I know some of the members here smoke pipes and cigars.
I love smoking my pipes, but I have also been a cigar smoker for a couple of years off and on, on and off. I tend to constantly be on the move, so a quick little cigar tends to be faster for me so I can get a pleasurable smoke in before I head to my next destination.
When I was younger (I'm 23, so when I say younger I mean 18-19) I did enjoy black and milds, but now of course I find them to not be a very enjoyable smoke after smoking some fine pipe tobacco.
I have smoked my share of large, fancy, 5, 10, and 20 dollar cigars. But, do you guys have any suggestions for a good, quick smoke? Maybe a small cigar or a higher quality cigarillo.
If it helps, I don't want it to be like sticking a stick of sugar or a sucker in my mouth, but a little flavor doesn't hurt if you know of a good one.
Thanks ahead of time for any and all suggestions!

I've been a fan of Drew Estate and their Acid cigars for years. Although I prefer their Kuba Kuba, I've tried some of their smaller offerings and found both their Blondies to be a good, quicker smoke. I've also had their C-Notes...although right now I can't remember much, other than I didn't have any complaints.
If you like a little more flavoring but not over the top, CAO has decent tinned cigarillo's. My personal favorite is their Eileen's Dream.

Thank you for the suggestions!
I have a tried one CAO before and I don't remember which one it was. I do remember it almost made me sick because of sweet the paper/leaf was and I ended up throwing it out of the windows. I may have just gotten the wrong flavor though.
I think I will stop by my local B&M and see what he has in stock right now. Pretty small shop and he mainly just has larger cigars and some bulk pipe tobaccos, but I'll see if he has anything worth trying.

I have seen the Backwoods around some. I will be sure to give them a try.
Will see if I can find the Cohibas while I'm at it.
Thanks! 8)

I used to smoke shrapnels, cheap and got the job done. Sort of no muss no fuss. I also enjoyed Rex Brittania although a bit pricier... And Erin Go Braugh was probably my flavored favorite.

De Nobili - smoke them for years. There's a bit of hickory in the taste. They really reek and keep interruptions to a minimum.
Romeo y Julieta Mini White which I enjoy when Ireland and England as the little De Nobilis aren't to found there. At least I never can.

For a cigarillo, I like El Rey del Mundo Bon Bons. For something a little bigger, it's Montecristo No. 4. That's a half corona, 4.00 x 44.

Macanudo makes a little "Tin" of short smokes that are good & I forgot about the Backwoods, and thats what I am getting next time I need a fast one, they are pretty good!

Montecristo just came out with a new line called Minis, the Blue is fantastic. Good for about a 5-10 min smoke

I second the little Italian style de Noblis. They are dry, you don't need a humidor. They are burley - you can cut them up and smoke them in a pipe.
Who makes the short Story - Fuente? A fine smoke if not too pricey. I also like a Punch, they make a small perfecto.

Wow thanks for the many suggestions fellas! I'm going to take note of some of these and since I didn't make it to the B&M today, will stop by tomorrow to see if he has any of these. If not, I may just suck it up and pick a few to order. I'm sure there's also a sampler out there I could use to try out some different ones.
I do like the sound of the Montecristo minis. Have always been a big fan of Montecristo.

As far as a cheap cigar goes, I like the Backwoods. Preferably the Black pack if you can find them.

They come in packs/pouches of 5 (used to be 8) for about $4.50 last time I checked.
If you want something a little more upscale, and with a little added flavor, check out some Tatianas. I prefer their full sized cigars, but their short smokes are good too. My favorites are the Groovy Blues.
For some pint sized full flavor cigars, check out Romeo y Juliettas.

+1 on the Groovy Blues and Backwoods pete. Meharis also makes a good line of cigarillos that either come in singles or 20 packs. For something a little bigger, Isabella's are pretty decent too.
