Thread: Anyone smoke cigarillos?

Having a pretty involved maintenance job on military helicopters (as seen in my avatar) I don't have a lot of time for a smoke break, I don't smoke cigarettes only cigars on occasion. Now every once in a while after a job I like to light a cigar, maybe a Rocky Patel 1990 or an Opus X if I'm feeling fancy, but there just isn't enough time co that kind of break. So my question leads to cigarillos, I know they're small and you don't need to go through the prep of a cutter or an even light. Has anyone smoked them? Any recommendations? Anyone an exclusive cigarillo smoker? Any ideas help, thanks again everyone

I love me my black and milds. I've also become a fan of nub. Still need a cutter but a pocket knife works.

I have only tried Ashton and Davidoff, but liked both. They are sort of pricey, though; about $1 each I think.

I don't neccesarily mind black and milds, and as advertised the nubs smoke about as long as a normal cigar, but theyare definitely worth the price.

Oh, I've tried the CAO mini cigars as I think they call them. They come 4 or 5 to a tin and are close to a buck each. They can be gotten in a variety of wrappers from Connecticut to Maduro so you can find something to your liking.

The humidor down the street sells cigarillo sized montecristos, and romeo y julietas. I enjoy them if I'm deliberately getting little guys. I figure if you're gonna smoke it, it might as well be fine tasting.

I can't do black and milds or anything that has flavors. I don't trust the funky smell coming off cheaper smokes. If it doesn't smell or taste like a natural plant burning I can't see why people smoke it. Not burning anybody's posts here... just for conversation.

Now don't get me wrong, i appreciate a full cigar by all means. I have a humidor that i've managed to finally keep full. I have everything from Rocky Patel Vintage series, to Opus X, a few Graycliffe and even a couple new Ave Maria and finally i have one God of Fire. So i do enjoy a full size cigar. Just at work i dont have a full cigars time. I may pick up some natural flavored cigarillo from my go to site, Cigars International - discount cigars, humidors, cigar accessories great site you should check it out.

Not really, too much to carry around all at once, plus i wouldnt get to finish it all, by finish i mean enjoy. I really need something i could just light and smoke in about 5-8 minutes. Thats why i was thinking cigarillos. Thanks for the idea though
