Partagas - smaller vitolas

[HabanosNJGuy]

Over the past few weeks I've had a few different Partagas in smaller vitolas.  They've all been singles purchased from two different vendors.  I'm looking to purchase a box.  Here are my rankings of the four that I tried:

1. Super Partagas  

2. Shorts

3. Aristocrats

4. Mille Fleurs

I'm looking for opinions/recommendations.  If you had to buy a box of these four, which would you pick?

[HarveyBoulevard]

Shorts all day.

[JohnS]

If it's one box, then Shorts. 

[kuma]

sh0rts, only because I have never bought or even smoked the the others.

Vendor; Rob = FOH if you buy.  Thier must be  reason the other smokes excluding the "shorts"

never see the "light of day" on 24:24 that should be a clue!

[Optic101]

Another vote for Shorts

[OB1]

Of those, I've only have the shorts and love them

I think that pic kinda ends any speculation as to what you prefer of the four...

Just beautiful!

Shorts, fresh or aged, morning, noon or night. 

[losttrailer]

from recent smoking experiences, either

2. Shorts . . . or

5. Petit Coronas Especiales

I just love the "I haven't smoked them but I'll give an opinion anyway, 'cause I'm such a brillant person" answers…

One day someone will answer: “Punch DC all the way, because I don't know what a Partagas is and I smoke only big cigars”…

IMO the best one is the Short, because it's the only one that shows that typical Partagas sweetness… But I find difficult to answer without taking account of the price factor: last time I purchased a box of Aristocrats, the price was just above half the price of a box of Shorts…

[encephalization]

Another voice in the choir; Shorts. If I have to smoke a CC fresh, the Shorts are up among the ones I'd reach for first. Ages great too, even just with a couple of years. That strong yet balanced pepper, paired with classic Partagas flavors. Not much room for change but who wants change when what you have is so delicious?

I do like the Aristocrats too, that would be my second choice.

 

[anacostiakat]

True.  I have smoked all on the list.  The Shorts are the top of that list and if it is only one box then that is your ticket.

I will add that I do also like the Mille Fleurs and Super Partagas.  They are a little larger length and come at a good ROI.

shorts

PC Esp

Mille fleur

 

amazing concurrence among answers.............

[BuzzArd]

I've had the Shorts and the mille fleurs and liked them both.  Wouldn't hesitate to buy either again. 

[BrightonCorgi]

Culebras should be considered a short smoke.  Probably weights less than a Short.  Short is brilliant smoke and a 50 cab doesn't take up much room.

I'm a relativist. A dog is big when compared to a mouse, but a dog is small compared to an elephant.

If I think small Partagas, my mind goes to Shorts - obviously - and a Chicos. Maybe, a Habaneros.

I log Aristocrats and Super Partagas as medium.

Verbally flog me if you must.

Survey says "shorts" by a mile and that seems on the mark. Maybe 1% think members should try the

other Part.'s mentioned but why waste the money.  There must be a reason we never see them on 24:24.

I'm sure if the other Part.'s made the grade Rob would put them up for sale but they must be at the tier 2 level

not worth the trouble.......

 

 

[HabanosNJGuy]

Thanks for clearing this up.  I'll be looking for Shorts on 24:24...

Sorry but you don't know what you're talking about. Please explain us why the Mille Fleur, the Corona Senior, Corona Junior, Super Partagas, are big sellers in Europe, can be found everywhere?

In France the price of the Short is €6.50, while a Super Partagas which is 30mm longer can be had for €4.30. That's a big difference for “certain" people… The people who don't "collect", don't "invest", but smoke several habanos a day for years…

You speak as if the 24:24 was the reflection of the world market of habanos, because it's the only one you're confronted with…

Try to broaden your horizon.

[ErikB]

Also , try the Petit Coronas Especiales

I've had the Super Partagas, the Party Short and the Mille Fleur.

I like the Super Partagas best as it is super reliable across the 10 or so I have had to date.  The Short has been much more variable.  Higher highs but lower lows than the Super Partagas.

 

[RijkdeGooier]

As a regular smoker of all of the above, I must agree with Frank.

If money is no object - go with the Shorts as they are generally more consistent.

If money is a factor then - Cor esp if you like some oomph, Mille Fleur is you like more medium. Habaneros are quite strong too, but a bit smaller than Cor Esp.
