Desperate Times Call For...

Idiotic measures..

In light of all the US tariff uncertainty we've got to make the best of what we got. So I set out to answer a question that literally nobody was asking.

Do four Cohiba Shorts equal a full-size vitola???  Nothing a bit of creativity and gar glue can't determine.

In terms of tobacco volume this Cigarts-and-crafts masterpiece is roughly equivalent to a Cohiba Piramides Extra!! Talk about value!

4 Cohiba shorts X 83mm X 26 ring = 8632 Tobacco volume units

1 Cohiba Piramides Extra X 16omm X 54 ring = 8640 Tobacco Volume Units

Math is math-ing and it should be a solid match!

Light and first draw are surprisingly decent although conforming one's lips to the quad-tubular arrangement makes getting a consistent draw a bit challenging.

By the halfway point she's starting to burn a little hot. The awkward draw notwithstanding, until this point it's a fairly okay smoke. Strangely, the burn is WILDLY uneven...

Into the 3/4 mark it's getting even hotter and the flavor is turning a bit acrid.  Maybe it's all the cigar glue?? How many brain cells is this costing me?  We press on.

Shortly after removing the custom band, I decide to give up on this abomination. I can state definitively that the Cohiba short is best enjoyed in a single-stick configuration.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

That was a hoot. What would you do to improve this idea if one considered trying the similar?

You are now on the first step of the Cuban Space Program.

It's the Cohlebra.

I think someone here did put two Shorts together to form a longer stick. Should be a thread somewhere.

To be honest, I'd just say smoke them one after the other. I'd say nothing significant was gained in this experience other than the ability to share something ridiculous.

The Quad-hiba was good for just about an hour of smoke time, so 'bout the same as 4 shorts in a row.

Or..... 

Perhaps a 3D printed multi-ciggy manifold would be a better option?

Intriguing...I've got a deep stash of Cohiba shorts, Trini shorts, and Partagas Chicos and Puritos.    

The wheels are turning...

My wife has a ton of Cohiba Shorts, would be nice to do something with them. They pack a punch FWIW.

At least you gave it a shot.
