I have run into the same predicament, so I have tried lots of short gars.
If you want a helluva good short smoke try the Jucy Lucy, by Natural. These are excellent little cigars that you can get through very quickly. If your into Aromatics, the Acid C-Note is really nice as well.
On a cheaper note, I have tried the Biarritz Coffee Break, the V Centenial Coffee Break and the Don Lino Coffee Breaks. The V Centenial was a lot better, but all of these are solid little gars. I have several of each in my humidor and you can get them for about a buck apiece or less on C-bid.
There can be only one............Leon
