Good small cigars
 

Anyone have a good small cigar they recommend?

I have been trying to find a quick smoke- something for the drive home from work, or when the weather isn't cigar friendly. I have tried a few different things and almost every mini cigar or cigarillo I've had has been almost flavorless, so I'm thinking something along the lines of a panatela or small panatela, which I've had better luck with.

Thanks in advance.

the CAO tins aren't bad at all the MX2 dagger is a little treat!

Re: Good small cigars
 

Smaller than a panatela; the Tatuaje Petite is tasty!!! Has a lot of pop in it too!

I'm a fan of Fuente Short Story' :ss

I like the AF Exquisitos SG. Solid taste from such a small format and it has that razor sharp AF burn. :tu :tu

Re: Good small cigars
 

Had the AF Exquisito Maduro. Pretty decent and probably the best little cigar I've had so far.

I've only had one short story and I loved it. Maybe I'm a slow smoker, but it wasn't that quick of a smoke for me. I'm looking for something around 15 minutes maybe, definitely less than 30.

I smoke a lot a "small" cigars, mainly in the car on the way to and back from work.

I smoke the following sticks on a regular basis:
Rocky Patel Juniors (Maduro & Natural)
Famous Maduritos
Plasencia Organica Nesticos
Drew Estates Tabak Especial Colada Dulce

All of the above are around 4" X 38 RG and last about 20-30 minutes. They all have a great flavor and come in boxes of 25 - 40 sticks.

If I'm looking for a really quick smoke, I've been smoking:
Excalibur Cigarillos - Tins of 20 Natural 4 x 24
Excalibur Miniatures - Tins of 20 Natural 3 x 22

The latter sticks last about 10 minutes - just right for a quick break with the cigarette smokers at work, the former sticks last about 15 minutes. Both have a very good flavor in a small "dry-cured" cigar.

Just my :2 and YMMV..... :ss

Re: Good small cigars
 

Ashton makes a good one, and it doesn't require humidification. They come in five packs. http://ashtoncigars.com/Ashton-Small-Cigars.jsp

Re: Good small cigars
 

AF Exquisitos Maduro are even better, IMHO!:)

Re: Good small cigars
 

DPG Black Perla & Rocky Patel Sun Grown Juniors

Re: Good small cigars
 

5 Vegas Shortys, these are tasty little buggers.

Re: Good small cigars
 

I've been smoking a lot of the little ERDM cafe au laits and cafe noirs,
tasty little snacks and a good smoke for the price.

Re: Good small cigars
 

Why don't these need humidification???? :confused:

Re: Good small cigars
 

RPSG petite perfectos (short stories) if you can find them are a nice spicy chile pepper of a smoke.

Re: Good small cigars
 

JR had a sale on tins a while back, 10 tins for about $65.

I got 5 tins of Montecristo White Petit Prontos, and 5 tins of Macanudo Ascots.

The whites are like big cigar smoke and flavor in a tiny size.

Re: Good small cigars
 

A lot of smaller ring gauge cigariilos are "dry-cured", somewhat like cigarettes. But they can be carried in a box or tin without drying out since they have a lower moisture content to start with.

Re: Good small cigars
 

Petite Cabaiguan
Petite Tatuaje
Padron Corticos

That should about do it.

Re: Good small cigars
 

This is a great cigar.:ss

Re: Good small cigars
 

:tpd:I've had a few of these this winter and I agree.

Re: Good small cigars
 

Outside of tins and those already mentioned, I would suggest:

HdM Sabrosos (maduro)--very chocolatey
Fire PC--very spicy
and my favorite: illusione 68--very good! but usually a bit longer than 30minutes

Re: Good small cigars
 

Oliva Serie G Maduro SPECIAL G.... the Hemingway short story is also quite good.

Re: Good small cigars
 

The Romeo Y Julieta Habana Reserve Amores are a decent little smoke. And like some others have said Tat Petits are awesome. One more would be Padilla 1932 La Perla.

Re: Good small cigars
 

these are good, but i cant believe nobody has mentioned the RASCC yet they are a GREAT 30 minute smoke!

Re: Good small cigars
 

For sure! :tu

Chicos are also good for a really quick smoke.

Re: Good small cigars
 

I tend to smoke the Illussione 68 when time is short..

Re: Good small cigars
 

Good to know. Thanks

Re: Good small cigars
 

RASCC, Party Short, Trini Reyes, all very nice smokes. They used to take me longer than 30mins to smoke though, atleast 45+min.

Fonseca KDT Cadets on the other hand, now those are good little 30min smokes, they had me on the same kinda hook that they hook slaughtered cattle with! if i had a little bit more spending money and some smoking time I'd be smoking those through each nostril!

Re: Good small cigars
 

Partagas Black Prontos. Full bodied taste in a little stick.
Second on the Padron Corticos too.

Re: Good small cigars
 

You didn't mention price point. I'm smoking a Padron 1964 Principe. It's fabulous.

:tpd: I have been really enjoying the london club at work, both the maduro and the natural (ems?) I prefer them over the londres personally. I usually have to re-light it a couple of times just because I usually have to put it down to go do something even after a couple re-lights it is still good.
