as of late, I’ve been smoking 60 rings purely for ego lol nothing makes you feel more like a boss than a wide ring guage. i smoked a smaller ring guage the other night and was reminded of how pure the stick pulls! also nothing like the smoke output of a smaller ring gauge! I love it all
Just fell in love with cigars and the hobby this past year and always look forward to new uploads from you guys. Great cigar content that stays fun and interesting.
Me to I started out with robusto toro sizes I started my collection now I got diverse sizes and blends I think about 50 church hills 50 robusto and 35 corona which I smoke most
Love coronas and lanceros, what’s not to enjoy. When you want to focus on the wrapper or just want to experience more intense flavor I find the smaller rings are the way to go. One of my regulars is the Foundation Havana Seed 142. It’s a flat out banger in corona.
I never thought ring gauges impacted taste until a few months ago. I was used to smoking a TORO size of a particular brand. Went in to buy one, didn't have a TORO, bought the ROBUSTO. Instantly tasted the difference!!!
The sweet spot for me is 38 to 46, coronas and half Coronas, Corona gordo. But like you Mazz I smoke all sizes. Enjoy Robustos, and Belicosos... Great video fellas....
I’m loving the Oliva V blend lately. I usually smoke the double robusto or the Churchill extra if I have the time. I’ve never encountered the no. 4. I look forward to giving it try. Also the Don Carlos is one of my absolute favorite smokes, top three for sure! The robusto is my go to, but I’ll be trying the no. 3 after watching this vid. Thanks guys. Great post, as always.
Oliva Serie V number 4 and the Melanio number 4 are amazing. I love cigars in the 38-46 ring gauge range, in fact that's what I smoke 90% of the time and 50 ring gauge is about as big as I smoke.
Love you guys. Always top notch 🙏. Would love to see short cigars next. Petit robusto/corona etc. NUB. Didn’t you just call it the Europe model 😂 cheers from Sweden. Also, tequila pairing 😍love to see that as well.
See, I started off in the robusto-corona gorda range (the majority of the sticks I was getting in the Holt's COTM boxes) and I eventually ventured into the Lancero size and corona sizes of a couple of my favorite blends and now I think I'm kinda a thinner ring gauge guy 🤷 I even usually bring Lanceros to the links more than Churchills.
New to enjoying cigars. Have come across a couple channels that I watch most and this is one. Very helpful and learning a ton. Thank you. I tend to like the bigger ring gauge when I can enjoy and not be doing anything else. When I’m busy and moving I like the smaller.
I’m looking forward to trying the Padron 1964 in that size. One of my favorite smokes in my preferred ring gauge of 50 or so. Put that top 10 in a Sampler if you can. 👍🏽 PS. Smoked I this past Sunday. 👍🏽. This cigar never disappoints.
💯💯💯💯💯Awesome video as always. I'd try any of them. This morning i had the Ashton 8-9-8. This afternoon hoping to spark the Ashton Cabinet. And tonight hoping to spark the ESG.
I love this episode..very thankful for it. I recently turned 38 never smoked cigarettes a day in my life recently been watching vids on cigars took upon myself to buy a humidor tried a few cigars within the last 3months i would say im more into the smaller and small ring gage so far..just trying to find what i like since im fairly new..but im leaning more towards coffee sweater cream side..Hopefully i can fill my humidor with some nice selections in the future..thanks to your vids ive been learning more and more every time..im happy to be a new member of the culture. Thanks, Anthony and Anthony!🥃🍻
Love this channel, and also a small ring gauge cigar. As a guy in his 50s, on the cusp of old school, a corona feels familiar. A ring gauge anywhere between 42-49 is perfect, though cigars 50+ are perfect, too, in their own way. Burn & learn! The Oliva Connecticut Reserve Lonsdale (44 x 6.5) is a top five desert island pick - a wonderful toasty, buttery smoke in a great size. Thanks to Holt's for great cigars, excellent entertainment, and smoky education - cheers from north Georgia!
