Dry cured and other short smoke options?

[LazyLightning]

Hi folks,
I started smoking cigarettes at age 13, and was a 2 pack a day smoker for nearly 30 years. When I got into pipe smoking I quickly went from 2 pks a day down to 1, and when I got into smoking cigars I got down to slightly less then half a pk a day. I am ready to finally quit once and for all, but I also believe it's much easier to change/replace a behavior instead of stopping it (at least in regards to "bad" habbits)

What I am looking for are good 10-15min smokes, I don't know much about dry cured cigars, but they look promising for the purpose. Cigarillos may be another option, but I am trying to keep it on the cheaper side for this purpose. I am not interested in black and milds/swisher sweets, etc... as I would much prefer natural tobacco, not filled with a bunch of chemicals.

So I guess my question is, what are some decent quality dry cured smokes, and if the cost isn't to bad I would entertain some cigarillo suggestions.

EDIT-I meant to add, I am not looking for anything infused.

Thanks in advance, and I hope you are all doing well.

Chris

De Nobili nice smoke that comes in a 5 or 10 pack can't remember which. Also has a long version which could be cut in half doubling the count.

Thanks for the suggestion Joe, the only dry cured cigars I have ever tried (that I remember) was the De Nobili Popular. They have a pretty nice woodsy flavor to them and not a bad price.

These are identical to Parodis (same product made by the same company, just a different brand) and were the first cigar I ever smoked 50 years ago, and still a short-smoke favorite of mine today. I smoke the kings (4 1/2 x 34) and that's closer to a 25 minute smoke, but the Ammezzatis (3 1/2 x 34, same as the Denobli Popular) are closer to 15-20 minutes. And the side benefit is that you can throw them in your glove compartment unhumidifed, smoke them years later and hardly notice the difference.

I'm glad I found this thread. Just looking into dry cured cigars after reading the thread on a dry box. Fascinated I am of the concept.

Sorry to resurrect an oldie, but didn’t see a point in starting a new one…

Well this obviously didn’t happen the way I wanted it too. I did cut down a good bit though.

I am ready though, especially now after everything that happened 3 weeks ago. Now it’s getting slightly cooler out, my plan is to use some of the above suggestions, as well as bring back into my daily rotation a small pipe or two, to curb any cravings. Obviously my afternoon cigar will also play a very key role.

I’m planning to stop cold turkey, no tapering off cigarettes. All that will do is delay success.

Probably start sometime at the end of next week once I get some smaller sticks for in between, I am going to do this too, I’ve put it off far too long.

I wish you much success Chris. That is a monster I haven’t been able to slay. I grew up with both parents smoking indoors and began smoking cigarettes at age 14. I turn 70 next month and I’m still sucking on those things. It wouldn’t be much benefit for me after all of these years.

All I can say is eight packs a day, I woke up one day in April of 1997 and threw them in the trash never looked back. My pipes and cigars have helped a lot in transitioning so did celery sticks and carrots not to mention tootsie roll pops. You got this, them stinkers don’t have a chance!
