If you’re looking for a shorter smoke without losing the cigar experience, cigarillos are the answer — 15–20 minutes of flavour, structure, and calm.
At Toro Puro, we treat cigarillos as a compressed ritual: the same slow draw, the same attention to construction, just designed for the moments where time is limited and you still want something that feels deliberate.
When cigarillos are at their best
- After dinner with an espresso — when you want a finish, not a full session.
- Early evening on a short walk — when you need to reset the mind.
- Between responsibilities — when you want a quiet 15 minutes that actually feels like yours.
Formats you may see in the collection
You’ll notice names like Petit Panetela, Half Corona, or Petit Corona. These are traditional vitola names (format names) that describe shape and feel, and they often overlap with what many people call “cigarillos”.
Prefer a full-length cigar in a shorter format instead? Browse our cigars under 45 minutes or the Less Than 45min Sampler to compare styles.
FAQ
What is the difference between a cigarillo and a short cigar?
Cigarillos are typically smaller in ring gauge and built for a quicker smoke, while a short cigar keeps a fuller format in a shorter length.
How long does a cigarillo actually take?
Most sit around 15 to 20 minutes, though this varies by size and how slowly you smoke.
Are cigarillos a good starting point?
They can be. They offer a genuine cigar experience without the time commitment of a longer smoke.
