Favorite small cigar?
 

I'm a big fan of the small cigar, 4 x30ish is the perfect size for before dinner or grilling a couple quick burgers for dinner.

For slightly bigger cigars I really like the Oliva Special G and the Arturo Feunte Short Story (the short story is tough on the wallet though) but sometimes I want something even quicker.

I'm loving the Arturo Fuente Cubanitos, especially the maduro. I'm also liking the H. Upmann Demitasse and (laugh if you will) Macanudo Ascots, which were what really got me into cigars.

I'm looking to grab a couple more tins - anyone else have a small cigar they are really digging?

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I agree with you on the Special Gs and Short Stories....but that is as small as I have ever gone!

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I'm glad you are liking the Special G's, that was a good box split. :tu

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Others I like include:

JR Ultimate Habanitos
R&J Romeos
Hoyo Sabrosas

and for dry-cured you can just stick in your shirt pocket for whenever, Villiger Exports ain't bad at all.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Indeed it was...a great quick smoke. I go to them often!:banger

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Oh man, I tried one of those recently and really, really did not like it! I have one more so I'll try it again at some point when I'm feeling brave but it tasted almost like it was flavored.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Short Stories and JR Habanitos. I tell you the trouble I went through to find a box of short stories recently was amazing. Why do you all have to like them so much.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Love the Short Stories and Special G's. How about the Illusione 68? Another one that can put a hurt on the wallet, but is definitely tasty.

Not quite as small, but a good value is the Punch Champion.

In the PC size, I'm a big fan of the Tatuaje Noella.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I've heard mixed reviews about the Villagers. I hear the maduros are better than the naturals, but I dont think I'll be trying any any time soon as I dont tinhk there are any local shops carry them here. I'll have to try and find them elsewhere.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

+1 on the Punch Champion...all though it is a good deal longer to smoke!

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Some Pepin smokes come to mind for me.

The Black Label Perlas, the Blue Label Demi Tasse. You also have the Petite Cabaiguan and Tatuaje, which taste great, but they're pretty pricey for small smokes.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Hardly a day goes by when I don't smoke at least a 5 pack of Montecristo Puritos.

I love those things and always have a few in my front pocket at work.

The Partagas Chicos are good, but not as as the Puritos for my tastes.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

That's two for the Habanitos. Do you guys have a preference for the maduro or natural?

I was looking at the Petite Tats but you are right - that's about 5 times what I'm looking to spend on a cigar that size. I do have one Blue Label DT that I got in a box pass a while back but even they are a little on the pricey side for such a tiny cigar.


I have a box of the Chicos and I'm not over the moon for them, I'll look into the Montes. :tu

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

los statos delerios...cheap and imho :tu

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

:tpd:

~$3 per seems a little steep

blackcat cigars has a nice deal on the black label perlas, still about $3 a stick when you factor in shipping and that they're only 20 to a box

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Short Stories and DP Firecrackers!!!

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I got them at my local B&M, next time I'm in if they still some I'll grab a couple for you. Don't hold me responsible for the result though. :r

Those are pretty darn good for the price too!

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I am a whore for anything maduro.



Ya. And to think I was happy when I scored a box of Stories for $4.60 a stick.

I just try not to think about the size. It isn't the size of the stick it's the taste in my mouth.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

That's what she said. And for the record I don't consider the Short Story in the same class as the other "tinned" cigars I was talking about. That is a real cigar as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I like the cut of your jib.

Also Party Shorts for CCs

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

The Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote is a tasty little cigar, though it might be a little larger than what you're looking for. I like that H Upmann Demi Tasse too ... the SP is bigger but definitely good.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I really should read what I write :bh

I don't see it the same as a tinned cigar either, but it's so good I had to mention it and agree.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

:tu No worries.

If you can still get them try to find a CFO (cigar factory outlet) "Not a short story", it is pretty darn close for significantly less coin.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I think my favorites would be the Tatuaje Petit, and the DPG Black or Blue petit corona

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

QdO corona.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

One I like for a cheap tasty smoke is Punch London Club Maduro.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

old MC Joyitas :)

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Party short! hands down. (I'm about to light up a Trini Reyes though so that may change, we'll see)

but if I were to pick a NC I would say the Honduran ERdM tinos. It's a strange answer I know, but I got a box of these not too long ago with a '02 box date and they were some of the best NCs I've ever had.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Illusione 68 :tu

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

same here...along with the DPG firecrackers...they are a bit pricey..

Davidoff Cigarillos are my favs...powerful too.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Ramon Allones Small Club Corona (RASCC)

Ive seen them for prices that, when averaged per stick, are close to the tin of Oliva Gs I purchased last year.

One of my favorite cigars too

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I'm not a big fan of small tinned cigars but if you like the CAO Italia line, the piccolos are surprisingly good.

BTW, JR has a big sale on tinned cigars going on - think it's a brick of 50 for $30.

Cabaiguan Petite. Look no further.
:wo

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Those are what got me hooked. There was a special on buy one, get the second half off a year ago and they were 00's. If only I bought more. The Puritos are a close second though.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Punch margaritas

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

ERDM Cafe au Lait / Cafe Noir, Great little quickie for at work.:tu

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Party shorts for me...good fresh or aged.

I've tried both of these and they weren't bad. I don't usually buy many tinned cigars, but there is a good price on these: 50 of each for $60.... They're each about 4x30

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

NC-4x30-CAO Extreme Tin, Camacho Machito's Tin, LFD Tin
NC-Approx 5x38-Cabiguan Jr's, Camacho Corojo Petits,

CC-4/5x30-Partagas Chicos, Montecristo Joyitas, Punch Margaritas, Hoyo du Maire:2

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

PL Panatella
PL Montecarlos
Party Short

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

I would have to go with the Tat Junior in the size range you described.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Two other to consider:

Montecristo Afrique Safari
Punch Grand Puro Laguna

As for the JR Ultimate Habanitos, I think they only come EMS, so you don't have to decide btw nats and maddies. But since EMS is sorta btw nat and maddie anyway, you have in a certain way chosen both. In any case, I likes 'em.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Bolivar PC
Tat Noella Reserve
Punch RS12
Illusione 68
LFD Chilelito Maduro
Opus #5
LHO Corona

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Having a La Aroma de Cuba Interlude - 4.25 x 34(NC).

Pretty good!

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

The corona minor is another great small smoke from La Aroma (albeit larger than the interlude)

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Going with a 5 Vegas "Shorty" tonight while I wait for the grill to warm up.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Partagas Short for sure.

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Whatcha think about that stick?? I thought it tasted like a Kent Light. Much too tobacco-y and a little harsh/bitter.

I love maduros - so my best little stick:

5 Vegas A Anomaly

I got a box of 20 for $30 on CB a couple of months ago. They're cheap, so it's all right if you don't finish the entire thing. And they're tasty!!

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Oliva Special G is my favorite cigar regardless of size or price. They are real nice!

Re: Favorite small cigar?
 

Short Story for me, the only other cigar I smoke is the Cuchillios by Illusione.
