Are there any good really small cigars out there that won't break the bank? Looking for something that takes 20-30 minutes without trying to chief the whole thing. Generally want something that I can smoke while on my work break that only lasts 40 minutes. Obviously looking for something hand rolled, nothing machine rolled or nothing like backwoods or all that junk that taste like rolled up toilet paper rolls.

Thanks!

Trinidad Reyes, Partagas Shorts, Ramón Allones Club Coronas, Fuente Short Story. All great cigars that you can get fairly reasonable cost. The Fuente being the most expensive in my list.

I'm mostly a large ring, maduro guy but always trying to find more time to smoke cigars. With 4 kids at 5 and under, my time is limited.

What's your target price point, HtT? Price per cigar? Cbid availability only? I have a long list of very good small cigars across a wide spectrum of flavor profiles, cost and availability.

I smoke a .75 cigar (cbid price) on the way to work every day that few here would ever consider....and at the other end, one of my all time favorites is a short robusto that runs close to $20 per

You'd probably like cracker crumbs.

I probably wouldn't want to spend more than $5 per cigar for something like this. I generally don't buy too many cigars over this price anyways unless I want something special. The important part is that it has good flavor and doesn't taste like cardboard or a Swisher Sweet. haha

Partagas Chicos are a cheap and cheerful 20 min smoke.

Does the MUWAT Bait Fish have the same flavor profile as the standard MUWAT? I only ask as I was not a huge fan of that one.

It has been asked...and answered....but there are some relative newcomers

L'Atelier Surrogates Cracker Crumbs
Crowned Heads Imperiosa Magicos
La Palina Kill Bill
RomaCraft Aquitaine Pestera Muierilor - a little HTF at times, and perhaps over your budget, but awesome
Illusione Fuma D'Amour Lagunas

Not so new....
Baitfish
J. Fuego Origen Originals (and the maddies...and the yellow sangre's)
LP Papas Fritas
Illusione 68
Tats: PCR, Verocu 9, a few others


Back in some of my super cheapo days, I used to get the Cain F lancero seconds (I forget what cbid called them) and cut them in half

Cuban: HUHC
the rest:
PLPC
Party Short
RASCC
Boli PC
SCdH Principe

same wrapper....San Andres...so similar ....but worse, IMO.....but, I'm one of the few around here who doesn't like the SA wrapper....my guess is that if you don't like the MUWAT, you won't like the baitfish...nor the Guerilla whatever they are that many around here seem to like

Illusione Rothchild. You might have to chief it a little.
I am a Baitfish fan, so the work for me.
I picked up some Don Pepin Garcia blues that are in a petite firm. 5 or 6 in a little box. Not bad if they aren't plugged.

It's not totally useless, but close. In this case, I searched on "quick" in titles and came up with quite a few...and "short"

you can sometimes fare better with google site search "site: cigarbid.com quick smoke" or 'short cigar', etc.

don't mind Carl...at least he didn't tell you to go back where you came from, and I hope you get shot on the way....besides....some of my recommended choices are newer and not included on the older thread, anyway

I think all of the CC Cigarillos went down hill when they were moved over to the ICT Puritos range. Still not bad just not as good as they were when you could still get them in DB25 boxes. fog

I've heard that from others as well. Only recently started buying minutos/cigarillos so I can't speak
From experience. Chicos have a nice tobacco flavor albeit one dimensional IMHO. Picked up 7 boxes for $179.....just over a buck ea.

My personal fav is the ERDM Demi Tasse, but they're at least 3X in price and the OP was looking for cheap so I suggested Chicos.

The ERDM Demi Tasse are fantastic cigars. I also like the Montecristo Joyitas which can be found for around $5 each if you look around.

True story: Several years back I'm at an event hosted by Jose Blanco of La Aurora fame, and my clueless cigar newbie pal walks up to Jose and asks him if it's a good idea to take a long cigar and use a guillotine cutter to cut it in half, to get two short smokes, for when time is short.

I'll never forget Jose's answer. He kind of did a "face palm" and said in a groan, "I wish you had never asked me that!"

Classic.
