I’m a fan of Padron Cigars the Padron 3000 and 5000 are my go to choices and also if you can find them the Padron 1964 anniversary series is really awesome as well. ---

But yes size makes a huge difference in taste, the black labels I have are homeruns no matter the size. But if you smoke a clasico (robusto) and then light up a magnifico (toro) you will notice that they have a very similar flavor but the robusto really brings out the best of the cigar. Im not 100% sure exactly how this works, you’d think same cigar, same tobacco, same leaf, would mean same flavor, but the smaller cigars 3 out of 4 times just seem to bring that extra bit of flavor to the table. ---

I think it has a lot to do with the gauge size, just like how many smokers that prefer a more concentrated and flavorful draw will use a punch instead of a guillotine cutter, the smaller the gauge the more concentrated the flavoring is. ---

I use my punch on larger gauges and my cutter on smaller gauges, the punch also works great on cigars that have draw problems. ---

I went to a cigar shop in Queensbury over the weekend and some of the cigars were big money. I ended up buying a Tatiana vanilla flavored one. It was pretty good and only $5. Later on in my drunken stupidness I smoked a bunch of White Owls and a Phillie or two from the gas station. ---
