In praise of ERDM Demi Tasse

ERDM DTs are great little smokes - one of the best pound for pound out there

Great little smokes for a few £, as sticks increase in price I’m not sure where things like this will sit though as there’s definitely a ceiling on little smokes like this and it’s already probably half the U.K. price

Good point, smaller cigars have always been more expensive per square inch than larger, DC's being ht echeapest of all! I would baulk at paying a tenner for a DT in a cigar lounge & would probably chose a mid range, last time in JJ Fox I chose a Hoyo des Dieux. Back in 2006 D.T.'s were about E1.60 in Spain & UK £4. This size now range in price around E3.5-E4 in Spain but £9-11 in the UK.

One reason I don't have more boxes of smaller stix is that when I travel I look for more expensive cigars, as the amount saved is far more than on the smaller boxes but once I have collected my remaining stock from Belgium, I will start buying small to med size to top up as after all, I smoke more of these than large smokes these days.

Krist, ERDM DT, Hoyo du Marie & R&J Petit Julieta's are still in production, there was a rumour a few yrs ago they might discontinue the ERDM (which is when I started stocking up just in case) but so far so good.

This thread actually inspired me to add a ERDM DT for a little travel pack this weekend (see ‘what are you smoking today -Saturday 30th’)

It only just fit into a HUHC tin (needed to be cut and was a bit of a squeeze)

I had the HUHC as it was early so wanted something milder.

I might have to get some of the Hoyo and R&J if I can find them. 👍🏼

I'm a fan. Much prefer these over puritos. Have a box, don't have space for another!

I'd hope so Banos, these are hand rolled after all! , if only there were £4 in UK instead of £10 & available I'd top up now.

The RyJ petit julieta is a pretty good alternative too.

how do they compare to the RyJ Julieta?

Not sure I've had one of those yet.

Still have some from THAT box, my only purchase at auction before I understood all the 'add ons' of the process...

Had one recently first in a while, it was dreadful. Tasted like dirty old ashtray tbh, I couldn't smoke it. Not wanting to be defeated I then lit up a Trinidad short and it was glorious and despite its size it lasted a good 20 mins.
