Does anyone smoke little cigars from tins?

dtrdwngs

I ordered some tins of smokes because they were so cheap. I started smoking the minis a while back when it started to get cold. That way, I can smoke quickly and not waste a good stogie. If you have smoked these, what brands do you like?

I've found the CAO MX2 daggers to be nice but have a very tight draw. The price is decent and flavor is good. I've also tried the Gurkha G3 tins - good little cigars, but a little pricey for what you get.

CAO Italia is decent in the tin.

i just dont like the concept of a "quick smoke"
thats not what im looking for.

Fuente Cubanito's are very good little smokes.

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real & Macanudo are the ones I ordered in tins. The deal was pretty good so I couldn't pass it up. I hear what you are saying about not liking the idea of a quick smoke but today it was 6 degrees. I am not going to sit outside for 90 minutes smoking a cigar in that cold. Being in the military, I can't just light up inside because it's cold outside. The smaller cigars make perfect sense in my case. Any other reccomendations on these?

I've been known to smoke the tin cigars in the winter. All of the CAO's are pretty good but have tight draws typically. Fuente and Cohiba are both ok.

I like the Ashton Senoritas for a quick smoke...in an unrelated development, I'm a fan of senoritas in general.

I like the cohiba's and the cao moontrance is pretty cool smoke-really different in a good way. partagas is good.

I like the 5 Vegas Shorty for a quick smoke. All the quality of their larger smokes in a tin sized torpedo.

I agree with J0z3r on this one. I always have a few of these lying around in case I don't want to sit out in the cold for to long.

I don't like quick anything, minus shopping with the woman..

I have a tin of the MX2s and Oliva Gs that are great if you don't have time to sit and relax but still want some flavor to hold you over in the meantime.

Coronas are my short smoke. I'm occasionally tempted to try cigarillos, but haven't followed through on it, yet.

5 Vegas "gold nuggets" are my favorite short smoke. Good mild to medium body with decent flavor.

I had macanudo from a tin once, my friend gave me one on the ship when i only had a 45 min break from the flight deck(15 minutes of that is dedicated to food!) it was good and just the right length of time. I saw tins of RP 90's in the B&M the other day when i was "v" hunting. I think i'll pick up a tin and see how they are, if theyre good i'll probably bring the to the ship with me. They definatley DO have their place in the cigar world.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Another little smoke I think is good is one I got from Bad Andy, it's called a Martinez Gold Series bandito. This cigar is a little flavor bomb sporting Dominican, Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers inside a Nicaraguan binder and Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, all that in a 4.5 x 36 package.

I think you're thinking of "y" hunting.....

I am waiting for some 5 Veges shortys that were free with an order I placed. I think it is 5 tins of 8 for a total of 40. Can't wait for all my new smokes to get here.

i personally am not a fan of the shorty.

i have not met anyone else that does not like them though.

VX hunting... I hear that's a crime.

The RP 90s are good in the shorty size.

I have a tin of the CAO Maduros and they're actually pretty good. I was suprised at how much flavor and punch the little guys packed. Great for a quick smoke.

Another small smoke, though not a tin, is the Punch Champion. I'll admit it is not a quick smoke though, I just figured a little firecracker like that deserved some honorable mention. I know Maddy is with me on this one.

Didn't know about these. I may have to try them. I am really trying to give more maduros a chance. I want to expand my cigar collection quite a bit with corojo and maduros etc. You can never have enough cigars.

gmill880

Yea the Punch Champion is great-quite surprising the first time

Another one I didn't know about. Will look into these. Thanks

I have tried Macanudo cigarellos, not bad, but if you're looking for a quick smoke, I would try these and see what u think.

A quick smoke with no flavor ...

I tried Swisher Sweets cigarillos, once. Don't ask.
