Petite Corona suggestions
Dear friends, I need some assistance.
I have always loved PAM Principes (4.5X46), Paul Garmirian Bombones (3.5X43) - recently (last 4 years) I have added the Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic Perla (4.2X40). What I'd like your help with, is finding some others in that size ranget that would be med-full bodied and mildly sweet. Nothing over 4.5 inches (but may be as short as 3.5"), and nothing under a 40 ring nor over a 46. And, here's the kicker - would like them to be in the $2.50 - $4.50 range. So, what's out there that you're enjoying? If someone is interested, I'd would especially be willing to swap for a couple 5ers (preferrably each 5er is all of one vitola).

Re: Petite Corona suggestions
My favorites in order are H. Upmann PC, Rafael Gonzalez PC, Cohiba Sig II, Bolivar PC, Punch RS 12.
Then there is the Party Short but is is not a Mareva, its a Minuto. All are at or just around $4 a stick.

And while these are near the $4.00 mark, most are at or above it (albeit not significantly), rather than closer to the other end of the range I set or even in the middle.

Isn't there an Oliva O in that size? A small perfecto?
There is also the Oliva G in a little 4" figurado I believe.

Re: Petite Corona suggestions
Your search ends here:
Rocky Patel Sungrown PC (4.5x44) - this cigar is available even cheaper as the RP Factory Select rosado, or the RP factory 2nd sungrown (available from Famous Smoke). Best NC petite corona I have ever had at any price, bar none. These happen to fit in your price range too. I have smoked through roughly 2 bundles and everyone of them has had a perfect draw, flavor and burn.

Re: Petite Corona suggestions
I love the PC size because you can light up a smoke without having to really commit to it. If it goes out or tastes bad, no big deal. If it tastes good and you want it to keep going, they're small enough that you can just start a second one!

Re: Petite Corona suggestions
I would. The RyJ is probably a bit stronger than the Parti.
It so happens I have both in the humi, if you're interested in a comparison. Shipping would be fast and cheap.
