Quest for Long and Skinnies

[Philc2001]

The proliferation of fat cigars, especially the SHORT and fat, is a trend that is evidently killing off several of my favorite vitolas. I've been a fan of the skinny formats for decades and with every passing year more and more of them are disappearing. Down here in the swampy, humid south Florida, the skinnies burn much better than the thicker cigars, especially in the wet hurricane season from May through November, so that might explain why I favor the skinnies. 

I've loaded up on Lonsdales and some Coronas, which are endangered species also. But now I want to focus on some of the skinny of skinnies before they turn into Dodos - here I mean those under 38 ring, and over 5.5" in length.

I already have some MC Especial #2, PLMC, and LGC MdO#4, which are already staples. But I'd like to know what others are still reasonably available, either in current production or recently dropped but may still be found. I've seen the Super Partagas out there already, so I'm hoping to land some of those. What else?

Seems you mentioned all of them already. Might try Boli Tubos No. 3 and RGPEs (though TC)

Fundies are close and super amazing as well as reyes. 40rg

monte especial and Cohiba Lanceros and Coronas Especiales

 

I agree with the Boli Tubos 3.  Soooo good for a quickie.

I should add that Cohiba is not compatible with my tastes. I don't know why, I've tried many times to like them, but the that grassy, dry character of Cohibas just doesn't please my palate. The only exception over the years has been the Esplendido, which I have had good experiences with, otherwise the Siglos and others have been a bust for me.

Where are the Lanceros, Laguitos, Panetelas? 

I did pick up a partial box of PLP recently, but I haven't tried them yet. One had a big long hair hanging from the foot... I can't believe those things get through QA, but they do.

Quay d'orsay Panetelas/ninfas  still a couple of boxes out there

Since you mentioned the Super Partagas, I will mention Upmann Majestics. More of a corona than a true skinny, but a fine smoke at a good price.

I just don't think there are that many. And Cohiba makes a couple of them. Love the PLMC myself. If you can go to Cuba, maybe finding a roller you like and loading up might be the best option... If you like Nicaraguan cigars, there are quite a few more options. The Illusiones, Tats, My Fathers all have some skinnies. Illusione just recently added the Ninfa 33 to their line, though it's shorter than a true Ninfa (6.25 vs 7). I am a fan of the Oliva Cain F lanceros myself.
