Okay, it's not a fattish lancero. I always thought a typical corona was less than 5 inches long, but I've never seen an "official" definition, so I could well be wrong about that.

Well, there is some variance. Manufacturers will call a corona anything from 5-6.5 inches long and from 42-46 in ring gauge.

I think perhaps you're thinking of a petit corona, which typically weighs in around 4.5 x 42. But again, it is hard to definitively peg a dimension to a name because so many companies make them to different standards. Makes for some confusion, don't it?

I must have over 300 cigars in my humidors if not more. I think I can ignore them. I also only allow myself a god of fire OR Don Carlos 30th anniversary once every two to three months. I think I have maybe 26 of the Don Carlos and maybe 36 God of fire. I got the God of Fires back in May or June of 2007. A few are from 2004, most are from 2005 and I have a box of the Piramide from this year.

Wheel, what do you think of the GOF's? I have about 8 carlitos in my aging humi and have yet to spark one up. Just curious, as you don't see nearly as many reviews of those as the Opus. I'm wondering if it's just because the GOF is a newer cigar in comparison to the opus.

I think they are pretty strong. I have both the Carlito and Don Carlos. The Don Carlos was rated 93 I think. Lot's of smoke. The next time I have one, I'll give you more details. It has been a while since I have had one.

Out of the 2, which would you recommend? I'm thinking about getting a box @ cigar.com...?

I seem to like the God of Fire by Don Carlos better. That is my preference though. I may have to brak one out this weekend. Maybe I'll smoke one of each. I do have a lot more of the Carlito since he made more sizes. I bought a box of each size last year and one of the Piramides this year.

have you thought about getting one of the samples of each before buying a box? I know they come in packs of three.

That may be a good idea. From the reviews I've read I think I would lean towards the don carlos though.

Every time I see the letter X it makes me think of the Opus X.... So I had to get a few. I picked up two each of the #2, #4, #5 and Fuentes Fuentes. Now instead of looking in my humidor three times a day, I look in there five times a day. They sure are pretty !! I hope they are as good as I expect them to be.

I went back and bought a couple of the XXX's, this past weekend, so I've got those, the #3's and the Fuente Fuente's. Between the two of us, I think we have every size covered.

Has anyone tried the Fuente Anejo? I was wondering which one would be more recommended? I cannot find any opus X's anywhere and cigar.com seems sold out. If the Anejo is close I'd like to give it a try..

I, and several others here, love the Anejo. I can't say how it compares to the Opus, but the Anejo is definitely worth retail (~$12-15) when you can get them.
