I need help finding a good hand-rolled cigar that I can smoke in about 30 minutes without puffing my brains out. I don't smoke in my house because I have a toddler. For the last couple of weeks I've been going for walks around my neighborhood and sometimes I take a Dutch Masters President with me. Now before anyone berates me, I only bought a five-pack strictly for nostalgic purposes (they were some of the first cigars I ever smoked 16 years ago). One lasts for just about the duration of my walk. Right now my favorite cigar is a Baccarat Churchill, but I can nurse one of them for two hours. I need something smaller and quicker to enjoy on my nocturnal journeys. The Dutch Master gets the job done, but let's face it, a cheap cigar tastes like what it is. I want something good. Any help from my fellow inmates will be greatly appreciated.

What about a Baccarat Robusto?

Oliva special G should be a nice 30 min smoke.

I'll have to give both of those a try. Glad to know there is a Baccarat that fits the bill. I just find those good for the end of the day.

Okay no one beat me :-)

I smoke a lot of that size search tins and you will find tons, I am not a jr fan but they have a great choice so does famous. I like the red dots, the partagas blacks and even the fuentes ring size is usually around 33/34 a 4" give or take.

Good Luck and I smoked most so any questions just pm me!

I smoke short smokes in the winter time and I usually stock up on Pepin Black Perlas, Tampa Sweetheart #50 Maduros or for a little longer than the other two an LFD El Jocko.

Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne tins - five 38 x 4" cigars for a mild. For a stronger cigar, the Perdomo Habano Maduro tins.

Lots of manufacturers have petite coronas that might also fit the bill.

This:-)

DPG Black Perla - excellent smoke in its own right. But, also fits the bill for what you are looking for.

Cabaiguan Petite - another excellent smoke. Also fits the 30 min. parameter.

J.Fuego Delirium Minuto - a bit of age on them makes them even better.

Just a couple that I found excellent.

+1 for the Petit Cabaiguans

There are plenty of times I can only smoke a 20-30 minutes stick. So

Ashton Half Corona

Ashton Senorita

Partagas Chicos (CC)

Cohiba Red Pequenos

That should keep you busy.

I enjoy the Ashton Maduro mini's.

Try a K A Kendalls 7-20-4 "Dog Walker" an excellent short smoke. The name says it all, about a 30 minute smoke thats awsome in flavor.

Or try a J Fuego Origen "Originals" they are about 30-45 minute smoke and one of my favorite short smokes. They can be bought for about $1.50 each! Thats an awesome price and I'd pay 2-3 times that for them.

Hemmingway short story, have to agree with the oliva G classic, Petite Cabaiguan

While I can't comment too much on these - except the two CC Partagas offerings - also check AtlanticCigar... I believe they still do a 'Dog Walking' sampler of smaller smokes!

I like petitie coronas when I go for a walk. Some of the ones I smoke are:

- Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1952
- Gullien Goviado
- Gullien Reserva Miraflor
- Padron Principe Maduro
- Illusione 68

There are many others but it is too early in the morning and I have not had my coffee yet :-)

For even shorter smokles I like the Padron Corticos Maduro (6 to a tin).

Has anyone tried the CAO Brazilias that come in a tin... I saw them at my b&m the other day and I thought I'd see if anyone has tried them prior to grabbing one... I love the Brazilias and wondered if they were comparable....

ERDM Demi Tasse- aged if you can find them :-)
