Terry Pomerantz’s favorite big cigars

Terry Pomerantz reveals which big cigars he likes best.

The characteristics of big cigars

The cigar leaves that are used to make Terry’s favorite big cigars are of excellent quality. 

Terry Pomerantz likes Dominican and Cuban cigars that use Corojo for the wrapper and Maduro for the filler.

Their length, diameter and gauge determine the size of the big cigars. 

The longer a cigar is, the larger its diameter and the more we talk about a “big” cigar. 

For example, a Churchill Romeo & Julieta No. 2 with a length of 178 mm and a band of 47 will be considered a “big” cigar.

In comparison, a Cohiba Panetela with a length of 115 mm and a band of 26 can be considered a “small” cigar.

Terry Pomerantz reminds all his readers that, “Cigar smoking is not without dangers. It is therefore important to smoke little and never inhale the smoke! Taste the aroma of your cigars with your taste buds, not your lungs!”
