Good small cigars

billyrayvalentin · 02-24-2009, 02:34 PM

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!

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.

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

and YMMV.....

Ashton makes a good one, and it doesn't require humidification. They come in five packs. http://ashtoncigars.com/Ashton-Small-Cigars.jsp

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.
