Budget Cigarillos

[CentralTimeSmoke]

Well, unfortunately, it's close to being that time of year again. The cold weather will be here before we know it, and I'll have to say goodbye to my wonderful patio smoking spot. The only time I'll be able to smoke a full-sized cigar will be on unseasonably warm days, and when I can make it down to my local cigar bar.

I'm looking for suggestions on some good cigarillos. Are any of the bundles on CBid worth it? I'd like to be able to sneak outside and enjoy a bit of the cigar smoking experience until my toes are numb. Twenty or so minutes should just about do it.

Right now I've got my eyes on the Nat Sherman Maduro Point Fives.

I'm a fan of the Fuente Gran Reserva Exquisitos when I don't have a lot of time. I especially like that they're available with either a cameroon or maduro wrapper for some variety.

I do love the Esquisitos but I can never get one that has a decent draw. They all pull like trying to suck a Blizzard through a straw.

Other than Point Fives my go to has been CAO smokes. The Gold Karats and Mx2 Daggers are great. I’ve also been wanting to try the Avo Uvezian Classics as I love the standard sized cigars. I also tried La Gloria Cubana Petit Maduro and found them good.

I’ve not cared as much for the smokes under 30 ring.

I am a fan of the General Grants both in robusto and cigarillo. They are dirt cheap but good.

There are some that can't be discussed in this forum. I've only tried one kind, but they were really good. Others get pretty high reviews.

I've been smoking the Consuegras from JR's...bundle of 25 for$42.....Consuegra
Superiore #17 · 5.62 × 47 Maduro....almost like a cigarillo but with better taste.

Got three houseblend cigarillo-ish sized sticks on a trip to DC recently, and they turmed out great. Wish I woulda bought more or lived closer to the shop. Not much of a selection, if any, of houselblends around here.

I am in the same boat as Sean, and will probably start checking some of the tins out.
@CentralTimeSmoke did you find any good ones?

I swear, the winters here on the Great Plains just haven't been as bad the last couple years. I'm still enjoying the full-sized ones into January without much frost bite thus far. But I will say, I really enjoy the Man O' War Puro Authentico for quick smokes.

Joya Red or Black. Also Swamp Thang or KFC are all available in tins.
A bit pricier for what they are, T52 and No 9 also come in cigarillo size in tins, but they are about $2.50 apiece in tins and I’m pretty sure they are short filler. Probably rolled with the trimmings from the regular sized cigars. I think DE offers quite a few options in cigarillo size.
