Tat PCR is my absolute favorite short smoke.
Recently someone sent me a DPG demitasse, I think it was youngra, it was delicious.
Oliva Special G Maduro is good.
Padron 64 Principe

that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Most of the time it's too cold here to smoke anything good, so I stock a few robustos and coronas to get me thru the cold months. I'm in NW CT and its white now and 6-12" more coming tomorrow and Sunday. I smoked a couple of Liga IV Almirantes today while shoveling and cleaning up from the last snow and bringing some wood in for an elderly neighbor. They are not a bad work smoke, but don't even think about buying them if you don't have a drawpoker or you may end up throwing a third or more of them away. Also have some C'est La Vie robustos, but they don't seem to be as good as last year's and one I smoked today had a string of plastic in it. I'm cursed that way, I find bones in Mickey D's fillet of fish and my last batch of backwoods about 15 years ago had a feather rolled in it (boy did it stink).

That looks good, send me some. But really no bands to mess with, only if it had a pig tail so I dont need a cutter and if it could light itself and were in business. Thanks for your valid input Applause

The Viaje Zombie SS that I had was OUTSTANDING. Only had one. It's a shorter smoke.
Verocu was amazing also.
Tatuaje Petite Reservas, as well as the PCRs.
AVO XO Notturno will always be a favorite.
Baitfish
DPG Demitasse
LFD DL Chiselito. (Thanks, Gae)
LG Diez? small smoke, but one of the best I've had. (Thanks, Tuck)

I've found that you should smoke the Baitfish slowly, no more than a puff every two minutes or so, to get the best out of it. It is not a good choice if you're in a hurry, imho.
