I was in Philadelphia on business and went into Holts.  Looking around, I saw some 80 gauge cigars.  When will that novelty end?

Anything above 54-56ish and I'll pass.  I don't care to have a toilet roll tube in my mouth.
 
This.
 
Really, anymore I don't like anything above 52 unless it's a torpedo or perfecto.  And give me a nice corona gorda anyday!

80 !?!?!  
 
What were the lengths of these ?
 
How would you cut them ? I guess with a knife ?
 
And for shorter smoke times they can make a 4" x 80 gauge, which will make it look like my tuna can.  :laugh:
 
I smoked an asylum ogre (7x70) and that took forever. I normally like smaller ring gauges but someone I trusted recommended it so I figured I'd give it a try. Tat sucker was overboard, an 80 gauge is ridiculous.
 
I had ordered a few of the Perdomo Inmenso's for shits and giggles a few years back.  For $4/stick, they were still overpriced/lousy cigars.  
 
Everyone in the bar would have to walk over and ask where you get cigars like that.  You could set it down standing on its ash just fine (since it would lay in the ashtray).  It would get the girls excited, until you brought them home and they found out the cigar was the biggest thing they were going to see that night....
 
The whole big ring thing is a fad.  Yes, bigger ring smokes have some advantages, but some disadvantages as well.  Some of my fave smokes are lanceros, so big ring does not equal a better smoke automatically.  I'll stick with the good smokes, let other guys chase these ridiculous monsters.
