I've been trying a few smaller cigars for those times when an hour is just too long. I've tried smaller rings (~30) and still a bit short (~4"), and then a couple of short (~3") but larger gauge sticks.

I've heard the arguement that smaller gauge cigars are more flavorful as they have less filler, that it's the wrapper that brings the most flavor.

To me a small cigar just seems a bit neutered. But I have to admit that once it's rather short it begins to burn my nose when I leave it in my mouth while doing stuff, which is often for me.

I'm now a bit more inclined to search more through the smaller rings that are close to 4" long.

What is your preference and why?
