a bunch of screw ups and slackers we came up with a decent cigar. Thanks for the guidance and putting this together for us Alex.

    I know there are a few of us on here that prefer smaller ring gauges so a lancero or corona would be great. Also you can't go wrong with a robusto.

    A box and band mean nothing to me, as long as its wrapped in cello and tasted good the rest doesn't matter much.. I say if keeping it unbanded and bundled keeps the price down lets keep it that way.

    I'd also like to see them called the traditional cuban vitolas i.e. corona, panatella. Also I'm not sure if this exists or not but if it does lets make it the correct size I know there is a lot of variation on size in a vitola but if there is a "correct" size could we do that.

    My vote is for a word that describes what went on on these forums, but isn't too obvious to the common public.

    A quick search showed up
    CATADORES
    "The tasters who meticulously monitor the finished cigars on a daily basis."

    I think this not only describes us as a group but the name sounds fairly cool as well...

    CCOM y Forum "CATADORES"

    Or if we want to be simple with it... How about just CCOM (see-comm)

    I'm fascinated with the world of marketing so I will like this thread!

    I love this! I would totally buy this cigar... I am trying to get my hands on a bundle :(... Please? And I do agree about smaller ring gauges. There should def. be a one "small", one "medium", and one "big" sized cigar. It makes sense. So a corona, medium robusto, and fat torpedo makes sense...

    LIGADOR
    "The master blender in a cigar factory."

    We could call it Ligadors or Ligadores

    I also really like Catadores.

    If we just add the year of production to that name it could also serve as the name for future forums blends.

    Way to go Lassy. A name for a new Forum Blend Line of sticks EXCLUSIVELY available at C.COM.

    I am also going in for a vote on small-medium-large size. I think you should use a spruced up version of the icon on the top left page of the guy in the easychair or the interactive cigar.com guy in the lower left. He haunts my dreams. The brand should be CCOM since we all abbreviate it that way and the name of the cigar should be "Knight Stick"

    So, you aren't looking at producing the Maduro? That sucks, I really liked it quite a bit. But, the Sumatra is very good as well, and at least one of the blends is going into production.

    For sizes, I liked the Toro quite a bit, but I wouldn't mind seeing a Torpedo, Corona, and Robusto also.

    As far as the name, I do like Culmination like Lassy suggested, but I still think Collabo would be a cool name too.

    He hasn't actually said that yet. I hope he holds off on that decision until more feedback comes in. LIKE MINE !!!! LMAO
