I'm just finishing my first one of these right now. This is a great smoke that I hope to buy often.

[...] From the very beginning you can tell this is the sort of cigar that has an incredible amount of flavor with very little strength. I encountered tastes of cocoa, nuts, and cream with a long, spicy finish. No harshness to be found.

Patrick A – many thanks for the link on the short cigars. Feel free to update. I'm a big fan of the 5 Vegas Serie A nugget.

CWS -- I wrote a feature on short cigars in general last December. Check it out here. The idea was to provide a list of my favorite little cigars that won't keep you out in the cold too long. Maybe I should update that list this winter...

Now that winter is approaching, maybe you can do a feature on petit coronas – a top five list or something like that.

I live in Philadelphia and smoking in the cold isn't fun – I have the H. Upman petit corona and the some of the 5 Vegas (various blends) nuggets.
