Best 30 min smoke

[44stampede]

Been noticing that most of my recent purchases are 1-1.5 hour smokes and need to have some quicker ones on the ready.

suggestions?? I think you can still list cubans on here but not where to get them so if that is possible please include them.

[dwoodward]

I like any Petite Corona... most good brands have petite corona sizes on some of their sticks. Some of my favorites are the Cohiba Black, CAO MX2, and CAO LX2... These should take you around 45 minutes, maybe shorter.

To clarify for newer members what our "veterans" know, yes. Perfectly acceptable.

Any of the Cuban perlas or minutos fit the bill.
Partagas Shorts
San Cristobal El Principes
Bolivar Corona Juniors
Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas
Cohiba Siglo I

[BHalbrooks]

I love these JR (http://www.jrcigars.com/jr/index.cfm/hurl/evt=itemDetail/itemcode=JRHM2/JR-CUBAN-ALTERNATIVES-HOYO-EPICURE-2.html)

[MurphysLaw]

Grab a pack of J.Fuego Origen Originals great little smokes, and cheap enough that you won't feel bad pitching it if you run out of time.

You can smoke that in 30 minutes? lol

I think you're doing it wrong. :r

[BHalbrooks]

Hm, maybe I lost track of time. I have some in the Humidor, but I haven't smoked one for a while. I'll light it up tomorrow and I'll get back to you hahaha

[Reaver2145]

For cubans

Por Larranaga petite corona
Partagas short
H.Upmann coronas minor
Ramon allones short club corona
Bolivar petite corona
H.Upmann half corona if you want a short harsh revolting wake up call.
RyJ cazadores (i think) along with the cedros de luxe No3

For NCs honestly i find the oliva and AF "don carlos" to do good cigars from what ive tried cant remember there names though.

[JenksAnejo]

AF Short Story!

[44stampede]

Opinions vary, I think these are wonderful little smokes, only wish they were larger.

[gbum]

not exact 30 minutes.. but i did smoke these around 45 minutes... me smoke slow..

oliva g special g
partagas short
partagas super partagas
punch coronation

[Reaver2145]

Indeed they do but your wrong :D

There is no upmann soul in those dog rockets and for the same price i could get a coronas major which is vastly superior.

Thanks for the link :tu I may get some of these.

I also like the

Party short and the short story's and the DPG Firecracker as short smokes.

[Blak Smyth]

Ramone Allones Small Club Corona.
It has been listed a couple times, it is one of my top choices!

I ordered some DPG Blues that were extremley small, very tasty but pricey for such small cigars.

El Creditos are cheap little spice bombs!

[maninblack]

Tat M80. Try it in the morning right after you wake up.:D

[Blak Smyth]

Oh I almost forgot the DPG Firecrackers, wonderfull little smokes!

AF Short Story!

+1

Good smoke all the way through!!!

D

[Hippi3Slay3r]

+1 for the party Shorts.
And ill add Por Larranaga Panetela's to the list

[Blak Smyth]

AF Short Story!

AF WOAM is wonderful as well!

Dog rockets? Wow.

Like it or not thats totally your opinion, but go easy on the arrogance...especially when your input may be misinformed.

As for the question at hand, can't go wrong with:
Party Shorts
RASCC
PLPC
Boli PC
CAO MX2
CAO LX2

Haven't tried any of the Cohiba (NC) PC/minuto sizes, but have heard a lot of good things!

[neoflex]

Here's my list of short sticks(Dog Walkers) that I keep in rotation:

Tatuaje Petite Cazadore Reservas
Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu 5
Pepin Black Perlas

Good to know the Supreme Expert on Everything has joined the board, I know longer need to have an opinion, I can just follow you around to see what is good. ;) :lr

I will agree that these are not necessarily "Upmannesque" in flavor. But I like lots of Cuban cigars that aren't Upmann, so them not having the distinct Upmann profile isn't a factor in my liking or not liking them. I have probably smoked 5 or 6 in the last couple months, not a "harsh" one in the bunch.

[Subvet642]

As for NCs, I like El Triunfador #5, it's a PC, too.

[ApexAZ]

Love WOAM. Usually lasts me 45 minutes though.

[icehog3]

Realized I never posted mine...not sure I could (or want to) finish one right at 30 minutes, but for my money it's the RASCC.

[Islayphile]

When I only have half an hour or so I like to fire up an LFD Digger maduro























that way I have an excuse to extend the smoking session by another 1 1/2 hrs.

I have almost a whole box of LFD A's. Sparking one of them is like getting married to it. I'm pretty sure it takes a week or so to finish one. :D

Everyone has added some great smokes.
I'll add...
Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote
Padron 1926 #35 maduros (or nats are good, too.)

