Those Short Stories are tasty. But I have noticed that they take almost just as long to smoke as a normal robusto, or even a toro vitola, depending on the manufacturer. It sounds like you might enjoy some other cigars of the robusto variety. A good way to become familiarized with a number of different cigars, usually customized to your needs, is to try the Newbie Sampler thread in the Exchange section of the forum. I got started there from nothing. Now I have a much better idea of what I like - and what I don't. Good luck.
