601 red or others in Petite Corona size?????

[AshKicker]

Hello,
I had the pleasure of smoking a 601 Red last night in the cigarillo size (given to me by smokinj), and I loved it!! The problem is, I'm a light weight, and a regular size full-bodied cigar will make me sick (I've tried and failed the test). I know I don't have to smoke the entire cigar, but come on, how many will put down a really good cigar even if it is making you very woozy? I've got a problem with wasting good cigars, and I don't always want to share I've looked at a few online cigar sales companies, and can't find an in between of sizes from the 5/50 to cigarillo size, and the cigarillo leaves me wanting (and being able to handle) a little more. Does anyone know if these cigars are made in the petite corona size or something similar??

Thank you

It looks like there is a 4x32 size called a Guapito in the 601 Red. They have 5 packs here:

Its still a Cigarillo.

Now they do make some coronas but not a petite corona in the green series but that is about it. Best price i have seen is Atlantic, CI, and Famous for a 5 pack running between 22 and 26 dollars.

I guess when I think of a cigarillo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarillo) it is the size of a cigarette with about a 20 ring gauge. The link I provided was the closest I could find to a petite corona in the 601 Red. I believe the one she smoked is pictured here:

I can't tell for sure but the 601 Red in the picture compares in size to the Zino Scepter beside it which is about 4x32.

Yes, the guapito 601 red is the cigar I had, same size as the Zino Scepter xs. I called it a cigarillo, as some other manufacturers call them (Davidoff for one), so yeah, I was generalizing the size. Anyway, I really liked the taste. I'm finding that I do like full-bodied cigars, but as I stated above, can't handle a full one. Some manufacturers offer a petite corona or some similar size, but not all, in fact the ones that don't out number the ones that do, which is a dilemma for folks like me that don't like to get trashed off a cigar, or waste one either. So, the search continues!

The best in the petite sizes, IMHO are the Tatuaje Petit and Cabaiguan Petit. The Cabby gives you a really good flavor and body, while the Tat gives you a fuller flavor and body.
They clock in at 4.5 x 32... a PETIT, but not a petite corona and not a cigarillo.

If that size leaves you wanting a little more, try the Illusione 68 at 4x44... or the DPG Black Label Perla at 4.25x40 and the Corona Especial at 5.5x38... mmmm

Thanks for the suggestions Mike, I'll put them on my "want to order list"!

on the 601 note, a smaller ring diameter in the green label (a post above suggested it), will be a 5-pack buy with in the next 2 weeks then I'll see if I can handle them.
Thanks everyone for the help, and the suggestions
