Wow, what a great little smoke! I am sitting outside right now testing my new wireless connection and finishing what is quickly becoming a fav. Up until now my favorite in this size would have to be the Boli corona junior. Now it looks like it may have some competition. This fine smoke was gifted to me by a BOTL here at CP.

You know I don't do flavors well, but I may now know what CC means when he calls these "peppery". Definitely a distinct flavor. Great draw. Typical Habanos grey ash. Tons and I mean TONS of smoke. Looking forward to having more of these.

CC, maybe you know what you're doing afterall.
 
CC turned me on to these and they are the best litle smoke out there....Right behind the Siglo I. :D
 
I love these little smokes as well as the whole marque. The BCJ still stands as my favorite Minuto though. I find it to be in a class by itself.

Have you tried any of the other San Cristobal vitolas Ricardo?
 
I have. And to be honest with you, they didn't stick out in my mind. Something about these made them a little more memorable.


(This is where Gator inserts a joke about it having to do with the other sizes threatening my manhood. There I beat you to it. :D )

Well, they may just not be your cup of tea but if you get the chance try an '01 La Punta or El Morro. They are both outstanding IME.
 
I've smoked quite a few of all different sizes of the SC's and I think the El Principes are the BEST SC in their lineup ;)

I like all the Havana Minutos except the Party Shorts :0 (well, I can't say that I've ever smoked a Punch TPC since they appear to be out of production at this point) The El Principe is my favorite but I mix in CJ's & RASCC's because I find that when I stick to just ONE cigar, I'll wind up getting sick of it.

The Sig I is a "Perla" (4 x 40) which is slightly smaller than a Minuto (4 3/8 x 42).
 
Thanks for the review... I have 3 of these coming in a trade.. look forward to comparing them to the RASCC's (which I love).

These are very high on my "must try" list. All I've heard is good things about these cigars.

Can't wait for my wife to get back in town with my laptop to check out my new wireless connection. Great review, Ric!

Nah, you're just still on a nicotine bender... ;)

But seriously, the SC's are nice smokes -- I like the black peppery flavor. CC does know what he's talking about, heck, he's even come around on some other things unmentionable! ;)
 
Silly me, I didn't google them first and went to smoke shop and asked for them.
