An interesting idea, but very Nub-like in size. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Had one at my local B&M brick house event over the weekend, nothing special. Coming from a guy who isnt the biggest fan of the line, but enjoys the very occasional NUB.

Honestly since I work in a cigar shop I cannot fall more in love with cigar makers who are looking to give full cigar experience to those who might just want a quick smoke. I will probably be doomed to being flamed for saying this, but the Villiger maduro machine made exports are a great smoke for the 20 minute time range. Often times I have customers who are looking for smaller quicker smokes for the times when its cold, or they don't have time to light up their favorite cigar. Recently I lit up a room 101 limited in the smaller size for the drive home, about 30 minutes and could not belive how amazing that cigar smoked and honestly gave me a great experience from when I first started my car till I pulled into the driveway.
The quick smoke market is there, be it non "traditional" and looked upon as taking away from what the experience us cigar people are after, finding a drive home smoke which I can light and be done in the time I drive is pleasing to me. The Waffe size has done wonders for the Java line, perfect time for a cup of coffee in the morning on the back deck according to my customers, again..filling a need and void in the market.

I'm all for a quick smoke, but the size confuses me as well. Seems like it would be much longer than 20 minutes. I wish more manufacturers made their smokes in the 4.5 x 40 size.
This^^
Just plain dumb. If you don't have time for at least a petite corona don't bother. The "quick smoke" to me is not much better than a cigarette.

As fragmented as many people's free time is these days I can see how short smokes have their place. As for being not much better than cigarettes...as a former cigarette smoker I can honestly say if I had something in the 4 x 40 size, I'd have much rather smoked that back in the day. Much more flavorful and enjoyable. The problem with something that size or even a little smaller is that it's hard to stuff as much tobacco in there to make it as complex as larger sizes. There's also not a whole lot of time for the cigar to develop as with say a Churchill.
