Little cigars, big quality, suggestions?

Tatuaje Verocu 5

[OnePyroTec]

It gets worn out as an answer but that's because it's always an answer. Illusione R (rothchilde). Between $3-$4. Extremely good cigar. 4.5 x 50

For me, YES on this,

and the Illusione Fume D’Amour Lagunas - 4 1/4 x 42

I hear that Nub is coming out with a line that's 1-inch long by 70 RG.

Yes I think they are calling it the 'nub chode 170'.

It took 17 posts for my favorite small stick to come out. Hemingway SS all day long for me.

Also the Davidoff Nicaragua comes in a 3.7x46 short carona.

I've heard good things about the Oliva Special G maduros too but have not tried that one.

I tried the special G and wasn't impressed by either flavour or construction, but it was a sample of 1...

Tatuaje Verocu 5

Yep this one.

Also Illusione 68

As far as NCs go these are my favorites in order of preference:
1) Guerilla Warfare
2) Cracker Crumbs (Great Flavor and big nic kick)
3) Tat Petite Caz.
4) Tat Verocu 5
5) Travailleurs (less nic kick than cracker crumbs and more complex flavor profile)
6) Papas Fritas
7) Bait Fish/Night Crawler
8) Hemingway SS Maduro


Haven't had the Jericho Hill Shots yet but I'm kind of expecting that to jump up to the #6 spot lol

padron serie 1926 #35, muwat baitfish, and hemingway short story are my favorite small NC sticks.

Caldwell Murcias corona is another inexpensive, quality stick. Less than $4 by the box.

If you're giving them out, you want maximum bang-for-buck. Since you've mentioned these are also for casual/non-smokers, the label might warrant some consideration as well. Lots of great suggestions so far, I'll second the Papas Fritas, Illusione R, Short Story, and a number of others.

But I think the best response I could give would be that there's a whole world of small, delicious petit coronas out of Cuba that are perfect for what you're looking for: H Upmann Half Corona, Ramon Allones Small Club Corona, Boli Coronas Junior, Partagas Shorts, San Cristobal El Principe... all would, impress your friends, taste great, and all of the ones I just listed are regularly under $5 a pop.

I may or may not already have some Upmann half coronas and Quinteros Brevas Definately something to share more with a knowledgeable Bum, than a perhaps want to be... Especially with that little extra kick those cigars seem to have.
