CubanExperienced smokersPartagás Shorts
A pocket-sized powerhouse — the famous little Minuto that packs full Partagás punch into a 20-minute smoke.
Flavor profile
Earthy · Spice · Roast
Don't let the size fool you. The Partagás Shorts is a tiny Minuto — 42 ring gauge by 4.4 inches — but it delivers a surprisingly full Partagás experience in about 20 minutes. It's a cult favorite for exactly that reason: maximum flavor, minimum time.
What it tastes like
This little cigar punches well above its weight. You get plenty of cedar, earth and black pepper, with leather and coffee filling things out — that bold, dark Partagás signature, concentrated. It runs medium-full, so it's not shy, and because it's short it stays consistent from light to nub without much chance to overheat.
Who it's for
The Shorts is built for experienced smokers who want a real Havana hit when time is tight — a quick break, an after-dinner espresso companion, a walk around the block. It's strong for its size, so it's not the place to start if you're new to Cubans; the milder Coronas Junior is friendlier. If you love the profile and want the long version, reach for the Serie D No. 4, and see Cuban vs Nicaraguan for context.
Quick smoke, quick log — rate it in the Casa DNC app before you forget.
