Short smoke recommendations

[JamesA]

What would any of you guys recommend for a good smoke around the 30 to 40 minute mark or there abouts?
Cuban or non Cuban, i don't mind. So far i've found that i like a medium to full strength cigar, but i'll try anything once.

Give me a list of stuff i should try chaps!

For me when I fancy a quick smoke I like the following:

HDM Petit Robusto,
Cuaba Divinos
RyJ Cedros
Monte Petit Edmundo (possibly my favorite of this size)
Arturo Fuente Short stories
JPL short Caz
La Estrella de Cubana
Ashton VSG

That's all from me

[Bigboned]

RA small club corona ( RASCC)
Trini Reyes
HDM Petite robusto ( more medium, smooth n creamy but gorgeous)

That would be my top 3

Partagas Shorts last me about 45 minutes and are a great full-bodied smoke. Most shorter smokes that I can think of last about that length of time. Others to try are Bolivar Coronas Junior and Monte No. 5.

As far as NCs go, I'm a big fan of the A. Fuente Short Story, which again should last about 45 minutes but isn't that strong. The Tatuaje Petit Cazadores is a decent and slightly quicker smoke that is quite strong.

But to be honest, my favourite smoke for a 30 minute coffee break is the El Rey Del Mundo Demi Tasse. It is very light so it might not be your thing, but it's packed full of flavour. The only thing is that these need a fair bit of age to develop to their full potential IMO.

Party short
Short story
RASCC
Nub Habano
Siglo I
Trini Reyes (get them before they're gone)
They would be my short smokes.

Trini Reyes (get them before they're gone)

They're getting rid of the Reyes?!??!!!!

[Bad-Yeti]

They're getting rid of the Reyes?!??!!!!

Yeah they realised that they were popular so being a communist country they scrapped them [shrug] weird.

I really hope you're pulling my leg?! If not I might go on a rampage, which will involve fire and nudity!!! It won't be pretty.

As far as I know it's only the Robusto extra and T that's going. There was a rumour that the whole line was Dead started by a German LCDH but later proved false.

I heard the rumour and was relieved when it was proved false, but Pandyboy's comment made me wonder whether he had access to some new inside info about discontinuing the Reyes.

Sorry Yeti, while great cigars like the Reyes stay in production my clothes stay on and the petrol stays unlit. But if HSA's recent form is anything to go by it won't be long before I'm forced to become a naked pyromaniac vigilante. I promise pics when it happens.

Never 'proved' false AFAIK. My understanding (from excellent sources) is that HSA announced they have stopped making the current Trinidad line but will re-introduce it next year in a revamped form. I have also been assured most regions have years worth of stock.

HSA really don't understand the brand (and never have) and cannot get close to the sales volume required at it's premium price point. It also didn't help naming it with the same name as another Caribbean island as many casual observers think it is a Non-Cuban brand.

I have however put a couple of boxes away

This is Cuba however and anything can happen.

"We have posted some news about the discontinuation of Trinidad - and that has caused a lot of discussions. Even though we have been informed personally about what we have posted two days ago the NOW offical statement is, that Reyes, Coloniales and Fundadores will not be discontinued but only the other sizes such as Robusto T and Robusto Extra. Sales figures are just too bad to justify a further production. Always good to see more news from Havana every day. Stay tuned for more"

[monkey66]

Yup, Wolters is very well respected and a great source. Lets wait and see because official statements and actual outcomes are not always the same.

Thanks guys, will look into those. There are a few I've tried there but plenty I haven't!
