Cigarillos thread

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm positive there has never been a thread about cigarillos. Sure, I know they aren't 'real' cigars, and some of them even have sweet tips, but I love 'em and don't usually have time to smoke a full cigar when I'm smoking.

So far my favorites are Al Capone Cognac Sweets but the rum tipped are great too. I tried some Romeo & Juliets and they were alright, not my thing. On the cheap will smoke Swisher Sweets Little Cigars as they generally come in a 2 for 1 for like $2.69 but they aren't my favorite. Also they are filtered so they don't leave my breath smelling like a horse's ass lol.

Anyone else, or am I completely alone on Talkbass? in this regard?

to be honest I don't undrstand the point I used to smoke em every now and then until I realized I could just eat a chocolate bar or candy and get the same sort of taste.

There is only one thing I will bear to smoke anymore and tobacco disgusts me.

I like to keep a pack of cigarillos around--I usually do swisher sweets but I also buy whatever is on sale too--I like captain blacks best personally

Try Drew Estates "Waife" They have a great flavor and are small enough to enjoy in less than a half hour. They'e also pressed flat for an interesting look

I also like the little Punch cigars that come in the tin. They taste like a regular, big cigar but are great when you don't have much time.

FL KM, I love Waife cigars, though they are incredibly fragile little suckers!
Never tried a Clubmaster but would like to.

Anyone tried Dutch Master Vanilla Cigarillos?

The Swisher Sweets factory is just downtown. I pass there every day on my way to school.

Not surprisingly, Swisher Sweets are a lot cheaper than its competition at the ghetto corner store around my school.

I have a friend that's an airline "STEWARD". He brings back small flavored cigars from Puerto Rico and the other Islands. I forgot the brand but they are the best I've ever had. I'll ask him to get me more and I'll post the name. They're not Cuban but they're available in the US either. They are scotch, brandy and a few other liquor flavors.

I don't like flavored tobaccos, but sometimes a french friend brings me some cigarillos rolled from erm..island tobacco, that I like a lot. They're nice when I don't have time for a cigar, or pipe.

I never went back to cowboy killers after getting on the wagon but during my end of life crisis I was able to justify daily Cigarillos inhalation while maintaing my on the wagon status. Addiction can justify just about any insanity.

Yeah, at that rate, might as well just smoke cigarettes because a single cigarillo inhalation is much much worse. But hey!