Probably the Padron. I’ve been away from padron for a very long time. Haven’t really seen a lot of them in this day and age. Everyone is trying for the new latest but you guys always hit. Can’t wait to put some in my humidor.
you know whats REALLY a forgotten size (cept for Cuba), the PETITE CORONA. you guys need to make a video for that vitola. Tatuaje’s havana VI angeles is my FAVORITE daily smoke in that size. criminally under rated 💯
Really great video guys. I love a corona for my after work smokes during the week. Gave us a great list of blends I been wanting to try but maybe don’t invest into them for availability and price reasons. That Don Carlos and Ashton cabinet will be my next corona pickups.
That monte 1935 is my arch nemesis and I question my decision to ever start smoking. It kicks my ass every time. One day I will defeat it 💪🏾 great list btw. The Ashton symmetry is one of my all time faves.
I had my first Oliva series V box pressed today which I enjoyed very much, but did notice it packed a bit of a punch. Def should eat prior to smoking that stick. Great suggestions, the LADC looks fantastic. Thank you!
I think my next try will be the Olivia or Tatajaue next !! Another great video aswell fellas , enjoying learn some knowledge and trying different brands
How you doing Mr Antony I have been watching your videos once I started to smoke cigars in July I have tried different sizes and different cigars but I landed on the Oliva Melanio and also the the monte cristo Diamante, I feel those are phenomenal cigars and the size I prefer is 6/60 but if possible can you do a review on the Monte Cristo Diamante thank you
Damn...How do I apply for this gig!? So have had many of these...V #4 is always in my humi. Will need to try the Tat and the Monty, have not had those. Salud...just opened my Nov CoM pack ready to dive in.
Cigar I am on the hunt for now, that I haven’t seen in my lounge in NC is going to be that Padrón Monarcha. I stumbled on an AF Spanish Lonsdale and love it. I also put it in the humidor at the distillery I work for(Brad Halling American Whiskey Ko.). Great picks!!!
Great list. I definitely want to try the Don Carlos in that smaller ring gauge. I love the No. 2. It’s my favorite cigar. And I really want to smoke more Ashton cigars. Will definitely look into the Cabinet line
You'll find the Cabinet shares the quality of subtle inherent sweetness like the Don Carlos. Different flavor profiles but both are truly enjoyable and expertly made by Fuente!
I love the corona size I started out on bigger and larger ring gauges but now corona is my favorite and as I clear out space on my second shelf on my humidor it’s being replaced with corona. The other shelf’s are reserved for Churchill and rubusto
Don Carlos #4 may not make it home from the lounge tomorrow. You guys read my mind when developing content. I’ve smoked almost exclusively Churchills in the 50+ range. Just got into the idea of premium cigarillos and have enjoyed it. Thanks for the premium recommendations in your previous video. Got me thinking a corona or something small might really hit the spot without the 1.5 hour time requirement.
I probably smoke a lancero/panatela more than most cigar smokers. No reason other than they remind me of the cigars in the old gangster movies like Little Caesar and I think they look cool.
Clicked the wrong box when ordering this cigar from Holt's, when this Lancero arrived, I said...dang! Ordered the wrong one!!! Set it aside for awhile. Lit one up about a month later and was blown away! It was great!!! A Don Pepin Garcia Original Blue Label!
I just watched your Cameroon wrapper video. Fach (?) got lots of love on his fashion. I have to say he is styling very well here, very manly yet bold colors. As to the cigars, was that a maduro wrapper on Fach's. Have to be careful though, they can be a knockout. Maybe a review of maduro wrappers. Got turned on to these years ago in Maui, the ONYX line. Cheers from Canada
Great content again guys well done. Suggestion from me: I think it’s time to mix it up a bit with tastings of cigars of different brands you haven’t covered / covered less. Just an example: Ligas, Joya dN, alex bradley, Byron, H upmann, Dunbarton, and other botique brands / blends we might not even know of would be awesome. We know the ashton, my father, la aroma etc etc well by now since it gets covered so much on this channel.. Great channel keep it up!
I smoked the 898 last week and really was not all that impressed with the smaller ring gauge. Just felt funny and the taste to me was a little bit off. One thing I have learned is if your cigar starts to taste what some would call better if you purge it while it’s still lit, the flavor takes on a whole new meaning.everybody’s pallet is different.
