I have enough room in my humi for a box of 4.5" smokes, this works out well since I really need something that can be smoked quickly here and there. I was thinking Partagas shorts but apparently that one is a headspinner, I need something mild enoough to smoke on an empty stomach..TIA.
 
From my limited experience I would recomend Trinidad Reyes. They are good and not too strong.
 
Party shorts are dandy's; not sure that I'd call them "headspinners". Other "teeny" ISOM's I've had that I liked that come to mind are the Siglo I and the Monte #5.

El Principes. But you should really try some different kinds first, because I know you will buy something you end up not liking and have to send the rest to me. :D . My humble recommendation would be to see if someone has some of the ones you want and then trade for a couple of each and smoke them before buying, just a thought.

Sancho Panza Non Plus (5 x 42)
This has been my personal go-to short cigar lately
not to strong for an am smoke, but
still has character with good flavor

RJ #4 is another good short medium body cigar :thumbs:

I think the Partagas Perfectos (5 x 44) are nice smaller smokes with a nice price. BTW, what's the difference between these and the Shorts? The Shorts are smaller and more expensive than the Perfectos. Are the Shorts higher quality or just some kind of standard for quick smokes?
 
Here is the list of petites and tres petites I keep in stock at all times.

Upmann Petite Corona

Upmann Corona Major A/T hand rolled

Partagas Petite Corona

Partagas Short

Partagas Corona Senior A/T hand rolled

RyJ Tubo # 2 hand rolled

Bolivar Petite Corona

Ramon Allones Petite Corona

Por Larranags Petite Corona

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Du Depute
 
Has any one tried the Cuaba Divinos, I tried one last week while visiting a LCDH. It was a fine little smoke. Good Price on them too.

All this talk around shorts and no one started a splilt. Hint... :D
