Those Ashtons can be nice, I think they do best sipped. Also resting them for a year significantly diminishes any harshness you might notice
Davidoff makes an extensive line of Primeros that come 6 to a tin. They are worth trying for sure. I like the regular Dominican and Nicaraguan lines. $6+ apiece though..
Their short-filler Winston Churchill Belicoso (4/tin, aprox. $8 apiece) might just be my favorite little cigar. But those will go for an hour, and we're getting away from cigarillo and into small cigar territory...
The various Drew Estate/Liga Coronets, as mentioned above by
@JoeW
La Flor Dominicana makes a petit version of their la Volcada. I've only smoked 3 but they were all obnoxiously tight. Excellent flavors though
Plascencia offers the Nestico vitola in their reserva line. These are excellent. When
@BronzeAgePiper said frosted flakes he was right.
I've been really into Fuente lately, and have burned through about 25 Exquisitos in the past few months. Every. single. one. has burned right. This means a lot to me. Do you like the Fuente/Dominican profile? Unsure? Buy 5 of these for $12.50 and see
Oliva offers tins of their Serie O, G, and probably others. If you like those, or don't know yet, these could be a good value. I like them
Probably more, and definitely some I didn't like and have forgotten about. Hope you find something useful above. Good luck!
In order from shortest to longest smoke ? …. As @BenMN mentioned the glorious Plasencia Nesticos. Then which is prolly my fav Tatuaje the 4x40 petite cazadores. Illusione Fume d’amour 4.25x42 and illusione Epernay Le petite 4.5x44. But I will say the smaller the ring gauge the slower I smoke it, so all these tend to last me as long as robustos but guess what the price is half so there ya go!
