Ry27 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 The Bolivar Coronas Junior is indeed a flavor bomb, as is RASCC. This posts reminds me how many great options there are. Ive never had the RYJ Petit Royal, have heard mixed reviews but eager to try it. Would love to try the Media Siglo, but the price is awful, would rather buy the CORO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stick that’s somewhat boring, no matter the size (like the D4 from last night or the monte 2 last week) I’ll tear through in 30 mins. I find I’ll pull and pull in hopes of getting to a transition. A Boli Corona Junior at its peak is such a bold, flavorful cigar, I slowly enjoy every draw. As a result, that tiny stick can last 50 mins to an hour. Exactly this. The better the smoke the easier it is to savor and slow down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillys Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 HUHC Partagas Short RASCC El Principe In that order from the boxes I have. I suspect that from a larger sample size, the order could be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Puffer Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I don’t always smoke short cigars, but when I do I smoke HUHCs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 From when the HUHC came out I found them consistently very good but in the last year from multiple boxes and tins I’ve found them much less consistent and sometimes downright bad. Preferring the Monty Media Corona for that size lately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to try the RyJ PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been impressed with BCJ consistency over the last 5 years at all. And I'm someone who thinks when at its best, BCJ is the best Bolivar and the best Minutos format cigar. On 7/12/2019 at 9:14 PM, Deeg said: A serious question - has anyone ever gotten a bad box of Principe? Seems like arguably one of the most consistent sticks out there. Not really. I've had a few boxes that were just a bit off, and some boxes with one or two weirdly unsmokeable sticks like fireproof roof shingles were used as binders. Also, I do get the occasional box with very tight draws for 15+ sticks, but the Perfecdraw takes care of that issue. And I've smoked through probably 40 boxes since 99. 21 hours ago, CaptainQuintero said: There aren't really any bad small cigars coming out of Cuba... No, there aren't. I have no hesitation in saying Cuba makes the best small format cigars in the world. NCs are not even close. People might argue about other models but what Cuba does with their small offerings and has done for many decades is truly remarkable. There's no bad choice, however I'd have to say I think BCJ is the weakest of the bunch just due to consistency and likelihood of getting a great example. But I can't think of any other I'd avoid. I can smoke all the Minutos interchangeably, the RyJ PR and HUHC are always excellent, all the Perlas are excellent, De Depute is great. Reyes is great. My least favorite when "on" is probably the Shorts only because of personal preference. I find it a little too smooth and rounded for what I'm looking for in a smaller format which for me is lots of flavor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure i agree with the 'well over an hour part', but point taken. Either way, I'd rather spend an extra 10min with these than any of the others listed above. Guess I'm not really a shorty fan.

It deserves a larger format. It's an excellent example of the marca's classic DNA. I really am not a fan of the half corona vitolas. I wish they'd extrapolate it into the Ex 3. It would compete very well with the other Corona Gordas and I'd actually buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, if you're smoking a MdO4 or PLMC faster than an hour, you're smoking it too fast. I'm not one to dictate smoking practices to others and I always say to each his own, but both of those cigars (and any sub-38 RG cigar) are easily overheated with rapid smoking. You might find more to the flavors if smoked slower. I would say just my opinion, but I know many others share this approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just jivin' about you stating they were 'well over an hour' smokes. All good, to each his own. BTW, you still reppin' an NSX? I came close to owning one several times in my life. Gorgeous cars.
