Looking for some medium- medium strong shorties

Hi all.
I find myself only being able to enjoy a small to medium size smoke at work.
By medium I mean something akin to a 4.5" ish x 50-60. It usually boils down to a time commitment thing where a 6-6.5" cannot be fully enjoyed due to time constraints.
I normally go for a Nub Habano, a 5Vegas Apostle, or a 5Vegas Miami Knuckle.

What else might I find in that size with a medium to medium strong cigar?
Preferably one that retails for no more than say $5-6.00 (and cheaper if I can get them on c-bid )

Thanks,

Doug.

Oliva Special G Maduro is a fine quick smoke. Cheap too.

Re: Looking for some medium- medium strong shorties

Thanks for the choices so far!
I have tried the Oliva G, and while I don't remember what I thought at the time (.5 yrs ago) I am willing to try a sampler.

Keep'em coming!

Thanks all.

Doug.

Re: Looking for some medium- medium strong shorties

Punch Rothschild, Punch Champion, Punch Magnum. The Champion is a neat little perfecto that's 60 ring at its widest point, and it's probably my favorite Punch. The Rotschilds are the bargain at $120-$130 for a box of 50. At a similar price point you can get the oft overlooked Camacho Havana H2 Robusto.

If you feel like going all the way to a full bodied cigar you could try my current favorite short smoke, the Camacho Coyolar Puro Perfecto #1.

+4 on the Oliva Special G Maduro, one of my favorites, awesome with cream soda. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Re: Looking for some medium- medium strong shorties

Wow! Thanks all. It sounds like I have quite the road of tasting ahead of me.

I must say that the "cream soda & Oliva G" sounds really good at THIS moment.
I might be going to the B&M this morning to get one.

Thanks again,

Doug.

I had the EXACT same reaction right now.

Might have to smoke one after lunch. I've never tried cream soda, but man oh man did that just make my mouth water.
