ERDM DEMI TASSE

[waldo]

Looking for a small, quick smoke.

So how are these?

The description here says that they are subject to tight draws.:-(

I've got Party Shorts and San Cristobol principes, just looking for some other options.

I've tried a couple of singles in the last two months or so, from what I think is an '05 box. While one or two of them had a firm draw, it wasn't anything too bad. Being a small ring cigar, even a tight draw isn't that bad when compared to a tight draw on a robusto etc. Get the oldest box you can. While the few I had progressed over the two months I had them, they still weren't all that good. They had a rather unpleasant bitter after-taste, which meant that I never actually finished any of them. Apparently they're very tasty with a few years on them, but I haven't had the privilege.

I bought a handful to try a couple months back and was not impressed. There are better small ring cigars out there.

I've only smoked the 1990s, which seem to be widely available, and I found them a stunning smoke, rich, complex, and full bodied. These cigars need some age. Party Shorts and S.C. Principes are not alternatives to the Demi Tasse in terms of size or quickness; I'd suggest the Punch Margaritas or Rafael Gonzalez Cigarritos

Trinidad Reyes

The DT is alright but there are far better short smokes as noted above. My personal favs are the RASCC, Bolivar Corona Junior and Trini Reyes, the later particularly in the morning after breakfast or mid morning work break.

I like them because you can take them to the ballgame and when your cigarette smoking buddies go to the smoking area it gives you something to do. They're also great for short car trips. If you're trying to compare them to a tpc or minuto, don't. You can't. They're good for what they are, but they're a little pricey for what you get.

If you want quick, CHEAP smokes, get some Partagas Chico's.

i find the demmi tesse good for a 15 minute fix..of some cuban flavour.

sometimes when im very short on time and get that craving ill grab one on the go.

For a really small and really quick smoke, I grab a Cohiba Mini or Club. With a little more time, I tend to go for the RASCC.

I love the aged DT's. RyJ Petit Julietas are the same size and very tasty as well.

Have heard good things about Boli DT's but can never find a place that has them intact.

I tried these and they were very tight until about 1/4 of the way up then they opened up a bit for the draw...

Flavor of these was good but the draw has kept me away...

Go with the clubs if you want a quick smoke...

I like the ERdM Demi Tasse but it is a runner up to the Bolivar Demi Tasse. I can’t really say that they are worth the money but I will continue to buy them nonetheless as my supply diminishes. They can be the perfect cigar for some occasions… but not all. I doubt that any cigar will replace HdM LeH du Depute in my eyes. The du Dep is an overall really good quick cigar when you want something less than a PC. As far as plugs are concerned, that fear is overrated. I suppose I have had more plugged Lonsdales than any other cigar, but that was an event largely limited to turn of the century cigars.

As always I would suggest that you try them both even if it means buying some singles instead of a whole box of either.

There is never a good reason (other than you can’t afford it) to try at least one of any Cuban cigar. -Piggy

Here are a few of my favorites... not including the small Cohibas.

ERdM Demi, Monte Joyita, HdM du Depute, RASCC, PLPC
