Cabaiguan Petites...

Yes, a bit pricy at about $3/stick, but man are they good. Delicious cedar and spice that comes in a manageable 30-45 minute smoke. Have gone though 2 boxes in about 6 months, and about to buy another one. Its the best small cigar that I have found, especially after 6 months to a year in the humi. My last box was 2 years old and absolutley amazing:ss

Andrew, next time you're in Vineland and stop by Oro Cubano pick up one of their PC sized bundles. A little larger format than you're looking for but a nice little smoke and for $15 for a bundle of 25 the price is right. I finally made it there one day when I went into town for some business. An hour later I walked out with about 50 smokes! :r

These: http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/s...m/ihdnum/21868

Kinda pricey at retail but can be had on auction for much less. They also come as giveaways with another purchase fairly often.

Not too bad. It got a little harsh so I slowed down and that helped.

That is a cool shop, I haven't been in there in a while but last time I was in the House rolled cigars were anything but cheap - like $8 and up a stick. I'll have to swing by next time I'm in town.

The singles were expensive, but I bought a Corona Gorda bundle for $75 and a PC bundle for $15. I asked before I bought to make sure they were the same as what was on the singles shelves and they said yes. Hopefully they are! :r They're pretty good either way.

Smoked a Little Havana Cigar half corona, 4 X 40 connecticut wrapper, this morning. Good 45 minute smoke, IMO. The half coronas are also available in maduro and the bambino, 4 X 32 connecticut, which I haven’t tried.

I figured I'd bump this rather than create a new thread. I'm looking for a good small cigar to keep on hand for quick fixes so I can finally lose the cigarettes. Ideal would be medium to full flavor with a burn time of 15 minutes or less.
CI and Famous have some good candidates, but don't seem to offer them in less than large bundles. I'd prefer to pick up a 5er or sampler first rather than order blind.

:tpd:

after burning through (no pun intended) a 5 pack of Trini Reyes in the course of two weeks, I can say with renewed confidence that the Party short is still king.

edit: and to make things worse, I just got an email from my guys saying the 50cabs are back in stock. Damn you slope! How am I supposed to save for retirement?

If you don't wanna go to your local shop and pick up a tin of something, then mebbe you should search the sites for one offering a freebie tin with something in your regular rotation. This happens often enough so that it should not be too hard to find. Just :2

My local shop is out as they mainly carry stuff like Dutch Masters and White Owls, and a very limited selection of highly over-priced premium sticks.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm mainly limited to accessing the internet on my phone right now and most of the sites aren't very WAP-friendly.

These may be right up your alley. Not too full of flavor, but a nice quick long filler smoke: http://www.holts.com/category.html?i...66&trail=86665.

There are better, but for the money and as an aid to quell the cigarettes, they aren't too shabby.

Buying 50 would suck if you didn't like them...shoot me your addy and I'll send you a handful to try out. :tu

AVO Puritos and Zino Platinum XS tins are outstanding. Depends on your tobacco tax, but around here they sell for about $20 per tin/10.

Jeff, JRs has a special on tins at the moment - 50 each of 2 select brands for about $55-$70, depending. I'd post their site for you, but the last time I tried to help someone with that somebody deleted the thread, pronto.

If anyone likes these, JR has them for $10 a box (for the natural wrapper) with another qualifying purchase. I got some, just because $0.42 per stick seemed to good to pass up. I enjoyed the first.
