This was awesome. Tons of flavor, raisin and black cherry, cinnamon, a little clove, some vanilla and wheat bread. There’s a gentle spice to it that I loved too. I really loved the big version of this so I was excited to try these, and I wasn’t disappointed in the least. It burned great and drew well, I will definitely be adding more of these to my small cigar rotation. Excellent stuff.

Exceptional smoke by an exceptional blender. It can be hard to find, so if it’s in stock pick some up. I enjoyed this and the henkie as well.

I’ve smoked a few of these Smoking Jacket Mini Henkies, and man, they’re a solid quick smoke. Perfect size for when you don’t have a ton of time. lights easy, burns pretty even most of the time. You get nice earthy vibes with some wood, a bit of pepper kick, and hints of nuts or baking spices. Super smooth overall, not too strong. Great for a chill break, I’d grab more for sure.

Love these! Great for a winter smoke as they are under an hour and packed with tons of smooth flavors. Certainly a must try if you enjoy Kelner tobaccos.

I have smoked several of these so far and have enjoyed them all. Very smooth with a baseline of leather and earth balanced by occasional hints of spice and dried fruit. The size is also very convenient for a shorter smoke that is still satisfying.

I’m a huge fan of short smokes. Sometimes I just don’t have a ton of time to smoke a toro. This definitely fits the bill. Get good Graham cracker flavors, with dried fruit and some light cedar. Sometimes in certain blends I feel they will smoke different in different vitolas but this stayed consistent from its larger counterpart. Construction on this was great. I would not hesitate to add these in my normal rotation as the price is definitely right.

Absolutely impeccable construction, and flavor for such a short smoke. I love the size, and prefer this blend to the regular Henkie. Definitely box worthy.

I’ve long been a fan anything coming out of the kelner boutique factory, these are no exception. Construction is top notch. flavors are bold and sweet and has that nice funk from the yamasa. while the smoke time is great from a stick this small I’d love to see a corona gorda in this blend.

OMG this corona is amazing, has a decent smoke time and the flavors are so intense a delicious. This has what the original Hernkie Was lacking, a little bit more body and flavors. Baker’s spice with a little bit of pepper. Box worthy.

Box buy to keep in the “short smokes” section of the humi. Light pepper, earth, dark fruit or raisin like flavor and a sweetness that reminded me of a ritz cracker.
