Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

Any recommendations for a quality smoke that takes < 20 minutes? Living in the Midwest where the winters can be quite cold, which doesn't make for a pleasant environment for enjoying a nice cigar. I purchased some La Aurora Principes which aren't too bad for what they are, just curious if I'm missing the boat on something out there. Any help would be most appreciated!

I like the CAO 4"x38 sticks. Some have a rather tight draw, but are still long-filler hand made sticks. CI has tins of 5 for 12.50. They take me 20-25 minutes. I really like them for out in the garage too.

Your question is a bit vague. Almost all hand rolled cigars available in the US are of good quality. As to what tastes good that would depend on what you personally like. Everyone has their own favorites. I would look for something small in the brands you like, most of the major brands have a small cigar in their lineup.

Of the NC's available, the JFuego Origen's in the 5-pack(5x44) and the Tatuaje Verocu #5(4x40) are quite tasty in the Med/Med Full range. :2

I'm a big fan of the Avo Domaine Puritos.

I smoke em on the way to work, on the way home, and while walking the dog.

Heck, I even smoke em on just about any occasion that only allows me 10-15 minutes.

:tpd:
Tatuaje Petit Cazadores, Pepin Black Perlas, Tampa Swetthearts 500 Maddies. That basically sums up the ones I prefer.

That's just it, I really don't know what I like yet (silly noobs :(). I found the Principes and they seem to be agreeable, just was wondering what else was out there that I could try. Thanks for all the suggestions!

you must really like those john

I sometimes smoke the Nica Libre Principe for a short cold weather smoke too. The Oliva Serie G Special G takes closer to 40 minutes than 20 but it's just over $3 per so even if you have to toss it a little early it's not a crime. I love the Serie G in both wrappers.

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

Cabaiguan Petite and DPG Blue Demitase are two of my favorites.

Not intentionally trying to promote me blog, but I reviewed these little Montecristo
Pronto Petites, which I sent out to the troops. Not bad at all, pretty satisfying for
an all-tobacco machine made minuto. You can find them pretty cheap in some
places, although tobacco sales rules ended up making these tins of tiny cigars way
more expensive than they used to be, counting each of the ten individually as a taxable cigar.

Weird, how did that double post???? Can a mod please remove one? OK, back on topic.

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

Might I suggest the Newbie Sampler Trade. You can let the CIA person know you are interested in quick smokes, they might just surprise you.

Thanks for supporting the troops Brad!

Petit Cabaiguan, Petit Tatuajes, AF Short Story/Work of Art?

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

Im looking forward to the Los Blancos Nine when they come out in a 4x38 vitola and packaged 5 to a tin.

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

I've the CAO petites, and just picked up a five pack of the Origens and the 1 I've had was pretty good. I keep RP maduro juniors for a quick smoke also. The RPs and origens can be had for about a buck a each so if you have to toss it your not out that much.

In the middle of a trade right now.:tu

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

I like the Arturo Fuente Exquisitos for short smokes and the Macanudo Caviars aren't bad for a mild smoke. Both are cheap enough to try and see what you like. also depending on how fast you smoke, the Hemingway Short Story might fit the bill or Oliva Special G.

Reserva Miraflor PC,s :tu

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

CAO MX2 Daggers get my vote for NCs.

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

illusione 68 are 30ish minutes for me.Nice and strong too.

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

Cabaiguan Petites. Yummy stuff.

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

Last night while grilling, I had an Avo XO Notturno. Nice smoke, took me ~ 40 minutes to smoke. Considering it was nice outside for mid-January (upper 30's), thought I'd take advantage of the situation. Lots of good recommendations in here. Have a list to make and some stogies to buy it looks like!

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

The Goviado's (also from Guillen Cigars) are also very good!

The illusione MK is also a nice short smoke.

My favorite NC petite corona right now is the Padron Principe Maduro.

All of these are around 30 minute smokes (more than the 20 minutes you were looking for, but well worth the extra time!)

Re: Good Quality Quick Smoke
 

For me these are the best short smokes, DPG blue Demitase, Illusione 68, and Cabaiguan Petites!!
