Long-lasting cigars should be smoked when you have the time to sit back, relax and just indulge with a drink in your other hand. If you still want to enjoy a beautiful smoke but are busy or on the move, cigars that offer a shorter smoking experience are a perfect choice.
After all, for executives who are constantly on the go, be it to meetings or lunches (or even just after closing a deal with a client), taking the time to enjoy a cigar is truly one of life’s greatest pleasures.
Less than 20 Minutes
At
James J. Fox, we have several cigars that are perfect for those occasions where you don’t have a lot of time but still want to enjoy the beautifully complex flavours that a cigar offers. Below, you can find a selection of gorgeous smokes that can be enjoyed in
less than 20 minutes (which is by no means a comprehensive list):
- Montecristo Media Corona – with a mild body, this Montecristo cigar is lighter than most of the brand’s range. Bursting with flavour and with earthy notes, although with less pepper and spice than usual, this is a subtle smoke that adds a touch of leather and coffee as you approach its finish.
- H Upmann Half Corona – the shortest cigar in the current Havana portfolio, this little cigar shouldn’t be underestimated. The leathery and earthy notes are a beautiful touch to a smoke that burns and draws wonderfully. If you are looking for a quick smoke, this is a fantastic choice.
- Romeo Y Julieta Petit Julieta – a cigar that offers an incredible range of flavours and is ideal to accompany a quick drink. If you don’t have the time to enjoy something larger as you are on the move, the Petit Julieta is a great way to enjoy lots of flavour in less than 20 minutes.
From 20 to 30 Minutes
If you would prefer a cigar that will last slightly longer, we also offer smokes that will give you a great smoking experience in
less than half an hour. Some of these cigars include:
- Bolivar Coronas Junior – perfect for those seeking complexity and flavour in a small cigar – and ideal to enjoy after lunch or with coffee. The Bolivar Coronas Junior offers peppery notes that, despite the full-bodied strength of the cigar, don’t overwhelm the other spicy, earthy and leathery notes.
- Por Larranaga Montecarlo – a mild, consistent and beautifully-presented smoke. As a brand, Por Larranaga offers distinct aromas you will enjoy from beginning to end, and this smoke is no different.
- Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robustos – another mild cigar that is the right choice for anyone seeking a quick and cool smoke. With leathery notes to enjoy in its complex profile, the toasty finish will be the perfect end to such a popular choice.
From 30 to 40 Minutes
We understand that sometimes you want something a little more than just 20 or 30 minutes when it comes to a fine cigar – even if you’re strapped for time. We’ve chosen a few smokes that will give you a great smoking experience that will last anything
between 30 to 40 minutes:
- Oliva Serie G Maduro Robusto – this cigar has a medium body and plenty of flavour. You can find dark chocolate, spicy and earthy notes throughout, while the second half of the cigar is toastier. A well-balanced and slightly sweet smoke that any aficionado will, no doubt, enjoy.
- Drew Estate Liga Privada Unico Dirty Rat – a stronger smoke for when you want a bit more ‘punch’. Despite the size of this smoke, you can expect gorgeous peppery flavours from start to finish.
- Cohiba Maduro 5 Magico – sweet and strong, this cigar will stun you with a beautiful complexity that will make it difficult to put down. With coffee and spice notes, you won’t regret opting for the Cohiba Maduro 5 Magico!
From 40 to 60 Minutes
If you have
between 40 minutes and an hour to enjoy a smoke, the following cigars are wonderful choices for any occasion:
- Undercrown Shade Belicoso – with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and a Sumatran binder, as well as a Dominican Criollo 98 and Nicaraguan Criollo & Corojo fillers, this cigar is beautifully consistent and bursting with gorgeous flavours.
- Ashton VSG Robusto – the peppery finish of this cigar is the perfect end to the stunning black pepper and coffee notes you enjoyed throughout. This fairly full-bodied smoke also possesses some spice and sweetness, as well as earthy and toasty notes.
- Vegas Robaina Famoso – if you’re looking for sophistication and complexity, this delicious smoke will give you exactly what you seek. With sweet and wooden notes, what’s not to like about the Vegas Robaina Famoso?
