Short cigars 3 to 4 inches long in Dubai are gathered here, for moments when time is limited but quality still matters. Habanora holds close to a hundred cigars at this length.

The makers with the most sizes are Oliva, Marcus Daniel, La Aurora, Dominium, El Septimo and Gurkha. At the slim end sit La Aurora Miniature tins (3 1/4 x 22) and Finos tins (4 x 30), and Gurkha Café Tabac petit coronas (4 x 38). At the wide end are the Dominium Primera Selección Habano Petit Robusto (4 x 50) and Petit Robusto Gordo (4 x 60), the La Aurora 107 Ecuador Zeppelin (4 x 58) and the Tabanero Bundle Habano Nub Gordo (4 x 64).

A short, wide cigar burns cooler and lasts longer than its length suggests; a slim one is brighter and quicker. Choose the ring gauge for the time you have, then compare wrapper and strength on each cigar.

For a little more length, see cigars from 4 to 4.5 inches. For the smallest formats, see mini cigars, or explore Dominium Primera Selección.
