Small Cigars

[rodwha]

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?

changin up to shorts..takin to long to smoke the long ones now days..so Im doin shorts..

[rodwha]

Why would you prefer short and fat over longer and thinner assuming smoke time being equal?

I prefer neither short and fat nor long and skinny. Petite corona. Think Baitfish, Papas Fritas, Papi Chulo, Shots, etc. I can take one down in 45 minutes to an hour and enjoy robust flavor. I dont find them to be neutered in the slightest. YMMV.

I voted Long and skinny, but really we shouldn't be so superficial; personality is what matters most

I don't enjoy big RG cigars, regardless of length

Coronas and petite coronas are my favorite small cigars. Not a big fan of short & fat.

I prefer the Rothschild, and the petite coronas.

Corona, petit corona and every now and then a rothschild to mix it up. Don't like long and skinny.

Exactly how I feel. My favorite short is a Papas Fritas and with a little one at home I'm having to stock up on them more and more as time is no longer as abundant as it was once was.
