I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with smastard.

Urbi, for the AF, you ever get the short story? Any good, if so?

urbino

I think I've had that one, but it's been too long ago for me to announce a judgment. The ones I know well are the Sig, Classic, and Masterpiece. Lotsa people love the Shorty, though, so I think you'd be safe.

I've definitely noticed that size matters. It affects the flavor as well as the burn easiness, and therefore my enjoyment.

Your time frames are pretty close to where mine fall on the sizes you mentioned kuzi. I don't know if it should be considered "smoking slow" or rather savoring and enjoying the experience...which is done best if one takes their time I think.

I don't get to smoke with anybody much anymore, but I'm the same way. I think good cigars are like good liquor: they're social lubrication (easy, fellas).

I really don't know why one would want to smoke a cigar quickly, they have cigs for that.

Spend a lot of time in Holland, do you?

I like to take about an 1-1 1/2 to smoke a cigar. I find that the robustos and that torpedos are the best for me,. Although I would love to try those nubs. there's supposed to be a compact smoke, full of flavor. they must have a tight draw...

I like the Habano and Cameroon varieties. I'll give them a try.

I think that size and guage make a difference. When I find a blend I like I try different sizes until I find the combination that really dials it in. Now, that doesn't mean I won't occasionally smoke the other sizes of that blend of course. :-)
