not quite cigarillos but I enjoy the Padilla Havana Amores, AF Exquisitos (now priced out of my range), and La Gloria Habano Puritos. Yum!

I've had the cohiba pequenos, but i really have to be in the mood for a Cohiba

the CAOs sound like a good option

H.Upmann Cambios come 10/tin. tight draw, but maybe if you let them dry out a bit first. Good flavor.

I smoked Villiger Kiels for a short time. Box press dry-cure, Kami or Mad. Not bad.

I like villigers too. I thought about ordering the schrapnels here, but never got around to it. I think I remember somebody has some for trade I think.

Prime Time Chocolate Mint.


Still like Macoba filters, smoked them throughout the day not too long ago. CI apparently doesn't sell them any more, however, and I usually only smoke those on Fridays when I'm trying to grab a quick smoke or two before a very early ferry run, or if I'm traveling, and just want a quick hit outside of an airport, motel, etc.

Hoyo excalibur minis are the most flavorful minis that I have found.

RyJ puritos. Strong, and rustic. Very tasty. Even come in a neat miniature dress box.

Zino, Montecristo, LGC, Gurkha and Torano all make really good cigarillo size. Oliva G and O are a little bigger than the others, but they're pretty fantastic.

I've tried the Shrapnel "Naturals" very good, and the Don Tomas Cornitas is excellent. If you like a strong smoke try the Don Lino Habinitos.

How about the other 68 sizes! muwuahahaha also dont want a 3-6 buck stick for a break smoke that needs a bit less than 30 mins. Not totally satisfied at times, like I rush it and it sucks

Hmmm... Trinidad Petite Maduros, think seen some place with a special with them...

Seems like someone else posted something along this line recently. Most of the 4X38 versions of their larger sticks that CAO markets. If you like the larger versions you'll probably like the smaller. Some of them are actually better in the 38 gauge. If you are talking about going all the way down to 24-28 ga..... good luck. I've tried a bunch and the only ones I'd buy again on a regular basis aren't legally sold in this country. Shame on you All that said the best small sticks I've smoked were lucky finds on yello-cello LGC maddie, Patagas Prontos (can have draw issues), Perdomo Cammie Moments, and RP Junior sumatra and maddie.... all 30-38ga. And if you find a tin or box you like, turn around a buy a brick from the same place...... fast.Herfing I've still got one or two tins of Victor Sinclair mini triple corojo's squirrelled away which were by far the best version of that blend.

No, they're considered "crap"! Seriously though, any cigar in a 20 to 32 ring gauge are considered by most to be a cigarillo.
