But, you know some people can pull anything off and make it look cool.

I prefer Robustos by default and look for that size when shopping for an occasional 'nice' cigar. Also enjoy Coronas and cigarillos from time to time depending on mood/situation.

I read an article recently that said most cigar testers and aficionados prefer lanceros, since the wrapper has a more pronounced presence and allows them to really taste the various tobaccos in the stick. Sure enough, some of the best cigars I've had are lanceros. The ones from Tabernacle are amazing, but I can't afford to buy them too often. Typically, I prefer big cigars because I usually want it go on for an hour and a half or so.

I prefer coronas, lonsdales, and panatelas for hand made cigars.
I also like Swishers in the slim size, G&V elegantes with the candela wrapper, and the little Italian dark fired cigars if I'm wanting a shorter or simpler experience.
I do miss having access to Cuban cigars.

I slept on Lanceros for 30+ years and it was the Tabernacle Havana seed that opened my eyes to them.

Overall, my favorite size is a corona gorda (5-5/8 x 46). I do like robustos and belicosos as well.

One thing that I typically don't go to are smokes with a ring gauge larger than 52. I don't want to dislocate my jaw to get one of those big bastards in my gob. I also don't really care for smokes that are box pressed. I don't like how they sit flat in my mouth and if the burn is off, rotating the cigar 90 degrees is ridiculous. Some exceptions to that rule though, like the Foundation Olmec.
