Need help deciding on a lunchtime smoke...

[USNStoops]

BOTL I need your assistance. A 45 minute to hour and half window has opened up in my schedule most days of the week and I would like to enjoy a cigar in the down time after chow. I purchased the Brazilia Cariocas earlier but smoked too many to make them economically advantageous so I am looking to take a step up in size. With the money that I have saved in Christmas funds I have narrowed it down to these three choices: Hemingway Short Story, Brazilia Piranha or Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles. I would like to buy a box to keep the expense low but having always smoked big cigars I am not familiar with the burn times on these sizes. I know burn times will vary based on the people smoking but does anyone out there have a preference on which one they would smoke mid day with not a lot of time to kill. Thank-you in advance.

the tat would be my choice and would fit the time frame you are looking for

SS or Angeles you can not go wong with.

 

[Moro]

PLPC! But if that's not an option, Short Stories or Angeles. Get both and rotate!

 

[theribdoctor]

the short story is about 1/2 an hour...get 2 and you will be happy.

 

[Wayne80]

I agree, either the short story or the angeles should fit in that time frame. Enjoy!

I love the Short Story, one of my favorites! 30-40mins. To be fair though, I don't believe I've had either of the other two.

 

[jwintosh]

love the short story! love the angeles! love the victoria even more! and the many many wonderful pc's out there... tell you what i'm gonna do....

If you like lighter smokes - short story

If you like heavier, delicious, strong, satisfying cigars, go with the Angeles.:eyebrow:

Ditto on the Angeles. I haven't had the Hemingway or Piranha, but the Angeles should be a 45 - 50 minute smoke (I seem to take twice as long to smoke as most people, and it takes me about an hour and a half to get through it).

 

[BrooksW]

Short Story, hands down.

SS or Tat. Can't go wrong with either one.

 

[Alwayslit]

Short story or
Angeles.....both good.

I would say short stories as well...
I have been smoking Tatuaje & DPG brands at about 80% of the time for the past year, its always what I was craving...

However, I smoked a short story about a week or so ago I had sitting in the humidor for about 1.5 years, it was remarkably complex and delicate the flavors were so great.

I really enjoy the robust flavors of Petes blends, but sometimes you want a pinot noir and not a merlot!

Hmmm well heck.... Get both...

I guess the general consensus is, like all cigar purchases, why limit yourself to one when they are all good. I guess that's what I will do.

SS takes me over an hour. Love em.

I think that's the best solution
