Many times when I am running errands around town, or driving to school I really wish I could have a smoke, but taking along anything that I have in my stash would be foolish since I would not even get to smoke a quarter of it before I had to put it down. I have been looking for a GOOD cigarillo, however every one of them that I try leaves a bad taste in my mouth, literally. I have tried three different types of Gurkha cigarillos and they all have the same bitter, off putting taste. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good cigarillo?
My Cigarillo despair

I have tried without luck to find a good cigarillo. The cuchillos cubanos 32 is the best I have found, but still leaves a bad taste in your mouth quite often. I have some sitting for a while longer. They seemed wet when I got them, but I'm not expecting big changes after aging.
The other Cuchillos Cubanos vitolas are very good. Not as small or as cheap, however.
I doubt there is a cigarillo out there that the majority of us would call good.

It's not a cigarillo, but the Illusione 68 is a damn fine smoke coming in at ~$5/stick and smokes in ~45 mins.
Personally, I would go with that, but if you're looking for something a little bit quicker of a stick, maybe the Petit Tatuaje or Cuchillos Cubanos like PB said?

I have some of the Rocky Patel Sun Grown, CAO gold cigarillos.. and a couple of the RP1990 little figurados. They are all good, I smoke at work so I have all the time in the world it seems. If you want these send addy I'll get them out to you, there just going to sit around in my humi forever.
Padron Corticos are my go to pick for a quick smoke.

Fuente Cubanitos or Exquisitos are a pretty good 15 min smoke. Both are 4.25" x 32 and run $2 or less.
You might also consider a pipe. You can use small amounts for those quick trips. Pipe tobacco is very different from cigars though.

Gotta try these, haven't had them yet.

I'm with ctaylor on the CAO Gold ones, and Rocky Patel's in a tin. I really enjoyed both of those. Also, the A.Fuente's in a tin are nice, too! I haven't had any cigarillos in forever. I've always wanted to try the Padron coticos, but have never found them in a shop.
You just handin' some out, ctaylor??? :grin:
JK!!!

If you really need something as small as a cigarillo, here are my faves:
601 Red "rabbito" (tastes like a big cigar, no joke! They come in boxes of 100, though ... I'll be looking to split one this winter probably.)
CAO Brazillia (5-er tin)
CAO MX2 "Dagger" (5-er tin)
CAO Italia (5-er tin)
5 Vegas Shorty Torpedo
The petite Tatuaje and petite Cabaiguan are great, but expensive.
I didn't know the Illusione Cuchillos Cubanos came in a 32 ring, but you've GOT to get that one, those sticks rock! In fact, I'll be getting some myself!
