[bardock]

many famnus brands offer minis...romeo y juliet and montecristo for example....are these any good? are they more like cigarettes than cigars? has anyone had good minis? i like a nice hour cigar, but need something for "on the go"...like during a 15min break from work. thanks.

I'm not a fan of these at all but many people are. I wouldn't say they are more like cigarettes than cigars, quite the opposite, they are very small cigars.

To me they burn to hot to enjoy. I've smoked a few Cohiba Clubs in my day but I did not like them.

If you want a 15 minute smoke, look into TPCs or "minutos" the dimensions of Cuban minutos are 4 3/8 x 42. It takes me 15 to 20 minutes to smoke a cigar this size. Another vitola that is even smaller than a minuto is a "perla" which is 4 x 40. Cohiba Siglo I are this size as are Monte #5 & Diplo #5.

i've had the hoyo de monterrey excalibur cigarillos, i think they're pretty good, i didnt notice them being "hot", can get a tin of 20 for about 10 bucks. Only problem i have with the cigarillos is i tend to smoke them fast for some reason, so i have to actually restrain myself from smoking it like its a cigarette

Mini Juliets and Montecristo's and Cohiba's are machine rolled. They aren't bad. I bought a pack of each. I like the Palomitas, they are a brazil make. I buy the modaros and they are hand rolled. There is another cigar called the Man Cigar. I'll let you know more about it once I buy a case. The one or two single I tried were tastey! They are hand rolled too. The fact that those other three are all machine rolled sort of turns me off....
