jwr0201 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I plan to become more familiar with these sizes. Currently am looking for recommendations from brothers with more experience here... List your preferred small/ short marcas. Some that come to mind are RG Perlas, Party Shorts, Trini Reyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RijkdeGooier Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Monte 5 P Short RASCC Are usually good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 San Cristobal de La Habana El Principe Partagas Shorts Montecristo No.5 Trinidad Reyes These are the ones I've gone to recently, specifically the El Principes. (The Trinidad Reyes are the next marca I want to sample at the moment) However, you can't go wrong trying a Cohiba Siglo I or Ramon Allones Small Club Corona either. It all depends on your (taste/flavour) preference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSXCIGAR Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I can't really think of a lousy Minuto or Perla. As a vitola they seem to be one of the most reliable. Can't go wrong with any of them. If anything I don't like them because they're too darn short, especially the Monte 5. I wish every Monte 5 was at least a Monte 4 when I get to the end! I am partial to the BCJ, El Principe and RASCC, however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Trini Reyes are a personal favorite, offering some of the best flavors to be found in any cigar anywhere! Not even comparable to the others listed. Still, I simply love RG PC, but think the Perlas are rather meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Still, you're going to have to try most (if not all) of these in this size range. You'll never know what you're missing! That would be a shame, especially when considering how good the Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas are. If price/value is lesss of a concern, the smaller Cohiba are a nice change of pace, as well.

I was wrong. It was marzipan. I was surprised as heck to get that taste. Not sure if I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanishcedar Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The San Cristóbal El principe is a good smoke, which might leave me with the option of lighting another up, or sometimes that's all I want. It has a molasses type flavor and a darker burn for me. The Trinidad Reyes on the other hand feels more refined and always leaves me wanting to light another up, I have a box of Coloniales that I have yet to try... hoping that it won't leave me hanging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasty from start to finish, and marzipan goes really well with strong white unsweetened coffee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela3rd Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Monte 5 and RG Perlas all day long. Well, for a short section of the day at least. Both are excellent IMHO and are regular smokes. Party Shorts are rather good too. I rattled through a box (16) of the Vegueros Manianitas last year and was quite impressed - pleasant, mild flavours and I liked the petit belicoso shape.Thunder & Lightening '75-'15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc1016 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 BCJ are great ROTT, especially the tightly rolled ones; trini reyes are great when they’re on - like a salted german pretzel; rg perlas are awesome when they’ve had *plenty* of time to rest.

Ender1553 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I have to echo the Monte #5s... not my usual, but ordered a box on a lark and it blew me away. Wish ordered 4. Great with a cup of coffee/espresso Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayman17 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Smoking a Trinidad Reyes right now that I bought to smoke on vacation but never got to it. Delicious cigar that started off sweet (graham cracker) and is finishing woody with a touch of citrus zest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canoli Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Interesting in the Monte 5s might need to grab a box to try. I am a fan of Monte medio corona. It’s a fantastic quickie. Worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
