Good idea on the shorty reviews.
That fire one sounds pretty good...will have to give it a try, I am not really worried about the cold, but the time away from the other projects sometimes dictates a shorter smoke.

Famous smoke shop exclusive
All Nicaraguan made by Plasencia
Maduro wrapper (also comes in a Natural version)
Boxes of 40 are 39,99
Smoke time 30 min
This is one of the best values for the $ for short smokes, imho. This is a stout cigar, full in body and flavor. When fresh they are almost on the bitter side and could be overpowering. Aged about a year, they mellow nicely and the bitter edge disappears completely.
The flavor is not subtle, no hints of hazelnut or freshly cut grass, just straight forward tobacco and plenty of white smoke. The construction on these has always been just fine and very consistent. The cigars are solid and well packed.
If you like full bodied / full flavored cigars, you cold pussy version is right here, imho.
Montecristo Memories
4 x 33 small Little sucker
smoke time was around 5 to 8 min befor i ran my (CPS) self back in the house to warm up.
rough construction it looks like they were made from scraps, wrinkly junk wrappers.
I would have to say they are hand made, no machine rolled cigar looks this bad.
the burn was what i expected from a small cigar nice white ash and a fast fairly even burn.
they may have been a Little on the dry side.
Taste was on the mild side to very mild it was not like smoking any Montecristo i have ever had.
I would not say it was tasteless but it just didn't have much to offer in the way of taste.
The memory of smoking it faded fast and i was wanting to smoke a better cigar the minute i got back in side the house, maybe thats why they named them memories
ill try one more this week just in case the one i had was a bad one.

OK i could not stand it i had to give this little cigar a 2nd chance on my way to work.
After spending just one day in the coolerdor at 70% this Little cigar has really lived up to what i was expecting out of a Montecristo.
The first one was way to dry for some reason, the white ash and fast burn should have clued me in.
Tonights was really a tasty Little cigar. 20 min burn time and the ash was a light Gray with a decent tobacco taste, It is still a mild smoke but not bad at all.
I smoked this one right down to where i was burring my fingers, this time it didn't leave me wanting more.
I think what really made the difference was me not freezing my ass off and rushing to get threw the cigar.
I may have to pick some more of them up if i can get a good deal on Cbid.
