Since they got rid of the Lonsdale cigar which was my favorite. Anyone try this one?

Not sure about the exact one you're looking at, but I've had Upmann cigars that were very good. And considering no more than these cost, it really can't be a bad deal.

I think you should try em and then give us a range report. ;)

I agree with the Lonsdale vitola. My absolute fav size, but rarely found outside Cuba these days.
The size you indicate in the link would be acceptable to me, too.
I really go against the grain with the love it seems everyone has to big ring gauges. Less then
50 for me, and 6" or less on the length. Robusto IF I have too! ;)

It does seem that a lot of cigar companys are pushing the 50 ring ones. Did more searching and found this. Not cheap.

Many of the manufacturers that I've talked to claim THEY prefer the smaller ring-gauges, but their customers
want 60's. Likewise, I really can't expect my local B&M to have more then 3-4 facings of any one cigar,
and, sadly, those don't include a less then 50 ring.