Big ring gauge next?!??
Already got you covered!! Here are Faccia's 60 Ring Gauge picks: th-cam.com/video/PfZY97WpC-4/w-d-xo.html
They just did one last week lol
I’m a simple man. I see a Holts video uploaded 40 seconds ago, I watch.
simple
👊🏽
as of late, I’ve been smoking 60 rings purely for ego lol nothing makes you feel more like a boss than a wide ring guage. i smoked a smaller ring guage the other night and was reminded of how pure the stick pulls! also nothing like the smoke output of a smaller ring gauge! I love it all

Me to I started out with robusto toro sizes I started my collection now I got diverse sizes and blends I think about 50 church hills 50 robusto and 35 corona which I smoke most
Same I would say beginning of this year have only 2 a month but love what these guys suggest it's helped me big time
Glad to have you with us on the channel 👊❤
Im obsessed with the Don Pepin Original. The flavors are outstanding!!!!
When I started off I wanted to go for the biggest possible just for the look of it but that 47/49 is the perfect ring gauge
Love coronas and lanceros, what’s not to enjoy. When you want to focus on the wrapper or just want to experience more intense flavor I find the smaller rings are the way to go. One of my regulars is the Foundation Havana Seed 142. It’s a flat out banger in corona.
thank you guys for your time making these videos
Ashton Symmetry
Padron 1964
Oliva Serie V
Montecristo 1935
I used to like big ring gauges now I prefer the smaller ones 50 and under!
I never thought ring gauges impacted taste until a few months ago. I was used to smoking a TORO size of a particular brand. Went in to buy one, didn't have a TORO, bought the ROBUSTO. Instantly tasted the difference!!!
What size did you like better?
👏👏👏
Arent toro and robusto usually about the same ring gauge, just different lengths? @@WigWagWorkshop
They're close! Robustos are usually 5x50, and toros are usually 6x52
I love 6 by 50 or the other way, 5 by 52 or 5 by 54.
Absolutely love the videos you guys make! Thanks so much for the great content :) I love the slimmer ring gauge cigars - very elegant and enjoyable!
The sweet spot for me is 38 to 46, coronas and half Coronas, Corona gordo.
But like you Mazz I smoke all sizes. Enjoy Robustos, and Belicosos...
Great video fellas....

I just love you guys smoking cigars,something i can only dream about
I"m looking forward to trying the Oliva V. I bet it's delicious!
Cheers fellas, we love you guys too. I've definitely never heard of that padron size, I'll be on the hunt.
👊
Always top notch video.
Mazz brought the style today. Sharp. Looking forward to this video as I prefer smaller ring gauges.
Another great show guys! Looking forward to trying the Ashton for the first time!
Oliva Serie O for the win. Yours is great too.
Salute to you awesome Dudes, always enjoy your videos 👍👍
🫡
If I have my way, I’m always choosing something around 5.5-6.5 in length with a 46-48 ring gauge. Glad to see these getting some love on the channel.
I don't get tired of writing it... You guys are the best
The Tatuaje is easily one of my favorite cigars. Had one that reminded me so much of the Cuban Monte no.4🔥
Oliva Serie V number 4 and the Melanio number 4 are amazing. I love cigars in the 38-46 ring gauge range, in fact that's what I smoke 90% of the time and 50 ring gauge is about as big as I smoke.
Nothing better than a lonsdale or corona. Smaller rings are hands down my favorite! Great video boys!
Boom! Another great video
Love the Sobremesa Cervantes Fino. Great cigar, incredible flavors.
Love you guys. Always top notch 🙏. Would love to see short cigars next. Petit robusto/corona etc. NUB. Didn’t you just call it the Europe model 😂 cheers from Sweden. Also, tequila pairing 😍love to see that as well.

@@holtscigars yesssir they were awesome. Did my review of them on my channel. Loved them all. Now I have to go get the ESG.
We got em last night, boys! 🇺🇸 thanks for all your vids!
Thanks for the support Travis 👊
Nothing like a great Double Oaked! Great pairing choice! Great content!❤
My go-to is always a 60ga. Y'all are my favorite cigar talk duo.
