So a part of my last CBID order was a couple of Don Pepin Garcia Black Cuban Classic 1952's.  They are a PETITE Corona.  I guess I didn't realize just how small that was.  

I know that smoking a small cigar is a different beast but I can't say that I know all of the secrets so would someone like to enlighten me on how to smoke these to get the best flavor.  I know that size isn't suppose to fool you into smoking them too fast because they will tar up but I didn't know if there were any more secrets.

Hopefully they are nice little enjoyable smokes.  At $2 a stick o CBID they might be my new go to while grilling.  The good news is that they don't take up much room in the humidor

Your cigars are 4.25 X 40.



My "quick smoke" cigar is a Rocky Patel Junior (4 X 38).




They're small, so you just don't get the fullness of flavor. I choose one when I know I have little time to smoke (winter time, a quick pit stop, etc). To maximize the taste, just don't puff like crazy; a slow burn is always best with ANY cigar.




Maybe consider a short robusto, like Indian Tabac (4 1/2 X 50); good but not too pricey.

For a quick smoke it is tough to beat the A. Fuente Hemingway Short Story....

I am a big fan of the 601 red Guapito's also....

I've been wanting to try some of those, I'm a fan of the DPGCC.

My short smoke right now is the Camacho Machito, 4x30.  Love them.

I tried one last night.  Great cigar for what it is.  I bought it for $2 on CBID, construction was great, burn was consistent (as it should be with a small cigar I guess) and it was full of flavor for such a small stick.  It has a very peppery/spicy flavor which is what I like.  I want to pick up a five pack of them and maybe try some of their big brothers.
