Short smoke recommendations

[nev coss]

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.

as monkey has said , but to the uninformed Trinidad is a town in the Sancti Spiritus region in central Cuba after which the cigars are named

'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.'

Thanks chaps, hope to have some time to start looking some of these up. The ones i dont know anyway.

I did try the El Rey Del Mundo Demi Tasse and did fine it a bit too mild for me. It was a nice smooth smoke, but i didn't get a lot from it. It was one of the first 'proper' cigars i smoked so i expect it will be worth trying t again with a bit more experience under my belt.

Trinidad Robusto T

A short smoke? Around the 30 to 40 minute mark?
If you smoke a Robusto T within 30 minutes you're wasting your money – and your taste buds…

[Petedam]

Ohhhh, that requires me to retort! I am standing firm on the time it should take one to enjoy a Robusto T. Nevertheless, I will re-time myself this coming week and post new findings. Keep an eye on this post around Friday next. As far as money goes, anything you puff goes up in smoke!

100% on this too as it's in the right time frame. But, if you want something stronger then go Punch Margaritas which are strong enough to be after dinner smokes .... or try www.mysmokingshop.co.uk
Simon still has some RA Ramonitas which are superb.

[JamesA]

Thanks again chaps, i have quite a list to research now!

[Petedam]

I did timed myself on a Robusto T and I must admit it took me longer than 40 mins, it was at least an hour. Hat off to Smallclub... The enjoyment was as remembered it though!

[Simon Bolivar]

Glad to hear you didn't rush a great stick just to prove a point! Equally as glad to hear you did enjoy it. Time to stop production eh?

The Ramonitas is a superb smoke, like a RA concentr?, but I wouldn't class it as a real "short" smoke; if you rush it it gets hot and looses its flavors…
