mikinva Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have seen very low priced Cohiba and Trinidad Shorts, $1.35! I normally shy away from machine made, but at that price, I was wondering if they were any good? How do they compare to other C&Cs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I've been close to ordering mixed filler JLP or Quinteros but haven't pulled the trigger... I do have a have a tiny Cohiba cigarillo / machine made but it reminds me of a cigarette so I have a mental block against trying it.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 @mikinva the Cohiba ones are very well received. I don't like the length, too short. But generally I find the machine made cigarillos Shorts, Puritos, Clubs, Minis better than the handmade short filler cigars JLP, Quinteros, etc. @SpecialK price is good on the short filler handmade cigars, but I don't get anywhere near the flavours of the long filler cigars. Oddly I've had better experience with those cigarillos. Edit: It may be because there's so much less filler tobacco in the smaller RG cigarillos. Edit 2: The machine made cigars are generally very poorly received, Guantanamera, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these are so inexpensive they are worth sampling to see what works for you. The Cohiba and Trini Shorts and the Partagas Chicos have their place in my rotation--when I have just a short period of time available and don't want to waste it on a larger smoke. The Quinteros (hand made mixed filler) are generally better than the JLP imho--when they are on they smoke way above their pay grade, and when they are off you remember why you paid so little for them. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If you were going to try them I would buy that Cohiba Humidor with 50 Shorts in it at the sale price of $105 US. Most the stock I see for Cohiba shorts is 100ct at $210 plus. If you don't like them you always have that cool little humidor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smbauerllc Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Will be ordering some Montecristo Puritos, Partagas Chicos, and RyJ Puritos with my order tomorrow. I like the longer length and slightly bigger rg of these 3 than the Cohibas and Trinidads, but have heard good things about all of them.For as cheap as they are I figure they are worth trying out Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough I found the taste and construction better on the Clubs (very skinny) and Minis (way too short and even skinnier) though. Haven't had one of those in ages, but have a desktop humidor half full of Monte Puritos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva Vegas Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I am looking for some Belinda cigars, but no one has them in stock. I have a few left from my last trip to Cuba. I love them , I pick up some nice sweet tabacco and roasted nuts in every stick. If you have a chance to get some , buy a box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be pretty well liked or made in very limited quantities Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva Vegas Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I dont think either, i think they dont export them much if at all. Machine made not hand made less demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice taste, and no issues with burn,draw or construction. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
