mgillett Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Given the lack of time I get to myself these days to enjoy a larger cigar, I thought I might throw the question out there, what is your favourite minicigarillo? I am partial to the Cohiba Clubs but have not tried a decent sample of other contenders. Any out there that I should be giving a go?
jay8354 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Tried a few of them and never liked them at all. Feels and looks like a cigarette. Have to be very very slow in smoking them or they are harsh and nasty. Given that there are a range of smaller cigars, I would lean more to those before Minicigarillo. Just my 0.01 cent.
Bill Hayes Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I like the Montecristo Cigarillos better than the Cohibas. I guess to me they taste more like cigars than cigarettes even though they are a tad harsh they have lots of toasty flavour but no complexity. I also don't mind the Partagas Chicos - machine made, a little bigger at 29 ring guage and 106mm I think. They exhibit a few of the taste queues of the larger hand rolled Partagas cigars. ;-)
n-tron Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I've tried several brands and have yet to find one that isn't a waste of 15 minutes. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra money for Montecristo Joyitas, Rafael Gonzales Cigarritos, or Cohiba Panetelas. Fine smokes all. Of course, YMMV.
El Presidente Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Cohiba Clubs are the standout. Nothing else really comes close. When they were available, the Ramon Allones Bits of Havana were a gem.

Rats of Havana are a fond memory, they were my morning drive to work smoke. I have replaced them witth HDM Midi's. not bad but not BoH.
cfc1016 Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Let's bring this back. Obviously, CoShos have become the new standout in this field in recent years. I'm particularly fond, though, of partagas chicos and serie clubs.
