Good Short Cigars?

colinb913 · 06-25-2010, 09:17 AM

What do you guys smoke for short 20-30 minute smokes? I havent had time for a full cigar lately, so I figure its time to try the petite sizes.

Ya know, I've been smoking the Limited Reserve Siglo I NCs lately and I like 'em. They're only 4 1/2" X 44rg; a nice quick smoke.

I usually go to my La Riqueza Cabinet Petit Robustos for a quicker smoke. If I'm really taking my time, I can get about 40 minutes out of one, but I'm usually done within 30 minutes or so.

Another quicky I like is the Punch Rare Corojo. They have one that's about 4.5" or so...pretty good smoke.

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story - a mild to medium bodied, small perfecto with a Cameroon wrapper. I love 'em

What could be so pressing in a 17yr old's life, that he only has 20-30 minutes for a smoke?

Love the Short Story.

Other small NC's I enjoy are the AF Don Carlos #4 and Oliva Special G, both Nat and Maddie.

Oooh...Special G...totally forgot about that.

Some of the brown band Tats are good quick smokes too...petits, noellas...stuff like that.

I picked up a box of Perdomo Habano petite corona's because they were on sale and I've been pleasantly surprised with them.
Camacho Machito's are a shorter smoke and taste pretty close to the full sized corojo big brother.

Wow, this list could get long:

NCs
Petite Tatuajes
Petite Cabaiguan
La Riqueza No. 5
El Triunfador No. 5
J. Fuego Delirium Minuto
Illusione 68
Illusione Epernay Le Petit
Oliva Serie G Special G
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 PC
Fuente Hemingway Short Story
Padron Delicias Maduro

CCs
Ramon Allones Small Club Corona
Partagas Short
Partagas Mille Fleurs
Monte #4
San Cristobal El Principe
Bolivar PC
Cohiba Siglo I
Fonseca Delicias

That's all I can think of right now...

Many of these are more like 30-45min but they're all short cigars.

Great list!! I was struggling to find something less than 30 minutes as well. I figure if I have to rush a cigar that much, I'm better off putting it back and smoke it another time I can truly enjoy it.

Try some Famous Maduritos...Powerful little smoke.

It's true, most of those I would have to rush or put out a little early to make it under the 30 minute mark...

The only things I can think of that would definitely be under the 30min mark would be Cigarillos. Something like Partagas Chicos or Cohiba Minis. The only problem with those are that all they seem to do is make me crave one of their bigger cousins.

Very true...and I just can't hold a cigarillo and feel I can keep my Man Card while doing so.
