Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Alright everyone, I'm looking for opinions. I am going to give you some details on what I am looking for, and hopefully you all can help me find what I am looking for.

I need something that is going to last me about 30 minutes; I want to be able to smoke at work during my lunch breaks, but I don't want to waste a good cigar by not having enough time.

Ring gauge and length does not matter to me. Wrapper does not either (I like maduros but I have also really enjoyed cameroons too). Also spicy and sweet both work for me, and I think would work for a lunchtime snack.

I would like it to be medium (not mild, and no so full that I have too much of a nic buzz to head back to work).

Price really doesn't matter too much because I will look until I find it on sale.

I'm really trying to find a good everyday short smoke, so there you have it gents...fire away (please)! Thanks!

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Tat Verocu's are great small smokes.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I would check your local shop for some tinned smokes like AVO Puritos or Arturo Fuente Cubanitos. :2

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Arturo Fuente Short Story & Tampa Sweetheart #500 Maduro

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Mac, I have some short story's on the way...are they really only 30 min smokes though?

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

For me they are. :D I bet JohnnyKay5 would say these are a 15 minute stick. :r :r

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

CAO Criollo Pampa

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

DPG Firecracker :tu

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote or Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Pamplona.
CI says the Extra Fuerte is all strong and ass-kickish. It's hype. Both are very mild on the nicotine and big on flavor. Excellent inexpensive cigars, perfect for your lunch break. :tu

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Almost forgot about this one...GREAT STICK!! :tu :tu

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

About an hour 10min. for me.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

NUB Habano really surprised me for a small stick.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I like the CAO La Traviata Ninfas.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

J. Fuego Origen Original - great inexpensive short smoke, they come in a paper wrapped 5 pack

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

:tpd:

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Cabaiguan Petites, Tatuaje Petites & Tatuaje Petite Reservas, Tatuaje Verocu #5, AVO Domaine Puritos, J.Fuego Delirium Minutos, Padron Corticos, Rocky Patel Sun Grown Juniors, CAO LX2 Bam.

Just a few that I have had and enjoyed.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I second these. Was going to suggest these.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Thanks everyone...I'll do my research tomorrow during my "lunch break" and see which ones will fit me, then head out for some samples. They look like great sticks though!

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

No love for the Padron Maduro Corticos? I used those all the time for tailgating last year to keep me from blowing so much on more expensive cigars and to keep me from crushing a good cigar in the pocket.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I did mention these.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Oliva Series G Special G. Probably more than thirty minutes, but not as spendy as the AF SS so you might not mind as much.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Padron 1964 Anniversary Principe. It's a great smoke!

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Oops, sorry, mind fart while reading.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Thanks everyone! I think I am going to try and find the Padron, DPG, CAO LX2, and Olivia's for now and just get 5'ers or tins so I can try them out.

Much appreciated everyone!

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

El Triunfador #5 are fantastic quick smokes.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I was in search of the same thing and these are the best I found:


#1: Don Pepin Blue Demitase (petite corona) (4.5" x 32)

#2: Arturo Fuente Exquisitos Maduro (4.6" x 30)

I love both of these and they last almost exactly 30 minutes!!!

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Thanks man. The Exquisitos must be good...they are out of stock at CI :sh

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I have a different strategy from the "small stick, smoke fast" one.
I get out a cheap stick that I like a lot and don't worry if I don't finish it.
Two examples would be Famous Nic 3000 and Arganese Chairman maduro.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Dang those Famous ones are pretty cheap. Thanks for the heads up...and good idea

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Fuente Short Story - or if that's too long given your "puffing frequency", Fuente Exquisitos - they come in both Natural and Maduro.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Cuchillos Cubanos by Illusione. Unlike most, I'm really not a fan of their big sticks, but these little things really do it for me. :2

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

This is a great idea. Been looking for the same thing.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Famous (Cigarmonster) has RP Junior Connecticuts offered in their mashup today. Never had one...but they are the right size. THought I'd pass it along if interested.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

RP Junior Sungrown

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Second these from earlier recommendations:
Fuego Originals - Origens or Gran Reserva Corojos
Tat Ver 5

Add two others:

Partagas Black Prontos
5V A Anomaly (PC)

And, don't overlook the fact that there are at least 4 or 5 CC's in PC size that are fantastic for around 4 to 6 bucks

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Just about any corona or petite corona should
be within your time limit.

Chemyst :cool2:

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Padron 1926 #35 .. Named #35 because it should take you 35 minutes to smoke.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

You can pick up the avo petites for 50 for 110 and the LFD daquirie for $25-$35 for a box of 20 or 24 or 25

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

time is hard to gauge for me. I've been able to smoke a nub in under forty five mins and the same type of nub in well over an hour and a half.

for a small stick JRcigars.com has ther JR ultimate habinito maduro that isn't bad and it's cheap, 24 for 40 bucks. it lasted me about 15-20 mins just taking my time on it.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I mostly smoke short smokes now a days. Lately the best for me have been any of the Petite Corona's made by CAO. I have been enjoying the LX2, Brazilia, MX2 and Italias. As you can tell, I prefer maduro... lol These are all 4"x38 ring.

Also the Cohiba Black Pequenos are pretty solid as well. They are 4.1"x36 but I find they smoke a little shorter, perhaps less compacted.

Either way you should be good tho, 30-40 minutes max on one of these, unless you nub all of your cigars.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Another thing you could do is cut a lancero
in half. Then you could smoke just about any blend,
and only buy 1/2 of the cigars.

Chemyst :cool2:

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Done this.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Done this with Padron Panatelas.. :tu

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I used to smoke those RP juniors and they were pretty good. I could get them on special for $29. Those days are long gone.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

This may be a pretty good option too! thanks

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

I was gonna say check for tins or go with a short story.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Illusione Rothchildes are fantastic short smokes that meet your criteria.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

If he doesn't have this figured out since the last post 2.25 years ago, probably a lost cause....;)

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Cabaiguan Petites and Tatuaje Petit Tatuajes are small, demitasse sized sticks that I've loved. You can find both on the devil site for around $15-17 for a fiver. For the size, I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were.

Zino by Davidoff also has a cigar this size for quite cheap on the devil site as well, but I'd put that in the mild range.

Re: Need a 30 minute cigar
 

Whoops...didn't realize how old this was!
