Bigger is not always better. This is especially true when it comes to premium cigars. A big part of a cigar’s flavor comes from the wrapper. It follows, then, that if you select a smaller stogie with a tighter ring gauge, you can really get a feel for the flavor provided by the wrapper. We don’t always have 90 minutes or more to sit back and smoke a big cigar. Here are our favorite short smokes to enjoy on the daily commute, the evening walk with the dog, or when it is just too fucking cold outside to make a night of it.
