I'm pretty sure I was gifted an El Original (not the lancero), that has been kicking around in my humi for a year or two. I'm going to find that sucker and spark it up after work! :D As for the different vitola discussion, I've already posted why I think people (myself included) prefer smaller RG cigars, in the comments section of your Illusione ~mk~ review. But, why would people prefer the larger RG's? Well, it could be like you said that they think the larger RG cigars will be more flavourful/complex and fuller-bodied because of the greater amount of tobacco in the cigar. Or, perhaps it's because some smaller RG cigars (like the lancero's) tend to be harder to find and, in some cases, more expensive than your run-of-the-mill robusto. But I think another big factor, especially for a lot of beginning cigar smokers, is that some guys (not all) think the larger RG cigars are more "masculine" than their smaller cousins (i.e. they adopt an "if you smoke a big cigar, you must be a big man" mentality). Of course, this isn't the case for all large RG cigar smokers and I don't mean to make generalizations. There are certainly just as many large RG enthusiasts who base their vitola preference on the specific attributes of the vitola...just as small RG smokers do with the lancero, petit corona, panatella, etc. But, I do feel that there are some who disregard the smaller RG cigars without ever really giving them a chance. Jesus, I've almost got a short novel written here! Sorry to take up so much of your comment space! :D Lab Great review Chris!
