Partagas Short and Aristocrat

[TommyZ]

looking to see if anyone has had both of them and if so can you tell me which is better? I had an Aristocrat the other day and really enjoyed it. They are pretty cheap, but am looking to see if the Short is worth the extra couple bucks? Would love some help on these two sticks.
I'm looking to spend about $130 tops on a box. Am pondering the idea of buying a couple singles of these to try out some more. If someone has any other recommendations on a smaller cc that's in this price range please let me know.

Go with the shorts.... though going for the shorter smokes you may appreciate the h. upmann half corona

Ive had the HUHC and honestly enjoyed the Partagas Aristocrat from what I can remember. Might be wise to buy a couple 5ers of each first to know exactly what I like.

Thanks for your input!

Never had an Aristocrat. Short is a great stick. If you're set on Partagas, try the Mille Fleurs; bold taste, in your price range, mellows nice with age.

I'll have to check those out too! Thank you

Second the Mille Fleurs to the short. It's just a touch longer which I can appreciate. Similar if not the same flavor profile to my palet.

how long of a time frame would the short be?

That depends on you. I've smoked the short from 30-45 minutes.

Don't rule out the RA Small Club Corona, the RG Perlas, the Bolivar Corona JR or the San Cristobal El Principe.

Personally, I'd take the Shorts over the Aristocrats or Mille Fleurs in a heartbeat, but to each him own. That's what makes cigar smokng great.

Shorts in 50ct cabs. I buy at least a cab every year. But then again I now have 7 boxes of Mille fluers total.

I would take Mille Fleurs over most sticks but like you said, we are all different.

This from a man who has never kept a cigar for more than a month..........

Okay, so you got me there... J Fire said so, though.

I do age my NCs. I never even open that drawer.
