I'm smoking my way through a box of El Principes currently...

For a decent NC short smoke, try the Bolivar Fuerte Petit Bolivars from JR. Like $23 a box and they are actually pretty tasty little gars.


Go Beavs!

Griffins fuerte petit corona. Its a powerful little flavor bomb and the price isn't bad either. They are 29 for a box of 10.

I like a Robusto (5x50) like the Outdoorsman's Reserve Robusto if short on time and since its cheap if I have to chunk it befor I finnish its no problem.

You know after reading this again I think it's important to know what do you mean "short on time"? Like you have 10 minutes to smoke or like you have less than an hour? Having a more specific time period will let us give better reccomendations.

I don't do "short" smokes myself but the number one seller for a quick smoke in my shop is the Cohiba Pequeno.

For less than an hour I like Short Stories and Ashton VSG Tres Mystique.

For real short times I like Partagas in tins and CAO Maduros in tins.

The tin pack cigars are usually not as tasty as regular cigars, but when in a pinch I find them quite a tasty treat.

10 minutes and I don't even bother. For me, cigars are for relaxation and 10 minutes wouldn't do it.

Actually, some of the small Tin-Box cigars I've tried aren't bad at all, for a 10-15 minute smoke.
I like the Padron Corticos (either maduro or natural..both pretty tasty), and I recently tried the small Toraño Reserva Selecta (blue tin), and was pretty impressed.
The key to these little puppies is that you have to be careful not to try to smoke them too fast...just "sip" them with a light draw, otherwise, they get hot and bitter quickly.
I really prefer at least a Robusto sized vitola though, and a large RG Torp or Churchill are even better.
Cool

I have a tin of the CAO Maduro, not bad. Also have smoked Montecruz Negra Cubana Chico's. Those are tasty and affordable.

Yet another vote for the AF Short Story or a tin of the CAO camaroons.

Actually the Cohiba Red Dot Pequenos are quite
affordable, 30 for $44.00 and with a few weeks in the humi they make for a very nice 20 min smoke. Cool

the bolivar pc is a nice little cigar as idesign said, the cao brazilia tins are pretty decent, short stories are great, but not a ten minute smoke...the hdm tins are also decent...