[FNA]

Holt's is currently featuring what they calll the Pepin Garcia Short Stack sampler including petite coronas in the 4.5 x 40 range in La Aroma Edicion Especial, Tatuaje Havana VI, Cabaiguan and a house brand, Old Henry.

Here's one no one wants to hear but I am currently very much enjoying the Escudo Cubano 20 Minuto maduro perfecto (4 x 50). A buck and a half each in the bundle, readily available from Thompson Cigar Company. IMO, a terrific quick smoke.

[BlindedByScience]

Its a joke people christ i know im a arrogant SOB but really i thought the smily would clear that up.

Either way IMO you got extremely lucky in my books or im just plane unlucky cos the ones i had where getting placed with guantanimos and trinnie short robustos expensive for what they are and overall not worth it ever the major or anything els.

Just lucky i know a midget that smokes to give them too.

I know its been said but the DPG Firecrackers and AF Short Story are both excellent short smokes.

:tu Two of my favorite smaller NCs, along with the old school La Vieja Habana Silencios.

[Reaver2145]

I completely forgot about it till i checked a humi but La Aroma De Cuba New Blend Rothschild.

While not exactly a 30 mins smoke more like 45ish but its a damn good (quickish) smoke none the less.

[billyrayvalentin]

Villiger Export Maduro

Not the best, but those little machine made Villiger Export Maduros are pretty good especially for the price. Plus they're dry cured so you can stash them anywhere for whenever an unexpected smoking opportunity arises.

[Doctorossi]

Good to know the Supreme Expert on Everything has joined the board, I know longer need to have an opinion

About time someone got through to you, Tom. :r

[Doctorossi]

None of the reviews I've read have been kind, but has anyone around here tried the RyJ Julietas yet?

They're not too bad for a mild smoke

Really? Or are you just being funny?
Reason I ask is because I tried all the La Vieja Habanas and "The Early Years" and they were some of the most gawdawful things I've ever smoked.
Especially the La Vieja Naturals. Man, were they horrible.
They were super cheap, borderline free on cbid, that's why I got them all. Even the maduro couldn't redeem the batch. :pu

[maninblack]

I agree with you Scott. DE really failed IMO with the La Vieja's line. But that's just my two cents.

[icehog3]

No, truly. They changed the blend a few years ago, and those are nothing like the originals, Scott. But back in 2004-2005, I went through several boxes of 40, and they were awesome. If they hadn't changed the blend, regardless of smoking mostly CCs now, I would still be smoking them.

Like Tom, I was a huge fan of the Silencios. You will not find a better example of "they sure don't make 'em like they used to"

You know I'd love to. I remember how much we enjoyed those. I wish I could buy more.

[shilala]

That makes a lot more sense. The ones I got were '07-'08.
A visiting buddy of mine loved the nats, so I sent him home with all the nats and corojos. He didn't dig the maduros.
I was baffled that he liked them, but he wasn't a cigar smoker. He sure enjoyed them, though. :)

YEP!! They come in a little soft pack like backwoods. Hella good. Too bad NO ONE around me carries them anymore.

[ucla695]

For short smokes, I'm a fan of the RASCC, Trini Reyes and Party Shorts. :tu

[oldforge]

Mentioned once, but my current fav is the Cabaiguan petite.

The CAO La Traviata petites are worth a try.

For something with more power 601 Red Guapitos, CAO MX2 and LX2.

[ZachF88]

Padron 1926 No. 35..... It was named the 35 because the Padrons smoked it in 35 mins!

[OLS]

The best is likely the one that lasts 30 minutes. Find that cigar and you have that one solved.

FOR ME...it's the Bolivar Coronas Junior.

Not when you are NEW it doesn't....always. Most people see a new person and watch their behavior for
a few months, I know I do. You might be under the threshold for newbie humor....smilie :)

Might have been someone that had a negative reaction to your star wars thread.
This might have just added to it.

Are you suggesting there is ANOTHER star wars thread? :D

Just to add insult to nerd injury i better go and find some proof that Darth Vader would be better in my little pony.

ps now i remember so im not threadjacking cuaba divinos and the next size up who's name i forget are good if you dont get a plugged one.

And the ashton VSG enhantment is good too.

I really enjoyed them ROTT but have had some sitting for 7 or 8 months now and was very suprised how much better they have become. Very creamy.

[proguy747]

Robusto and finish it in the truck on the way.

When I smoked cigarettes, sometimes I'd smoke a Djarum clove. I would never want that flavor in a cigar, though.

I like the Nestor Coffee Break Oscuro as well for a little smoke.

[dave]

Maybe I missed it, but I'm surprised I didn't see any mention of J. Fuego's 'original' size cigars. They're all good, but I put them in this order:

Origin
Gran Reserva Corojo #1
Sangre de Toro
