ptrthgr8 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Hi, folks. I smoked two H. Upmann Coronas Majors this weekend. Ordinarily I'm not a big fan of small cigars, but this Upmann was just right with my morning coffee on Saturday. I smoked the second one during my Sunday morning coffee. I've decided I like these particular Upmanns, but being newer to CCs in general and not being familiar with the smaller smokes in particular, I'm not sure how the Upmann Coronas Major compares to other similarly sized cigars. I'd prefer to go no less than 42/43 ring... but what might be some suggestions for other smaller cigars that make good morning coffee smokes? Thanks in advance! ~ Greg ~
Montaigut Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Partegas Shorts! The perfect companion to any coffee.
brazoseagle Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 My favorite all time cigars to smoke with a morning coffee are: Monte 5 Partagas Short Trinidad Reyes Siglo 1 Boli PC
chrismfontanot Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I'll throw another vote for the Party Short and Trini Reyes. Feel like they were made to have with morning coffee
riazp Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 SCDLH El Principes or PLPC for me for morning smokes. Party shorts/Trini Reyes are great with coffee but for me its more of an after dinner quick smoke with my after dinner coffee/espresso

CaptainQuintero Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Top Little smokes for with coffee for me are Party shorts, cohiba secretos and quintero panetelas You need that bit of bite and sweet wood to combine with the coffee
LLC Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 For a morning coffee I'd go with the Party Short, Trini Reyes or Cohiba Siglo I
MoneyPit Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 My Saturday morning cigar has been Dip 4's as of late. I'm disappointed that they are discontinued but they are currently smoking great. I figure I might as well enjoy what's left of them while they're in season.
Strada Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Trini Reyes and PLPC are quite nice! If you have a bit more time, ERDM Choix supreme is a good pick also!
riazp Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 ERDM Choix Supreme is a fantastic lazy sunday morning smoke thats for sure.
ptrthgr8 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 Looks like the Partagas Shorts beat out everyone else. I'll take a look at those for sure, though I wasn't hugely impressed with the Partagas Mille Fleurs I smoked Friday evening. How do the Shorts compare to the Milles? I'll also take a look at the Bolivar PCs and the PLPCs since both are in that 42/43 x 5" size that I think it perfect for coffee. I've always liked the Bolivar RCs and the BFs are starting to grown on me more. I've never had a Cuban Por Larranaga, but would like to try them. I've heard nothing but good things about the ERDM Choix Supreme, so I'll check those out, too. Bigger than what I was looking at... but I do like keeping my options open. Thanks again, folks! ~ Greg ~
riazp Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 you cant compare a short to a mille fleurs...mille fleurs are Cheap and cheerfulls with short filler. Shorts are all long filler. they are 100 times better than a MF.
aavkk Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 when they are on nothing can come close to the Siglo I, the problem is they are hit and miss. Others I would recommend in order of preference would be Reyes, RASCC and shorts. On the cheaper end a PL Panatella is hard to beat for the money.
Dbone Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 As has been already mentioned, PLPC is my choice... without even thinking about it.... if I had to pick one. It's a warm and smooth smoke, with good amounts of sweet honey, buttermilk, and with some good age on it... caramel. Nice long finish that'll tide you over till lunch time
partifan Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 SLR Regios are great with the morning coffee. HdM Epicure 1s also work.
Bolismoker Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I have always prefered these with a morning coffee: 1. ERDM CS 2. HdM Epi #1 3. ERDM Demi Tasi 4. Siglo 1 5. Siglo VI 6. Pary Short
toasterhead Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 SCDLH El Principes or PLPC for me for morning smokes. Party shorts/Trini Reyes are great with coffee but for me its more of an after dinner quick smoke with my after dinner coffee/espresso El Principe EMA Nov 07 smoking like a dream now. Mocha milkshake with French press anything. Dave
