Looking for some recommendations for these little sticks!!

My drive to work is about 20-25 minutes and looking for a quick stick.

I see some on sale at the mothership but not sure how they are.

Partagas black and Padron are pretty good.

The little Excaliburs are good. Small Ashtons are very good, but pricey. CAO Brazilia Cariocas were very good, but it's been awhile. J. Fuego Origen Originals good bang for buck.

Was thinking of these. Especially the Padrons. I haven't had the Padrons in that size.

I'm fond of the pirata pequenos for a super short quick smoke that i dont care if I have to toss a bit of it if I ran out of time. The tip has been sweetened with something but other than that they great.

http://cigarbid.com/Auction/Lot/1932283/Pirata-Pequenos-Tin-of-8/

I did not like the RyJ Minis Aromatic Red as much as the piratas.

I also just bought a 10 pack of short story knock offs from another website that I am curious how they compare for less than half the price.... obviously not gonna be the same but could be good quick smoke.

the excaliburs, RYJ in the blue tin, Ashton, Camacho and if you like flavored at all cuban honeys in Amarillo are some of my favorites. the cohiba and partigas black are a couple of other good ones.

Also you can look at CC's, the club in cohiba are super good and the Partagas are my all time favorite cigarillo. tried the monte but didnt really care for it.

hope you find that perfect fit!

The Cuban Montecristo Joyitas and the Cuban Partagas Chicos are both outstanding short smokes.

For what you can get on this site pricewise, buy robustos or petite coronas that you like ($2-$2.50 each probably) and enjoy what you can and toss the rest. IMHO, for an extra buck, I would rather have a more enjoyable smoke for a shorter period of time instead of just a smoke. fog

These are machine made, but not bad for the price - and the small ones are a good quick smoke.

Oliva Viejo Mundo Cigars - the Cigarillos (3.6"x23) comes in boxes of 50 for around 40, or cheaper when on auction.

I really like the DPG demitasse, they have all the flavor of the original blue blend. Nice cigarillo that's offers what you need when you only have a little time. They come in a small box of (correction they are 30 per box) getting to the bottom of box #1.

I have the same issue. Short drive of about 20 to 25 minutes. I bought a box of Principes, White Grape. Light and fresh and don't stink up the car too much. If I remember right, got a box of 55 for less than 30 bucks. They come foil wrapped, so they don't dry out, and there are other flavors.

J. Fuego Originals are great for about $2. L’Atelier is apparently rolling out a 4 1/2 x 38 size for all of their lines. Might be worth a look too.

Maybe no one else will agree with me. I like the La Aurora Leoninos Corojito...25 for 12.00 on FF. corojo wrapper and not a bad smoke..

My drive is about 35 to 45 depending on traffic. Ill typical light up a corona or robusto at the smoke deck right after work with the guys then finish it off on my drive. If it lasts all the way home i balance it on my fence, walk around let the dogs out and finish Herfing

Just received my short story replicas today. Have high hope...
