flavoured little cigars

I have always been a fan of cigars – there’s something about the smell, the ritual of cutting and lighting, and the slow, contemplative enjoyment that comes with smoking a good cigar. However, as much as I love traditional cigars, I have recently discovered a new love for little cigars.

Little cigars, also known as cigarillos or cigarritos, are smaller versions of traditional cigars and have been gaining popularity in recent years. They are typically about three inches long with a smaller ring gauge, making them the perfect size for a quick smoke or for those who prefer a milder flavor.

One of the things that drew me to little cigars is the wide variety of flavors available. While traditional cigars usually have a more limited flavor profile, little cigars come in a plethora of flavors ranging from classic tobacco and menthol to fruity, sweet, and even dessert-like flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, and cherry. This makes them a great option for those who enjoy a little variety in their smoking experience.

But don’t let the flavors fool you – little cigars may be smaller in size, but they pack a lot of flavor. The intense, concentrated flavor of a little cigar is due to the use of high-quality, premium tobacco in its construction. Unlike cigarettes, little cigars are made with whole leaf tobacco and have a higher tobacco to paper ratio, resulting in a more satisfying and flavorful smoke.

One of the things that impressed me the most about little cigars is the craftsmanship that goes into their making. Just like traditional cigars, little cigars are hand-rolled by skilled artisans using a blend of premium tobaccos. This attention to detail and quality control is what sets little cigars apart from other tobacco products.

Another benefit of little cigars is their affordability. With traditional cigars, you often have to pay a premium for the bigger size and higher quality tobacco. Little cigars, on the other hand, are more budget-friendly, making them a great option for those who want to enjoy a good smoke without breaking the bank.

One thing that may deter people from trying little cigars is the misconception that they are just like cigarettes. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Little cigars are not meant to be inhaled – they are meant to be smoked like traditional cigars, where you draw the smoke into your mouth and savor the flavors before exhaling. In fact, little cigars have a higher tobacco content and can have an even higher nicotine content than cigarettes, so it’s important to smoke them in moderation.

In addition to the wide variety of flavors, little cigars also come in different shapes and sizes. While most are the traditional straight shape, some are shaped like cigarettes or have a tapered end, giving them a unique and stylish look. I personally enjoy trying out different shapes and sizes to switch up my smoking experience.

One of the things I love most about little cigars is their convenience. Unlike traditional cigars, which can take at least an hour to smoke, little cigars only take about 10-15 minutes. This makes them perfect for a quick break in between work, or for a smoke on the go. They also come in handy when you want a good smoke but don’t have the time to commit to a traditional cigar.

It’s also worth mentioning that little cigars are not just for experienced cigar smokers. They are a great option for beginners who want to dip their toes into the world of cigars. Their smaller size and milder flavors make them less intimidating for those who are new to the cigar scene.

However, as much as I love little cigars, I do have to mention a few downsides. One issue I have encountered with some little cigars is that they can have a slightly harsher and hotter smoke compared to traditional cigars. This is due to their smaller size and the fact that the tobacco is more concentrated. I have found that taking slower and shorter puffs can help alleviate this issue.

Another downside is the potential for little cigars to become addictive. While most little cigars have a lower nicotine content than cigarettes, they still contain a considerable amount and should be smoked in moderation. It can be tempting to smoke one after another due to their small size, but it’s important to remember that they are still tobacco products and should be consumed responsibly.

In conclusion, little cigars are a fantastic option for those who enjoy cigars but want something more convenient, affordable, and with a wider range of flavors. Their craftsmanship, quality tobacco, and variety of sizes and shapes make them a great addition to any cigar aficionado’s collection. Just remember to smoke them responsibly and savor every puff of their intense and satisfying flavors.