Currently smoking the don pepin garcia blue band in this format you chose. I'm really enjoying it ❤
🙌🙌
I’m looking forward to trying the symmetry
I love this episode..very thankful for it. I recently turned 38 never smoked cigarettes a day in my life recently been watching vids on cigars took upon myself to buy a humidor tried a few cigars within the last 3months i would say im more into the smaller and small ring gage so far..just trying to find what i like since im fairly new..but im leaning more towards coffee sweater cream side..Hopefully i can fill my humidor with some nice selections in the future..thanks to your vids ive been learning more and more every time..im happy to be a new member of the culture.

Welcoem aboard, glad to have you with us on the channel!
I have to wonder, how often do you have to dry clean your suits to get out the cigar smoke?
Love this channel, and also a small ring gauge cigar. As a guy in his 50s, on the cusp of old school, a corona feels familiar.
A ring gauge anywhere between 42-49 is perfect, though cigars 50+ are perfect, too, in their own way. Burn & learn!

Thanks to Holt's for great cigars, excellent entertainment, and smoky education - cheers from north Georgia!
Thanks for sharing, cheers from Philly!
Would be great if you had a sampler pack of these on your website for easy buying!
Probably the Padron. I’ve been away from padron for a very long time. Haven’t really seen a lot of them in this day and age. Everyone is trying for the new latest but you guys always hit. Can’t wait to put some in my humidor.
Don Carlos was a great one, fairly new to cigars, but I’m enjoying 46-54 ring gauge with a mild Maduro wrap blend. Such a phenomenal experience.
you know whats REALLY a forgotten size (cept for Cuba), the PETITE CORONA. you guys need to make a video for that vitola.
Tatuaje’s havana VI angeles is my FAVORITE daily smoke in that size. criminally under rated 💯
Really great video guys. I love a corona for my after work smokes during the week. Gave us a great list of blends I been wanting to try but maybe don’t invest into them for availability and price reasons. That Don Carlos and Ashton cabinet will be my next corona pickups.
That monte 1935 is my arch nemesis and I question my decision to ever start smoking. It kicks my ass every time. One day I will defeat it 💪🏾 great list btw. The Ashton symmetry is one of my all time faves.
We believe in you 😂
As a beginner I enjoy 50-52 ring cigars.. slowly going up as I go.. thanks for the vid! 🙏🏼
Getting into cigars at 32. Been watching plenty of your videos and already have a couple of cigars at home, all coronas as you recommended!
welcome aboard, hope you enjoy!
The small partagas were awesome
I had my first Oliva series V box pressed today which I enjoyed very much, but did notice it packed a bit of a punch. Def should eat prior to smoking that stick. Great suggestions, the LADC looks fantastic. Thank you!
You all Rock. Although I smoke mostly 50 to 54 ring gauges my favorites are 42 to 48. Most shops I go to carry robustos & Toros.
I think my next try will be the Olivia or Tatajaue next !! Another great video aswell fellas , enjoying learn some knowledge and trying different brands
How you doing Mr Antony I have been watching your videos once I started to smoke cigars in July I have tried different sizes and different cigars but I landed on the Oliva Melanio and also the the monte cristo Diamante, I feel those are phenomenal cigars and the size I prefer is 6/60 but if possible can you do a review on the Monte Cristo Diamante thank you
Great video i usually smoke 50 and up but im going to the shop tomorrow and try your suggestion 😀
Never tried the 1964, think I'll go hunting it. Awesome channel
It's definitely a must-try!
Sobremesa Brûlée Blue is an excellent smaller ring gauge cigar in the smooth and creamy side of the spectrum
Wonderful info guys, thanks for the vid from here in the 🇬🇧
Our pleasure!
Damn...How do I apply for this gig!? So have had many of these...V #4 is always in my humi. Will need to try the Tat and the Monty, have not had those. Salud...just opened my Nov CoM pack ready to dive in.
Cigar I am on the hunt for now, that I haven’t seen in my lounge in NC is going to be that Padrón Monarcha. I stumbled on an AF Spanish Lonsdale and love it. I also put it in the humidor at the distillery I work for(Brad Halling American Whiskey Ko.). Great picks!!!
