I’m no stranger to cigars, I’ve enjoyed many cigars over the years. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the large, thicker ones that take hours to burn, to the small, skinny cigars of which you can finish in under an hour. When I’m on the go, something small, convenient and quick is essential, and that’s when I turn to little cigars.
Little cigars are the perfect way to enjoy a short, easy cigar smoking experience. They’re much smaller than traditional cigars, often being as small as a cigarette, and since they’re much thinner and lighter the smoke doesn’t quite get to the same intensity as a larger cigar. Little cigars are ideal for those moments when you don’t have the time to commit to a full-fledged cigar session.
Little cigars are often designed to mimic the flavor profile of a larger cigar. They usually have similar wrapper leaves, binders and fillers, and the tobacco blend is usually the same as other larger cigars as well.
Typically, a little cigar will have between five to twelve millimeters in diameter and between four and eighteen millimeters in length. Of course, there are always exceptions; shop carry special limited edition and rare little cigars which are obviously going to be a bit longer or thicker. Some connoisseur grade cigars can often exceed the eighteen millimeter length!
When it comes to smoking them. Generally, you can just light it and go, no need to use a humifer like you would with a traditional cigar. Little cigars also tend to burn longer than cigarettes, usually lasting between fifteen and twenty minutes, so you can really enjoy the smoke without having to worry about having to light up again just a few minutes.
The flavor of a little cigar depends greatly on the type of wrapper and tobacco blend. Some will have the classic, aged flavor of the traditional cigar smoker, while others can be surprisingly light and sweet. They’re also great when paired with drinks, so if you’re looking for an easy reach-around cigar for a casual cigar gathering, little cigars are perfect.
Lastly, the price of little cigars tend to be much cheaper than traditional cigars, so they’re great on a budget. They make an excellent gift and are often made available in bundles for special events or occasions.
In conclusion, little cigars are a great way to experience the cigar life without sacrificing too much time or money. They’re small and convenient, and great for a quick, easy and enjoyable smoke. If you’re ever in a pinch for a smoking session, give little cigars a try, you won’t be disappointed.
