Narrow column in Bootstrap

Question

I have a grid with two columns (in fact, some rows have 2 columns in a grid with 5 columns). I am trying to make the first as narrow as possible and giving the rest of the other. Nesting does not work because I only have 2 columns.

Basically, I need something like, col-xs-0.5or even better, a solution that will make the first column wide enough to fit*

Here is an example: https://jsfiddle.net/4jcL24ze/8/

<div class="container">
   <div class="row">
       <div class="col-xs-1">*</div>
       <div class="col-xs-11">some long description</div>
    </div>
</div>