Great list. I definitely want to try the Don Carlos in that smaller ring gauge. I love the No. 2. It’s my favorite cigar. And I really want to smoke more Ashton cigars. Will definitely look into the Cabinet line
You'll find the Cabinet shares the quality of subtle inherent sweetness like the Don Carlos. Different flavor profiles but both are truly enjoyable and expertly made by Fuente!
My Father Cedros Deluxe Eminentes, Tatuaje 7th Capa Especial Sumatra, should have been on this list.
I love coronas and panatela cigars. I find, as a newer smoker it helps me find wrapper flavors I enjoy
I am really starting to enjoy corona and corona gorda sizes. Hat a Tatuaje black and a Havana vi lately in corona gorda and they both hit.
Tatuajes tend to do that 😉😋
I defiantly enjoy smaller gauges for more medium complex blends. I like 52 ring on spice bombs or full bodied cigars
I love the corona size I started out on bigger and larger ring gauges but now corona is my favorite and as I clear out space on my second shelf on my humidor it’s being replaced with corona. The other shelf’s are reserved for Churchill and rubusto
Dont smoke many small rings but the Padron has me intrigued.
Don Carlos #4 may not make it home from the lounge tomorrow. You guys read my mind when developing content. I’ve smoked almost exclusively Churchills in the 50+ range. Just got into the idea of premium cigarillos and have enjoyed it. Thanks for the premium recommendations in your previous video. Got me thinking a corona or something small might really hit the spot without the 1.5 hour time requirement.
these picks are right up your alley!
Definitely will try the palencia
I smoke outside, and it’s getting cold ! So yea definitely gonna give some smaller formats a shot !
I probably smoke a lancero/panatela more than most cigar smokers. No reason other than they remind me of the cigars in the old gangster movies like Little Caesar and I think they look cool.
Sounds like a great future sampler!😉
Clicked the wrong box when ordering this cigar from Holt's, when this Lancero arrived, I said...dang! Ordered the wrong one!!! Set it aside for awhile. Lit one up about a month later and was blown away! It was great!!! A Don Pepin Garcia Original Blue Label!
🔥🔥🔥 thank you for your support!
I’m not picky, I’d try any of them.💨💨💨
I never smoke anything less than 50 until last night I smoked the Brulee Blue and was blown away
Rojas cigars. The king of small ring gauge 👍
I am a 50 ring Guage and above..I am still learning more about the wrappers and the sizes
Top three cigars this year all Lancero and fabulous 1) Cohiba Riviera 2) AF Gran Reserva 3) El Mago Lotus
Great video!!
Panatela fan all the way thru!!
I love those 40-something ring gauges. Sell a sampler!
Alright serious question, the sock game is 🔥 but how do you not lose these socks in the drier?
I just watched your Cameroon wrapper video. Fach (?) got lots of love on his fashion. I have to say he is styling very well here, very manly yet bold colors. As to the cigars, was that a maduro wrapper on Fach's. Have to be careful though, they can be a knockout. Maybe a review of maduro wrappers. Got turned on to these years ago in Maui, the ONYX line. Cheers from Canada
Plasencia is my new go to
Love the Don Carlos robusto myself.
I would like to see an Ashton ESG in corona.
Great content again guys well done.

Whats purging
@ blowing out instead of inhaling.
Always prefer a shade grown cigar in a smaller ring gauge but interested in trying a bolder cigar in the same format.
Double corona, Robusto and Toro are my favorite ring gauges. Just me though.
Going to try the 151
My favorite cigar at the moment is the Rose of Sharon lancero from Southern Draw.
Favorite boutique brand list next? One of my favorites is a rodriguez reserva privada
Holt's SMOKINNNNN'
Thanks for the toast. I’m joining with my budget friendly Ancient Age.
Can you give a history and preference on smoking nubs. Short smoke. Any gauge
Thank you
When is there gonna be another long ash competition 😊
Now it is time to have a video with the best lanceros on the market
14:49 I'm sure grapes appreciate the raisin equality
Make my Christmas you should sell a sampler pack with all 10
