Minutos, Perlas and Reyes small smokes

[jwr0201]

I plan to become more familiar with these sizes. Currently am looking for recommendations from brothers with more experience here...

List your preferred small/ short marcas.

Some that come to mind are RG Perlas, Party Shorts, Trini Reyes.

[RijkdeGooier]

Monte 5

P Short

RASCC

Are usually good

[JohnS]

San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe

Partagas Shorts

Montecristo No.5

Trinidad Reyes

These are the ones I've gone to recently, specifically the El Principes. (The Trinidad Reyes are the next marca I want to sample at the moment)

However, you can't go wrong trying a Cohiba Siglo I or Ramon Allones Small Club Corona either. It all depends on your (taste/flavour) preference.

No ones mentioned the Bolivar Corona Junior yet which is a fantastic TPC

Thoughts on RG Perlas?

Thoughts on RG Perlas?

Marzipan onna stick when they're on. Can have a touch of mongrel though.

[greyhulk]

Have you tried the Vegueros Mananitas

[NSXCIGAR]

I can't really think of a lousy Minuto or Perla. As a vitola they seem to be one of the most reliable. Can't go wrong with any of them. If anything I don't like them because they're too darn short, especially the Monte 5. I wish every Monte 5 was at least a Monte 4 when I get to the end!

I am partial to the BCJ, El Principe and RASCC, however.

Trini Reyes are a personal favorite, offering some of the best flavors to be found in any cigar anywhere! Not even comparable to the others listed. Still, I simply love RG PC, but think the Perlas are rather meh.

[earthson]

Still, you're going to have to try most (if not all) of these in this size range. You'll never know what you're missing! That would be a shame, especially when considering how good the Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas are. If price/value is lesss of a concern, the smaller Cohiba are a nice change of pace, as well.

Had my first RG Perlas a couple of weeks ago.  Kept on thinking I was tasting suger dried orange peel used in cooking.  I was wrong.  It was marzipan.  I was surprised as heck to get that taste.  Not sure if I like it.

The San Cristóbal El principe is a good smoke, which might leave me with the option of lighting another up, or sometimes that's all I want. It has a molasses type flavor and a darker burn for me.

The Trinidad Reyes on the other hand feels more refined and always leaves me wanting to light another up, I have a box of Coloniales that I have yet to try... hoping that it won't leave me hanging.

My go-to morning coffee smoke. Tasty from start to finish, and marzipan goes really well with strong white unsweetened coffee

Monte 5 and RG Perlas all day long. Well, for a short section of the day at least. Both are excellent IMHO and are regular smokes. Party Shorts are rather good too. I rattled through a box (16) of the Vegueros Manianitas last year and was quite impressed - pleasant, mild flavours and I liked the petit belicoso shape.

I second the RG Perlas - just a beautiful cigar

[ErikB]

RG Perlas
Bolivar Coronas Junior
Had a JLP Petit Cazadores once that was utterly brilliant

Received a box of RG perlas for Christmas! 

OMS SEP 15 

two PMS JUL 15 from a previous box for comparison 

[FreedomMN]

For me would be

trinidad reyes

siglo 1 

monte 5 after a meal 

[Ethernut]

Love the format / vitola!

[cfc1016]

BCJ are great ROTT, especially the tightly rolled ones; trini reyes are great when they’re on - like a salted german pretzel; rg perlas are awesome when they’ve had *plenty* of time to rest. 

[Ender1553]

I have to echo the Monte #5s... not my usual, but ordered a box on a lark and it blew me away. Wish ordered 4. Great with a cup of coffee/espresso

Smoking a Trinidad Reyes right now that I bought to smoke on vacation but never got to it. Delicious cigar that started off sweet (graham cracker) and is finishing woody with a touch of citrus zest.   

[Canoli]

Interesting in the Monte 5s might need to grab a box to try. I am a fan of Monte medio corona. It’s a fantastic quickie. Worth the price.
