I had an VSG yesterday that was smaller and tightly box pressed. Normally the VSG is on of my favorite smokes. I really didn't enjoy that one like usual. I usually stick to Robusto sized smokes because the size feels right in my hand. Smaller vitolas usually burn too hot for me and bigger ring sizes just feel too big in my mouth. I do switch it around every once in a while and am sometimes pleasantly surprised. It’s amazing how different vitolas of the same cigar have a completely different flavor profile.

I was leaning to maybe the Origen Torpedo and Lancero. But LFD and Pepin also make fantastic lanceros. Decisions.... Decisions. I haven’t decided yet on what I’m going to do.

Changing up sizes can definitely help to push the boundaries of your palette and interests. My personal favorite experiment is trying a lancero counterpart of a favored high ring gauge cigar to really experience the wrapper contributions. *shameless plug* There are a few posts about lanceros vs robustos on the blog of the leaf http://botl.cigarseveryday.com/tag/size-comparison/ */shameless plug* This is a great challenge for your readers.
