HoyoFan Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 On the weekends I take the dog out for a long walk but it's not long enough to burn a robusto or corona. So I've been thinking about getting some half coronas or thereabouts. So let's hear it. What's everyone's favorite small, quick smoke?
Cigarsandmalts Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 RASCC, with party shorts being a close 2nd. 3
Easttide Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 RASCC or BCJ. My 50 cab PSP box of RAE JUN 15 Shorts is my first experience with them and doing nothing for me yet. Box is still fairly ammoina heavy barnyard though. I have a box of 13 Habaneros that are fantastic.
Habana Mike Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 For true short smokes I've been a fan of ERDM Demi Tasse and Monte Joyitas for some time as they're about the only quality poquitos still around.... 2
NSXCIGAR Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 "Small" cigar: Partagas Chicos Minuto/Perla: El Principe/Monte 5 In betweener: PL Panetelas, RG Panetelas 1
Cubatabaco Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Going to say HU Half Coronas. RASCC have been smoking well too. Maybe with a RG Perla thrown in the mix too.Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
Ethernut Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 +1 to @NSXCIGAR love the Perlas vitola and Panetela -
anjimj Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 ERDM Demi tasse, HUHC or monte media corona. Love all 3 for summer and winter smokes.
MahDooRow Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 4 hours ago, planetary said: I've been enjoying Partagas Shorts lately. +1 for Partagas Shorts. Bolivar Petit Coronas and Monte #4 are also in my regular rotation of small cigars.
Akela3rd Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Due to time factors and a short attention span smaller smokes are a big part of my regime. So... Monte 5 for choccy goodness - favourite and has been all year. BCJ for more substance when you want to know you've had a cigar, but haven't the time for a PC±Party Shorts for a more chilled out, creamy vibe. Or clip and relight. I've taken to carrying an empty tube with me so I can have a robusto in two halves on long work days. Or go for a longer walk. That's exercise that is and the dog'll appreciate it too! Everyone's a winner.
JohnS Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Like @planetary I tend to enjoy these too. I go through quite a few when they are on and I favour a variety. Like @NSXCIGAR San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe and Montecristo No.5's are amongst my favourites, together with Trinidad Reyes, (the aforementioned) Partagas Shorts. I don't mind any of these younger in age. I also love the Cohiba Siglo I, but prefer these with a minimum 3-5 years down. 1
gweilgi Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 RASCC and Partagas Shorts are obvious go-to cigars, but I am surprised no-one has mentioned the Por Larranaga PC so far. A most excellent smaller smoke, with oodles of caramel flavour...
Lewinsky Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 The RyJ Tres Petit Coronas and Partagas Serie du Connoisseur No.3 are my favourite shorter smokes....and sadly both discontinued! I do like Party Shorts, but they don't even come close to the SDC3 for me. My favourite current production shorter smokes are probably the Boli CJ and Trinidad Reyes - the Reyes are a bit hit and miss, but they're excellent when they're 'on'.
Fugu Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) BCJ, no question. At least the one I smoke most. Second place MdO4, but that is certainly not a "walking stick" and, while "small", takes much longer to smoke. And aged Reyes (full flavour in a short smoke). For an uncomplicated smoke under more "dynamic" conditions, the RyJ Tres PC and the ERDM Lunch Club have been very nice. Unfortunately a lot of those good bang-for-buck cigars in that range have been sacked.... Apart from that I' agree with NSX, adding to the RGPE, the RG Perla (hihgly recommended for a short smoke in walking the dog) 10 hours ago, NSXCIGAR said: "Small" cigar: Partagas Chicos Minuto/Perla: El Principe/Monte 5 In betweener: PL Panetelas, RG Panetelas Edit: Just notice, I seem to be very much in agreement with Monica (@Lewinsky), too. Haven't seen that before posting . And I agree mate, Reyes can be hit and miss, but I find that levels in on the hit-side when they are properly aged (5 years minimum for me) Edited July 23, 2016 by Fugu 2

I'd forgotten all about the ERDM Lunch Clubs - I've smoked a few in the past but ran out and haven't managed to find any since, but they were very tasty little smokes. Another great short smoke of yesteryear was the Bolivar Demi Tasse - they were really quite complex for such small sticks. Alas, I only ever got my hands on a fiver of them a couple of years ago and they're long gone now! 1
treberty Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 The last box of Quintero Panatelas I got was very enjoyable... Especially for the price. RG panatelas are also pleasant. I am also a big fan of RASCC or the Shorts: they always deliver, IMO.
zeedubbya Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 My 5 favorites are as follows, I usually just pick what I'm in mood for at the time. I would say here lately these small cigars have been very consistent. 1.)RASCC--love the stone fruit, peachiness 2.) Partagas Short--Spice Blast crackers 3.) San Cristobal El Príncipe--Sweet Molasses, Rich 4.) Bolivar Coronas Jr.--Solid strong toasted tobacco and bit of spice 5.) Montecristo 5--Nice Bitter Chocolate and Vanilla.

A couple of years ago a friend sent me 2 of the Hoyo de Monterey short robusto 3 packs. Loved em! Great 20 to 40 min smoke depending on how serious I was about getting done.
cigcars Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Por Larranaga PC Partagas Milles Fleurs *And I never thought I'd see the day when I recently smoked one NC on hand and truly spectacularly enjoyed the flavor: Don Diego Babies!
