How We Choose Our 15-Minute Smokes
At Havana House, we celebrate the incredible craft and tradition that goes into making some of the finest cigars in the world. A quality cigar can be an escape from the hustle of our modern world and a chance to appreciate the finer things that make life worth living.
However, even the best cigar makers know that time is precious these days. While we’d all love to have an hour spare every evening to enjoy a fine Cuban cigar, life often gets in the way. That doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the taste of premium cigars, though.
Many of the best cigar brands create vitolas specifically designed to deliver the same great cigar experience in a shorter smoke. Some, like demi-tasse and cigarillos, are of a similar length to regular cigars but with an especially small ring gauge. Others come with a large ring gauge but a shorter length.
These different shapes can influence the amount and variations of tobacco being used, but a constant in all is a continued appreciation for the craft. The best short smokes are hand rolled with long filler, just like the larger vitolas, with masterful rollers bringing the same complexity and burn quality to these shorter sticks.
The Best Short Smoke Cigars for Every Occasion
As with the wider world of luxury cigars, you’re never stuck for choice when it comes to a shorter smoke.
Some cigar aficionados love having a short cigar with their morning coffee. Lighter, mild-bodied cigars, like a classic Davidoff, can offer a wonderful creamy taste that’s perfect for an early morning or lunchtime break. Alternatively, you can check out some of the medium and full-bodied short cigars, filled with strong, complex flavours to light up any evening.
These short smokes can also be a great way to try something new. Experiment with strengths and brands you’ve never tried before to expand your palate and potentially discover a new lifelong favourite.
