Default 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).

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.

Have had the RS12, HUPC, RGPC, but not the others.

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.

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.

I just looked, and there is an O for about $90 for 20. And yes, the is the G Special G (which didn't impress me).

Liked the Os I've had, so might have to look at these.

Have gone through a box & a half of these (natural) and have tried the more expense version the '90, '92, and the Sun Grown.

But thanks for the offer.

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!

OK, may sound like a dumb question, but why?

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.
