I'll keep an eye out for the other ones mentioned here.

Not to highjack, But since we're talking about little cigars has anyone tried the "10 little indians" from Indian Tabac?

I think I ordered a tin of 10 little indians along with some other tins. Will review when I've smoked some.

I look forward to reading what you think Fitzsmoke and how they compare to the others.

FITZ...

I believe that YOU would be The Man to head up threads (if not a board) on the ITSY-BITSIES.

AGAIN... the short smoke seems to get short schrift... And you seem to have an interest from which we all might benefit!

(Okay... Okay... Opinions are like belly-buttons...)

I wouldn't mind doing a separate category on the little-ones if it weren't for my work schedule. I am away from home for four to six days at a stretch without the means or permission (at work) to talk tobacco. I will keep posting threads or replies on the subject if I have any revelations on the new lot that's on order. Probably take a week to get the latest batch of tins.
Meanwhile I have a nice little cluster of Brasilia Caricoas..yummm! If I run out of those the H. Upmanns will be the next to go. I will most likely pick up a tin of the Brasilias on the way out of town tomorrow.

"Nats" by Nat Sherman (go figure) are pretty good. very mild, very much like a full sized Nat in flavor, but very short. For something stronger, Cohiba has tins of 6 for about $12 I think.

I just got a 5'er box of Macanudo Vintage cabinet selection (1997) cigars (4.3 X 36). I don't know how they will smoke but, they should be a good short smoke (I hope). That verdamnt cbid

I'm baaaack!...Back from the salt mines and the itsey-bitsies have arrived...whoo-hoo! I did stop at Cascade Cigar on the way home and bought three biggies. I smoked a Gispert torpedo on the way home and was very pleased with it. I will post a review or ad to any existing one. Anyway, I have a box of tins to tackle and who knows I may even open one tonight...

I've been looking for a good short smoke. I have ordered a tin of the CAO Brazilia's because the Gol! is one of my go to cigars. Before I read a review of the CAO's however, I bought a tin of the Maria Guerrero Bonita's (4x3 I like the Maria Guerrero's as a mild smoke so thought the little ones would be good also. WRONG!!! Those little bastards are harsh and biting and plain nasty. I've tried smoking 3 of them, and have thrown all three of them out before I finished. I've put the other two in the humi to see if it helps. Long story longer, don't bother with the Bonitas, very disappointing.

Depends on where you buy them of course but I think they are in the $10 range for a tin. (Ascots)

I have tried one little indian...very big flavor for such a small cigar. Will write a review after I have tried a few more.
