Some like them with a larger ring gauge, some like them a bit smaller.  I have always been a robusto guy, perfect balance of filler, binder and wrapper.  Lately I have been going into petit coronas and more lanceros (damn Bstessl and those JSK's).  With those, you will get more of the wrapper than you do in other sizes.

I prefer a good robusto/toro, right down the middle for me.  I will go smaller, and bigger on the right cigar, but that's my sweet spot size.

i prefer corona. if the line is blended for each size any size is fine though. but if i'm buying i stick with the smaller rings.

Robustos and toros for me.

It's an old cuban size which is 7x33 pretty much the same as a panatela which can run 6.5-7" and up to 38 ring gauge but not a lancero which tends to be 38-42 ring gauge

If every cigar were made in a Cuban Corona, I'd be a happy camper.  Lancero, corona, cuban corona, robustos and toro's.  Anything bigger than about 52RG is getting too big for my tastes.  Definitely don't go for those 60RG cigars.

I do enjoy coronas.  They have a good burn time, and being thinner you get the smoke hitting the back of the palate rather than the slow dispersal at the front of the palate that larger RG cigars produce.

I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
