little havana cigars

As I sit on my porch, watching the sunset and enjoying a glass of whiskey, I can’t help but reach for one of my favorite indulgences – a little cigar. These tiny but mighty sticks of tobacco have become a staple in my leisurely evenings, providing a perfect balance of flavor and relaxation. In this article, I want to delve into the world of little cigars and share my personal experience with these often underrated products.

First and foremost, let’s clarify what exactly a little cigar is. They are not the same as regular cigarettes, as they are made with a whole leaf wrapper and typically have a filter on the end. Little cigars are also bigger and thicker than cigarettes, with a diameter of around 6mm. They may look like cigars, but they are not as strong and are usually smoked in a shorter amount of time.

One of the main reasons I enjoy little cigars is because of their variety of flavors. While traditional cigars often have more subtle and natural tastes, little cigars come in a wide range of flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, cherry, and even mocha. This adds an extra layer of enjoyment as I get to choose from different flavors depending on my mood. Some brands also offer limited edition or seasonal flavors, making the experience even more exciting.

Another advantage of little cigars is their convenience. Unlike regular cigars, which may take up to an hour to smoke, little cigars can be smoked in a shorter time frame, making them perfect for a quick and satisfying break. I often bring a pack of little cigars with me when I travel, as they are compact and easy to carry around. They also don’t require a cigar cutter like traditional cigars do, making them extremely hassle-free.

In terms of cost, little cigars are much more affordable than traditional cigars. While some may argue that they are not as high-quality as premium cigars, I find that they still provide a satisfying smoking experience without breaking the bank. Plus, with the variety of flavors available, I can mix and match depending on my budget without compromising on taste.

Now, let’s talk about the actual smoking experience. When it comes to little cigars, I usually start by examining the wrapper. A good quality cigar will have a smooth and evenly-colored wrapper with little to no veins visible. I then take a whiff of the cigar and let the aroma awaken my senses. Finally, I cut the filter with my fingers or teeth and light it up.

One thing I’ve noticed with little cigars is that their flavors are not as intense as traditional cigars. However, this does not take away from the experience as they still provide a smooth and satisfying smoke. I especially enjoy the transition from the first third to the second third of the cigar, where the flavors become more distinct and robust. The last third can sometimes be a bit harsh, but this can easily be avoided by taking slower and shallower puffs.

One question that often comes up in discussions about little cigars is their health effects. As a smoker myself, I am well aware of the dangers of smoking and do not endorse it in any way. However, I do believe in moderation and enjoy a cigar or two every now and then. In my opinion, little cigars are not any more harmful than regular cigars or cigarettes as they are all made with tobacco and contain nicotine. It is up to individuals to make responsible choices and consume these products in moderation.

In terms of the social aspect, I always find that little cigars spark conversations and bring people together. They are the perfect addition to a social gathering, whether it’s a barbecue with friends or a night out at a cigar bar. The compact size of little cigars also makes them easier to share, compared to traditional cigars which can be quite massive and may require a cutting tool.

In conclusion, little cigars may not be as popular or highly-regarded as traditional cigars, but they certainly have their own unique charm. From the wide variety of flavors and their convenience to their affordability and enjoyable smoking experience, little cigars have become a beloved part of my leisurely evenings. However, I do recommend consuming them responsibly and in moderation. So, the next time you’re looking to unwind and indulge in a smoke, why not give little cigars a try? You may just be pleasantly surprised.
