Your Favorite Coronas Gordas

[Ginseng]

Hi guys,

Just curious what the community is currently thinking. Which coronas gordas (5-5/8 x 46rg) is your favorite right now? Do you have one for immediate smoking and another for medium-term aging?

The coronas gordas is a nice size situated between the shorter and beefier robustos and the longer, slimmer dalias vitolas. I like this size for the easy smoking and rich flavors that can be achieved with these proportions.

i will go with a Siglo VI and then follow it up with a nice aged SLR A. For 3rd place it would goto the Mag 46.

My vote is SLR Serie A for consistency. I had one this morning
coincidently, always full of flavor.

Punch Punch is second for me on the list.

Edit to add: Cohiba Siglo VI is not a Corona Gorda as far as I know,
it's 5 7/8 x 52 = Churchill!

Damn Wilkey is slipping. Instead of the Siglo VI, I would then pick the IV as my top choice. The other 2 are still that same.

Cañonazo, my friend. The julieta2 (churchill) is one of my favorite vitolas and comes in at the ever classic 7" x 47 rg.

No, this is hardly a "churchill" (you really meant julieta which is 7 x 47). The Sig VI is a "canonazo" vitola.

all time favorite(by a mile)...upmann super coronas

next psd3 from '02(still have an untried box)

magnum46...if they have a few years(so i voted for these)

rs#11...if they have many , many years

the further a cigar is from mareva size...the less chance i will smoke one(on any given night)...dont smoke many cg's but when i feel like a larger cigar these are about as large as i go.

I did not include either the Punch SS2 or HU SuperCoronas because they are no longer widely available.

Currently I'm really into Hoyo de Monterrey's.
The Epicure No. 1 (with some age on them) is a wonderful corona gorda.
