I recently went through a few cigar samplers and they had relatively thin to El Gordo.
And I've decided that I enjoy fatter sticks.
Not the, 'you need a fist to hold it' thick but generally thicker is better, to me.
They are wrapped more tightly for the most part. They burn more slowly and the wafting smoke is the taste rather than overpowering after an exhale.
Yes, subjective to be sure.
What's called 'full body cast' at Boneshaker. The exhale is full of flavor, no burn. And a funny aside - I use the draw enhancer to savor every last drop from these cigars.
Length is not a factor...yet. A nub or a Churchill works for me.I'm not the type to calculate how much smoke time I have. It's all a calculus of flavor. Which particular flavor works at the moment.
I've also taken to V cuts at the cap. It tends to leave more cigar and allows the smoke through a more narrow opening. Taste over smoke volume.
If you feel otherwise I would very much like to hear it.
