Short Filler Cigar Selection

Too often today, you have to tailor your cigar smoking to a time and place – both limited. This is when a short slender cigar is the most satisfying. Here are three quality cigars that fit into a short time – without any diminution of flavour or enjoyment. Compare the Candlelight Havana blend with the Cuban Puritos, can you taste the Cuban flavour in the Candlelight?
Compare both with the unique flavour of the leaf from Brazil ?
All three are perfect sizes for a 15-20 minute smoke.
Watchpoint:  Relax and draw gently, so that you won’t destroy the fine flavour.

Machine-made, short filler cigar from Cuba:

Montecristo Purito (108mm x Ring 26 = diameter 10,3mm)
Montecristo is one of the top premium brands from Cuba; its distinctive medium to full flavour forms for many Cuban cigar smokers the benchmark against which other brands are judged. Its unique tangy flavour is partly created by storing ligero leaves for filler in a special type of cedar wood boxes,
Machine rolled, the Puritos usually offer more flavour than other non-Cuban cigars of the same size as they are made from the same Cuban tobacco leaves as the larger hand rolled Havanas, leaf grown in the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. An excellent way to enjoy the rich mellow notes of Cuban tobacco in a short time.   Puritos can last from 15-25 minutes – 25 minutes will give you the coolest smoke with the smoothest flavour.

Two short filler cigars from Europe:
The short-cut filler leaf allows the natural aromatic oils to spread and blend, creating a light, easy-burning cigar.

Candlelight Senoritas   (95mm x Ring 30 = Diameter 12mm)
Made in Germany, these are inexpensive, cello-wrapped, easy-to-smoke cheroots, cut ready to smoke. Slightly thicker and shorter than the Romeo y Julieta, these two Senoritas will offer a satisfying amount of smoke with an easy draw. We offer 2 flavours to compare.

Senoritas Havana
It has a natural wrapper, homogenised binder and is fully machine-made for consistency. This cigar has a short cut Havana leaf filler, and a natural Sumatra wrapper. One can experience the taste of Havana leaf – at a reasonable price.
Very good cigar for less serious smokers.

Senoritas Brazil
Leaf from Brazil is  naturally dark leaf from the north east coast. It has a full earthy flavour and a slight sweetness. The filler consists of tobacco from Brazil and Indonesia with the dark Brazil wrapper. This dark, smooth leaf offers another beautiful rich small cigar at the less expensive end of the price scale.
This is a full bodied, slow burning small cigar – with far more flavour than its size suggests.
