Popular Post NeedlessKane Posted February 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hey everyone! I’m a relatively new smoker and have been enjoying the smaller 20-40 minute smokes My go to for a while was Monte 5, but end of last year I got a box of H Uppman Half Coronas on a 24:24 and wow, super great! What else would everyone recommend in this similar size and format? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else would everyone recommend in this similar size and format? Montecristo Media Corona is exact same format. Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales is a little fatter and a little longer but also basically the same. Edit: Also Vegueros Mananitas as a small Pyramid (I've never had one), and Partagas Serie D No. 6 as a small Petit Robusto, same length but fatter, more $$$. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuroDiario Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Vegueros mañanitas are a great value bet. Have enjoyed them quite a lot especially at the price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper99 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Next time I see a full box available I will be buying. Want to give them a try, have read nothing but good about them for the price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The Monte MC is definitely worth a try. It's quite a bit mellower than the Monte 5. The RyJ Petit Royales, when good, it excellent. It's a bit more robust than the HUHC. And while it's a bit larger in RG than the "half corona" category, the Partagas D6 is also usually very good, although I'm not a fan of the format. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Definitely Monte MC. One of my favourite sub-1hr smokes, right behind the HUHC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Few years ago I preferred the HUHC but I definitely prefer the Monty Media Corona for the last while. Give it a try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuns Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I’ll second the D6 (and 3rd it - it’s great and timely) and add the HdM de Depute to the convo, although it’s a little longer and skinner than the HUHC. Similar smoke time, though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason55555 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Since the start of winter I've discovered the Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto, these have been smoking great - Cream, Cedar, Toasty Sweetness, Coffee notes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mprach024 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Maybe it’s time I give the HCs another try. Lots sing their praises here. Gave them multiple tries after the PCs went out to pasture and they did nothing for me. I love Upmann and I’d happily be wrong about the HC’s uninteresting profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't count myself as a fan. They're high quality, just not my cup of tea. Blend just doesn't hit me right. I find the same thing with a few other very popular cigars like the Party Shorts, Hoyo Epi 1/2, Dip 2. Every cigar is worth a revisit, but you're not crazy if you don't like them.

gojira Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I like the HU Half Corona quite a bit. I always take a few with me when I visit Germany in the winter as there is no inside smoking in my mom's or my brother's homes. Another short smoke that I tend to smoke there is the Boli Coronas Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meklown Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 A bit larger but I find monte petit Edmundos the pick of the the bunch compared to it's smaller brethren. Tons of chocolate and cream throughout the hour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter19 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Scdlh- El Principe are a nice alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tstew75 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I hate these have been DQ'd. I recently got a couple boxes of 20s & they're glorious...will be looking for more b4 they disappear. Worthy small-ish replacements: BCJ SCLH Principe PSD6 Trini Reyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Surprised no one mentioned Rafael Gonzalez Perlas. Best value in the perla format (since op liked Monte 5). 3 hours ago, Tstew75 said: I hate these have been DQ'd.
