Tins
Lately I've been busier than I ever have in my life, and most weeknights I've only had maybe 2 hours (awake) at my house for the entire day. It's been that way for about 2 months now, and I look forward to the weekends when I have a whole 5 or 6 hours awake at the house.
Because of the time crunch I have started ordering cigars in tins. Ones like Montecristo Memories, Ghurka minis, AF, etc. Pretty much all of them are 4 X 20 or so. Man, when you want a cigar but don't have time to smoke one these are definitely the ticket! It takes me about 15 minutes to get from the base to my house, which is the perfect amount of time it takes to smoke one of these. Or if I want to relax with a cigar in the evening but don't want to waste an hour that I could spend sleeping. The Ghurkas are especially good - the use only long-fller and taste amazing. I have about 5 tins of various brands right now and I'm in love with them. They burn a little hot at the end, but it's worth it.

I've gone through a bunch of Toraño tins in the last year. I also just got some CAO Brazilia Cariocas that I'm sure I'll go through quickly.

If you haven't, try the Partagas Black Prontos and the Olor Fuerte Poquitos from Famous, both are very good.

The Red Dot Pequenos are a perfect smoke for my ride home from the office. One of my favorites for sure. Also like the Ashton aged maduros

I got to try a few of the tins. I'm probably going to buy some maduros. Maduros are my favorite.

I prefer the Bolivar Petite Bolivars if I want a short smoke.

I saw one of those tins stop a bullet in a movie once. I'm never without one in my waistcoat jacket.
