The best small cigar coming out of Cuba now?

[Guest Robo]

In preparation for the upcoming long winter (and reduced smoking times) I am going to stock up on small format cigars. Any suggestions on which are the best small cigars coming out of Cuba right now? Specific vitola and brand do not matter, I'm interested in anything that's smoking well right now.

Thx!

Lots of guys swear by Party Shorts. I think they're OK. Nothing too exciting.

For me, the top short cigar is the Trini Reyes, but it is not the most economical. Try SCDLH El Principes. They're tasty sticks. RASCC also seem to be a good one. Though I haven't tried one myself.

Now on a related topic. My wife and I swung by the Home Depot. They had their sheds on sale and she asked me if I wanted one to be able to smoke this winter! I couldn't believe it.

young very young...upmann half coronas...hands down the best young cigar on the shelves in havana right now.

with a little age...'03 bolivar coronas juniors...the most complex cigar in the bolivar line right now...sublime balance between flavours and strength ...exotic spices and true representative of the 42ring bolivar legacy.

Monte 5s are the best small cigar for me right now. I have two boxes stored away for when time is short. Just exemplifies the prototypical Monte flavor.

Hello Fellow FOHers,

I have recently had a number of Juan Lopez Petit Coronas that were supurb from recent production.

Thank you,

Curtiss

...of course, the only problem with the RASCC is that you cannot find them!

Perhaps. I'm looking at a 7 * 7.5 and a 6 * 6. I'd need a space heater and a fan. It might be a bit tight. At least the bottles of Scotch will be nicely chilled.

Partagas Shorts

H.Upmaan Half Corona

Bolivar Corona Junior

San Cristobal de la Habanna El Principe

Cohiba Siglo I with some age are good but pricey

Trinidad Reyes are very tasty but they are a bit pricey as well

[PartagasIV]

I third the Half Coronas. Excellent.

I would have to say RASCC. Flavour is great, haven't noticed any bad burns and the draw has been perfect. My box from 2010 has been very consistent. One stick left in my desktop and if there's one cigar I would buy a couple of boxes of, it would be the RASCC.

My cab of party shorts, also from 2010, hasn't been very great. Too harsh. I smoked a lot of them when I first started this game so I haven't got many left, though. Will probably improve a lot in a year or two.

RASCC I love these if you can find them

Monte #5 are very nice also and availability is good

Trini Reyes are great & also the Cohiba Sig 1 but as was previously mention very pricey

[Bahnofstrasse]

30 minute smoke: Upmann Half Corona

45-60: ERDM PC, outstanding smoke that unfortunately is being discontinued

[Cohiba Stevie]

Rascc!

All the way. Becoming quite hard to find now.

[Lotusguy]

Adding one to the mix: ERDM Demi Tasse - fantastic smoke!

Otherwise, I really like RASCC and El Principe.

Hoyo PR, give it some love! Just oodles of cream and milk coffee, such a great blend!

Hell yeah. We even chatted about it tonight. She said go for it. 7.5 * 7 it is!

finally, another place to smoke besides my garage. LOL

[Scdalak]

recently got a cab 50 PL Petite Corona, very very tasty 30 - 40 Min smoke..

[pinotguy]

I'd submit the Rafael Gonzalez Perlas. Love the size and it's nice to see this marca get another regular production vitola.

Why don't you guys just smoke on the patio?

[nikesupremedunk]

Looks like I may have to try to find some RASCC.
