Popular Post Bijan Posted January 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think traditionally cigars 39RG and under were considered thin gauge. Right now in standard production that leaves the following: Cigar Name Vitola de Salida Factory Name Vitola de Galera Size Ring x mm Shape Common Name Image Relative Scale Cohiba - Global Brand Coronas Especiales 1967 Laguito No.2 38 x 152 (6″) Panetela Exquisitos 1989 Seoane 33 x 126 (5″) Small Panetela Lanceros 1964 Laguito No.1 38 x 192 (7½″) Long Panetela Panetelas 1967 Laguito No.3 26 x 115 (4½″) Small Panetela El Rey del Mundo - Other Brand Demi Tasse pre-1960 Entreactos 30 x 100 (3⅞″) Small Panetela Fonseca - Other Brand KDT Cadetes pre-1960 Cadetes 36 x 115 (4½″) Short Panetela H.

(And of course LGCMDO4 but good luck finding any). Haven't had enough Monte Especial and Especial No. 2 yet or Cohiba Exquisitos to say but those are probably great too. Personally not a fan of short filler, Monte Open or tubed small cigars though, so the Panetelas, Junior and Coronas Junior are out for me. What's everyone's favourites? 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StogieSteve23 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 In no particular order, CCE, MDO4, Monte Especial No2 and PLMC would my favorites. Wish there were more skinnies out there and I think many other people feel the same way. Far too many big RG sticks being produced nowadays IMO and that's probably a big fault of trying to cater to the US (and other) markets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JY0 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I thought I saw that the PL Panetella was discontinued? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CCW hasn't updated it yet. Edit: It's sometimes tough to tell what is and what isn't discontinued. Fonseca No. 1 is technically discontinued but still being produced. LGCMDON4 is technically in production but no one has seen any in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pharmacovigilant Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 Thank you Bijan for compiling this list! A great reference and a great topic.

Monte Esp2 are good too, but I really miss the 1's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 As a follow up to the two other posts on medium and heavy ring gauge cigars looking at the new releases in the skinnies only the Cohiba Exquisitos, Monte open junior and RyJ Julietas released in this category after the 1960s as new releases and only the Exquisitos as a real premium release. Sad days for skinny lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will make a comeback in the New Year. Here is a review of the Nov 2019 edition: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just raised the price slightly from a week or two ago so I don't know if that means they're selling out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Smoke Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Has the Boli No.3 officially been axed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's in that weird area where they axed it last year (2019), but some 2020 box codes have shown up. Time will tell if they're winding down with the remaining tobacco supply, or if it will be one of those oddities like the Fonseca No. 1 where it's officially discontinued but still made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benson Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Speaking of discontinued, anyone have a recent date on MDO4’s? Ive been sniffing around for them for a while but aside from the occasional Bond Roberts sighting I never see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
