I have never tried one. But is on my list. Toscano classico. They are made in a way that you can cut it in half for two quick smokes.
Looks like a proper Dog Rocket!

A certain famous American vendor sells a box of 40 cigars called Famous Maduritos which are a buck a piece. They're a bit one dimensional but perfectly smokable and 4x40 size.
When you remove an Intero Toscano cigar from its package, cut both ends of the cigar by approximately 1/16 of an inch. This allows for increased flow throughout the cigar, making it easier and more pleasurable to smoke. The true Italian method of cutting a Toscano cigar is to use a cigar cutter because it prevents the cigar from splintering, with resultant undesirable fragments of tobacco. A perfect cut is the necessary condition for even burning properties.
A very frequent question asked is whether a Toscano cigar should be smoked whole (Intero) or halved (Ammezzato). In Italy, it is a culture to cut and smoke a Toscano cigar in halves, but there are also those who enjoy smoking it whole. Both ways offer unique experiences with different flavors and aromas. The act of smoking must be unhurried: do not draw on the cigar too strongly or too frequently as this would cause the cigar to become too hot.
Looks knarly dude! Smoke well though. I like them too. I'm just a cigar whore, I'll take anything.
You dirty dirty boy.

Can you guys give me a few recommendations of you favourite smaller smokes? I want something I can enjoy when I don't have an hour or more to spare. My collection only really consists of larger RG's so I quite fancy something on the smaller scale which I can maybe enjoy in 15 minutes or so with a coffee. I have some RASCC's which are about the smallest I have but I still want a good 35 40 minutes on one of those!
A quick reply, based on my own short smoking experience is Romeo Y Julieta - Petit Julietas - This is my number one, for a short smoke with El Ray Del Mundo - Demi Tasse being second. Punch Margaritas as an alternative Both are most enjoyable with a coffee. Both can be smoked in 20 minutes, depending on each persons pull rate. I know these can last an hour so 30 minutes would be a starter. Great 30 minute smoke with the R&J obviously a little more medium than the light Demi Tasse.
**EDIT** La Rica Tubos! This is a very short smoke. I forgot about it. Have some Tubos left. Very cheap, but for the cost, a cracking little cigar (when not blocked lol)....!!
So plus one's to these who have mentioned the above and thrown in alternatives. Always great to look them up and place a cheeky order to try them! Love it!
+1 to that, wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. Love the Petit Julietas and planning a box (not to split!). I'd rather not smoke than rush something in fifteen minutes, too close to cigarette smoking.
I agree with this as well. I am tempted to try some of the cuban cigarillos but I don't expect them to be more than glorified hamlets. Then again, I could well be proved wrong
