Good small cigars

[billyrayvalentin]

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!

[doctorcue]

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

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

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

5 Vegas Shortys, these are tasty little buggers.

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.

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

[Hot Stuff x]

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.

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.

Petite Cabaiguan
Petite Tatuaje
Padron Corticos

That should about do it.

This is a great cigar.:ss

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

[kaisersozei]

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

[davearob]

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

[BryanB]

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.

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

[ucla695]

For sure! :tu

Chicos are also good for a really quick smoke.

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

Good to know. Thanks

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!

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

[mash]

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

Padron Londres or Punch London Club!!! Two of my favorites!!!

: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.
