The Perfect Fit

[stroke]

So I normally will put a dip in or smoke the pipe on the way to work because my commute is about 35 minutes, which is not long enough for most cigars I have and I would waste most of it. Well, in the morning I wake up around 3:30, get a shower and a cup of coffee and sit around for about 20 minutes getting the sleep out of my eyes. I then go outside and hang out with my dog for about 15-20 minutes before I head to work. Today I fired up a Tatuaje Noella before I went out to hang with the pooch. I stopped by the pharmacy on my way to work to drop of an Rx, but that only added about 5 minutes to the commute. When I was pulling up to work, the cigar was beginning to burn my finger tips. Perfect timing!

So, I know it's a 5/42 cigar, but I am thinking about investing in some coronas for the morning commute, because it was much better with a fine cigar! I prefer the thinner RGs, but I normally prefer a 6" cigar. But, for the commute, I think a corona will fit the bill perfect!

petite coronas sound perfect for your commute so should the firecrackers and short story.

I've got some RP Junior Maddies that are about 1-2 years old that have gotten better with age. I have lit one up before work and it's fit great. Short ok smoke. These are one of the only RPs that I still consider buying. On auction, about $1 a stick.

Another good one is the Illusione MK Teaching Machine. Great little smoke, around 30 minutes or so.

Don't forget about the petit Tatuaje. One of the best little cigars I've had in a while. About $3 a stick.

Another idea for you, if I may....

Try a J Fuego Original. It's a neat little stick with a great story behind it. It was conceived from the method of testing the blend of a cigar while in production by wrapping the blend in a wraper leaf to smoke...Really cool!

Sorry fo the long post, but I could not find the website that this story came from , so I am pasting it here:

"Jesus explained that the Originals cigar was based on a technique that he, his father, grandfather and everyone else in his family has used since they were in (and even before) the tobacco business. When it was time to test a blend or leaf or any new component they would grab a raw natural leaf and place tobacco in the middle, as this is the only area of the leaf that would actually hold tobacco, and roll it up. It would create a smoke that was fat in the middle and very thin on both ends. After pinching off the excess ends they would then smoke and evaluate the combination before sending it off to the rollers for the initial test run. Jesus explained it created quite the “ugly little stick” but it got the job done.

Now fast-forward to the end of 2009 and Mr. Fuego has just gotten back from a trip to the farm. Unable to sleep due to the jet-lag he called up a friend in the cigar industry to have breakfast. Forgetting to bring any cigars with him Jesus, being the kind gracious host that he is, was embarrassed he didn’t have a smoke to offer his friend. However he remembered that he still had some of his Origin “ugly sticks” in his shirt pocket he had rolled to test the consistency of his tobacco from previous releases. Hesitantly pulling it out Mr. Fuego apologized for not being prepared and offered it away.

Upon smoking this oddly shaped, smaller, yet very tasty cigar his friend posed the ultimate question of why Fuego just didn’t release this stick as the next size in the Origin line. After all in his mind he thought this was just an absolutely amazing creation (you will find out why once you smoke these) and people would actually enjoy smoking a sort-of raw, undoctored cigar.

Perhaps this is an appropriate time to say “and the rest was history”.

Thanks for adding another cigar to the "must try" list!
