TheDistrictJP Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Greetings - looking into many of the C&C offerings reveals that they are of the short filler variety. My noob questions are 'what is short filler' and how is it selected for these C&C's? Are they left overs at the end of the day of rolling long filler habanos, or just 'short' for some reason? What different characteristics do they bring to the habanos? Some of these short filler cigars just seem like no brainers when looking at price only, but I seem to always find out that you get what you pay for. in the long run. cheers! jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Short fillers are typically made with the left over trimmings of long filler production, along with other chopped tobacco. The general consensus seems to be that they tend to burn a bit faster than long filler, and as such can also burn a bit hotter. I haven't smoked any SFs in some time.....

DWC Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Along the same lines of the OP, I hope, Quintero doesn't make any long filler cigars any more. Where (which marca) do they get the short filler from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDistrictJP Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I like the PLPC, I think mine are getting better with age along the way, but the profile isn't one I'd like to expand on, especially a 38 RG stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLPC's are long fillers Panetelas are short fillers only as Montecarlos are also long The exact info is: Pre-circa 2002 PL Panetela - short filler & machine-made PL Montecarlo - short filler & machine-made PL PC - long filler & handmade Post-circa 2002 PL Panetela - short filler & handmade PL Montecarlo - long filler & handmade PL PC - long filler & handmade thanks to Trevor2118 from another thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthson Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Whatever happened to medium filler? Or extra-long filler??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppsea Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 There are some great short filler cigars out there; I just always find myself leaning towards long filler cigars when makingl an order and subsequently never have any short fillers in the humidor. I wouldn't be put off by a cigar being short filler if you like the look of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcjs0101 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think the Quintero Brevas are quite value for money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LegLance Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I love my Jose Piedras and don't really care how long the filler is because they can't be beat at the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
