Thread: Anyone smoke cigarillos?

I'm generally a Robusto or above guy, lately the La Aroma de Cuba new blend. I outgrew my humidors and humidified a walk-in closet.

Montecristo Joyitas are excellent little cigars.

Before I quit smoking, I'd partake in the occasional Garcia y Vega cigarillo and thoroghly enjoyed them.

these are all great ideas, and i think now its time for me to just pick a brand an jump in!

The mini cigarillos I reach for when I want the quick 5 minute smoke is Ashton. They are about the same size as a cigarette. If I want a 10 minute smoke I'll reach for the La Cubana or Hoyo De Monterrey. The CAO's are more of a 15+ minute smoke which are great for catching the tail end of the sunset on the back porch on a summer evening.

I'm thinking Alta Gracia or Erin go Bragh, for 20$ for a box of 50, it sounds like a good deal and cheap if I decide I don't like them, anyone tried these yet?

Do Colts or Captain Blacks count as cigarillos, or are the too pedestrian?

Honestly I can say I haven't heard of those, but will give anything a try, thanks for the idea

Well to be honest, I didn't even think that those brands may not be sold in the States. You guys get brands that we don't, and vice versa. If I can get a picture of a pack I'll post it and get a consensus....
