Bigger Cigars?

[Zeede]

I tend to like coronas most, as I'm trying to get that magic "this is what they were shooting for" bundle of tastes and aromas, but I do like the fat robusto (5x56) that CAO makes, as well as Boneshaker and Diesel UHC

When trying a blend for the first time I usually try and find out which vitola was the original one, since I figure that was the one they blended and liked enough to put into production.

In general though, I think I have a really weak palate (or one that's easily bored) so I find that the longer the cigar lasts, generally I'm not getting anything new out of it.

For some cigars, this is fine, because I'm enjoying a cigar to slow down and relax. So long as the flavors are pleasant and enjoyable, I'll keep smoking it.

Long story, short, it depends

What size would you say is their 30 min smoke? The #1?

My bad, Jay. I was speaking to an NC that is an AWESOME mild smoke. I was blown outta the water by that one. The #1, I wouldn't wanna give that one less than 45min of my time. You had mentioned that NC's were either way too harsh or they sucked, this one is beautifully complex, yet a mild stick

IMO, for a 30 min smoke it doesn't get any better than a Fuente Hemingway Short Story.

Can't go wrong with those.

One of my favorites!

I also really like the Mo'W Puro Authentico for a short smoke.

Lasts longer than 30 minutes for me, but I'd be in full agreement with you on this!

Don't know how long one lasts for me, can't recall, but would likely be 45min...50mim, or more. But I'm a kinda slow smoker, and figure most burn cigars quicker'n I do.
Some tome back when buying a box of the 8-5-8, think they were Coronas Natural, was offered what seemed a good deal on a box each of the Hemingway Short Stories and the Ashton (cabinet?) Tres Petite. Both of those two boxes smoked well ...and were a much more of a bargain then I thought at the time. Just realized haven't seen the Ashton Tres Petite mentioned on Cigarbum .

I know not of this vitola

Found a little info on the Tres Petite from Ashton. Famous has them at $201.00 for a box of twenty five a pack of five for $40.99and a single at $8.95.
Made by Fuente. Conneticut wrapper, fillers and binder D.R.Quite an enjoyable smoke, tho a tad pricey for this Bum.
The box of the Tres Petites cost me $117.00, there was a price sticker in the box...$10.30. The Short Stories cost $99.00 both purchased along with a (sadly at full price) box of the 858 but no Tax on any of them. Got them about at this time of year, four years ago...when the Tres Petite Cab and the S.S. were reduced because they'd not sold over the Holidays, yeah sometimes a good deal can be snagged on a cold evening. The only other Ashtons I've had were a nearly full box of the Magnums can't recall the price, good cigar tho again too high priced for further buys.
NYTONY might like the Tres Peite...prolly has a few boxes stashed away for Golf days.
