"Everyday smokes"

[Alexw33]

Everyday smoke is a term I hear quite often and I wondered what are people's views on what makes a good everyday smoke, value, time to smoke, etc? I'd also be interested in what people's favourite ones are? I rarely find longer than an hour to smoke so the larger cigars are more occasional than everyday, so I'd say something like the Por Larranaga Panetelas being relatively cheap and quick to smoke while still giving me my Cuban fix.

For me an 'everyday' smoke is a small one that I might enjoy with a cup of coffee, especially on holiday, or a cheapie that I might smoke when I'm doing something else like DIY or gardening.

'I rarely find longer than an hour to smoke' - a great quote I read said that if you can't find an hour in the day for a good cigar then you're living your life too fast.

I like that quote.

But yea for me an everyday smoke would have to be something I could smoke in 45 mins max.

Wise words PeeJay but my issue comes with the fact that I don't smoke in the house nor am I lucky enough to have an amazing herf hut like yourself, so especially this time of year I try to keep my smokes short.

For me an everyday smoke is normally reasonably priced and shouldn't take me more than45 mins to smoke over a coffee

ERDM Demi Tasse sounds perfect for that

Demi Tasse are indeed in my rotation which also includes Upmann Half Corona, Upmann Coronas Junior, RyJ Nr 3, RyJ petite Coronas, Trinidad Reyes, as well as the odd LA Gloria Cubana and Cohiba panetelas.

I've been meaning to try a Upmann half corona for a little while now, I'll probably pick up a box when I next go to Spain either them or Partagas D6. Trinidad Reyes is one of my all time favourites when they have a good few years on them. Not smoked many RyJ's at all, I'm not sure the general flavour profile suits my taste and I've never had a La Gloria Cubana.

i would also look at the JLP Creamas.... very cheap but a decent smoke, i was very surprised when i bought my box of 5.

Everyday smokes for me are not so much based on size, but on price. When I have a cigar while playing golf, I wouldn't take one of the finer specimens in my humidor, but one of which I bought a box and have plenty. And some that won't cost too much, because I know I won't give it my undivided attention.

Agree somewhat with Niela. It's more to do with price/quality for what I'd consider an everyday smoke. That said roughly, bigger cigars = higher cost (very roughly - don't jump on me!)

For an everyday smoke I'd usually go for one of the following:

- Monte No. 4
- Upmann Half Corona
- Flor De Cano Selectos

All are relatively short smokes, relatively cheap smokes and great quality.

I'm not a golfer, but I'm much the same, it's more a cost based thing, combined with not taking the primo sticks out and about if I'm wandering. It's not they'd be wasted, more that I might not be give them "proper" attention.

[Alexw33]

Very good points on it being more about price than size, although I guess the cost to size ratio plays a part. I have a couple of boxes of Fonseca No 1's that I use if I can't give the cigar my full attention (out walking or playing golf) they are not the smallest but were very good value imo.
