But even here It can be seen the trend towards larger ring sizes. Even with the Cubans. That surprises me a bit. The last tobacco crops were not too good. And when I think that for large formats much tobacco is needed, I'm worried about the availability and/or the quality of the cigars. I personally doubt. But the future will tell.
