Short Stories Reviews

With the Ban on Smoking in England and similar legislation already affecting millions of cigar lovers throughout the rest of Europe I felt it was time to review a selection of small cigars which can deliver an engaging albeit brief smoke.

The following Figurados, both just four inches in length, provide a contrasting variety of short smokes lasting approximately half an hour which underline the saying “ all good things come in small parcels “.

Cuaba Divinos, Cuba ( 4.00 inches / 101 mm x 43 ring gauge ) rrp £8.00

Reminiscent of the style of cigars produced at the turn of the century and launched just over a decade ago in the fall of 1996 the Divinos, like the rest of the Cuaba range is produced in the Romeo Y Julieta factory. Effortless combustion, due to its tapered shape, and woody, vegetal overtones underpin a gentle cigar with a discreet yet pleasing aroma. A popular and approachable cigar that does not require lengthy maturation.

Arturo Fuente Hemingway 'Short Story', Dominican Republic ( 4 inches / 101 mm x 48 ring gauge ) rrp £9.00

With a dark Maduro wrapper and unmistakable shape this pocket Perfecto masks a significant character and effect. It smokes like a much larger cigar, its flavour and aroma developing with every draw until it reaches a crescendo of flavour and aroma. Slow burning and pungent, the pleasing effect of its complexity belie its size. Recommended.
