Smaller sized cigars

[levell3]

OK never thought this would happen but I am hooked on small cigars now. For the longest time all I would smoke was robustos, churchills, figurados, dc's all the big honking sutff. But recently I have had the pleasure of smoking some smaller smokes like the partagas shorts and the pam principe and they were awesome! Always thought that the smaller sizes would not have the same complex blends but all the ones I've had were wonderly complex. Now all my large cigars are sitting there unsmokin'. So now I need the advice of the gorillas out there on some other smaller-sized cigars to try out.

I love the petit coronas as do many others here. You can enjoy them in 30-45 minutes and be quite satisfied. My favs are:
-Boli PC
-Punch RS#12
-Cohiba Siglo II
-SLR PC
-Partagas PC
-SP Non-Plus

Also, try some of the tres petit coronas like...
-Partagas Shorts
-SC El Principe
-RA Small Club Coronas
-Cohiba Siglo I

Ditto to the above, but add

Cuaba Traditionales
Por Larranaga PC
Vegas Robaina Familiar
A nice cheap smoke is the Fonseca Kadet
And if you can find them Monte Joyitas with a little age on them.

:P

I'm not surprised that the general consensus seems to be that it's hard to go wrong with the small smokes. I saw the light on these little gems in February when I was trying to stretch my pesos during a vacation in Cozumel. My current favs have all been mentioned.

Punch Petit Punch
SC El Principe
Partagas Short
Monte 5
El Dentes Short/PC/#5
RA Small Club Corona
Boli PC (at least the '98s are great)

Note: all of the above with the exception of the Boli are mid '01 to early '02. I've got some '99 Cuaba Divinos that aren't nearly as good as some JUN01s I've had.

Pc's and TPC's are great. I would agree with everyones choices but my fav right now is prolly BCJ's from 98'.

[filly]

Ok for my lunch cigars I want one of those Sig II's and I'll also take one of those Boli's! heheheheheh}>

[jeffreya]

Tabacalera Cubana Grand Reserve Lanceros mad or Divinos mad are two very nice smokes, great flavor and full body. :9

[TAK]

All,

Have not tried all those listed but have tried two that was not that I find great little smokes. The Upmann #4 and the Monti # 4.


TAK ;)

...(not to mention Davi Haut Briones);) ...

You have to rub it in, don't you?! come to think of it, I would put it more like:

... Davi Haut Briones }> :+ :7 :9 :* :'( :o :7 }>

[seagarsmoker]

LMAO - the HBs are my fave in this size. Have not had one in a long time though 8*(. As for PCs, I think all the good ones have been mentioned on this thread. I'm partial to RASSC and PPPs myself for the TPCs. The Cuaba Divinos when fresh are also excellent. Agree with the post about the Joyitas - get some with around ten yrs of age on them and watch out!

[levell3]

Man my mouth is watering just thinking about 'em! Now just gotta find some sticks to smoke ;) Thanks again for coming up clutch for me again.

[robmcd]

i'll put in a 2nd or 3rd for hoyo deputes- i recently got a box of 98s that taste like candy ... yum yum :9
