Could anyone reccomend a strong full bodied short cigar. Do they exist? Cuban or not Cuban, not important.

RP Missle, Fuente 898 (more spicey than strong), and my new fav the Illusione 88.

Try the new NUB by Oliva; the habano is decently strong. Maybe an Ashton VSG Enchantment or Belicoso.

when you say short, do you mean short in length or short in time? Because the Nub is one short cigar but it lasts for upwards of two hours. If you want a short cigar I'd go with a Bolivar Petit Coronas.

I agree on this one. Strong little cigar. It's my perfect lunch cigar when I'm at work. A little spicy with alot of cherry notes in it.

For a NC I realy like thhe El Jocko by La Flor Dominicana. It's a small powerfull flavor bomb.
For a CC, the Partagas short. Packs a whollop. Big flavor in a small package.

Senor Javel. I'm afraid I know next to nothing about NCs but in terms of cubans I can tell you this: In my experience smaller cigars of a particular marca are often (usually) stronger than their bigger brothers.

eg. I find the siglo I to be the strongest of all the linea 1492 cohibas.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Petit robusto is stronger than the Epicure #2

Recent Montecristo #5s that I have are amongst the strongest montes I have ever smoked.

Ramon Allones Small club coronas are exceptionally good small strong cigars.

I used to love the El Jocko but the last few times I picked them up they were plagued with burn problems. I finally gave up.
