Thanks.
The LVH "Leather Patch" series comes in a very small size (I have a few if you would like to try them).

I REALLY recommend the 601 Red "Guapito," it's really tiny but has big flavor! The CAOs that come in tins are great too (Maduro and Cameroon are tiny cigarillos, the Brazilia/Italia/MX2 are a little bigger).

I agree on the DPG Firecrackers, Oliva Special G (had one last night).

Thanks NJ for the offer but I prefer the Early Years and was not very fond of the "Leather Patch". I wish Drew would release some more Silencios as I would definitely stock up for the winter but it doesn't seem likely. I will probably seek out the Oliva Special G as I have had other Oliva's and have liked them.

Thanks all for the input and after the holidays will probably hit a b&m and buy some of the cigars suggested and give them a try.

Arturo Fuente short story is my strong recommendation. Maybe Cohiba minis.

The Arturo Fuente Exquisitos are also a short smoke I enjoy.
