Need a 30 minute cigar

[chaase321]

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!

[maninblack]

Tat Verocu's are great small smokes.

[bobarian]

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

Arturo Fuente Short Story & Tampa Sweetheart #500 Maduro

[chaase321]

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

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

[NCRadioMan]

CAO Criollo Pampa

[Remo]

DPG Firecracker :tu

[shilala]

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

Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote

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

About an hour 10min. for me.

[Lonely Raven]

NUB Habano really surprised me for a small stick.

[ArgusP2]

I like the CAO La Traviata Ninfas.

[MurphysLaw]

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

[Drez]

DPG Firecracker :tu

:tpd:

[RevSmoke]

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.

Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote

J. Fuego Origen Original

I second these. Was going to suggest these.

[chaase321]

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!

[DaBear]

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.

I did mention these.

[billybarue]

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.

[CigarNut]

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

[DaBear]

I did mention these.

Oops, sorry, mind fart while reading.

[chaase321]

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!

[Subvet642]

El Triunfador #5 are fantastic quick smokes.

[Blak Smyth]

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!!!

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

[BC-Axeman]

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.

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

[w squared]

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

[Zanaspus]

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

[Dave128]

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

[yourchoice]

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.

[BnBTobacco]

RP Junior Sungrown

[dave]

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

[Chemyst]

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

Chemyst :cool2:

[Mirrorlure7m]

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

[CoreyD]

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

[boxmonkey]

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.

[dwoodward]

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.

[Chemyst]

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.

Done this with Padron Panatelas.. :tu

[Homebrewer]

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.

This may be a pretty good option too! thanks

[area51]

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

[jpfont]

Illusione Rothchildes are fantastic short smokes that meet your criteria.

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

[RobR1205]

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.

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

He could have smoked a 1,314,000 minute cigar by now.
