I'll certainly try them.

Reminds me of much the same conversation about the LGC Perritos, which is a nice little cheroot.

Nothing wrong with a short filler stick. I personally find the Benchmades to be a very good stick although they only tend to top at at the $4 mark.
I love what Drew Estate has been doing with their non flavored tobaccos but $6 for a mixed filler Corona-ish sized cigar is a little steep on paper but if it smokes really good than the price point will probably become moot. Hell the Dirty Rat is just about the same size but retails for $12 and I never wince about paying that for them as the stick is just that good. I guess time will tell if a short filler Corona can sustain a $6 price point. My guess is that it will do just fine and will sell out with the quickness.

How short does the filler have to be on a 4 1/2" stick to be called a short filler stick. I mean are they using pieces shorter than 4 1/2 inches long?

To make a long filler cigar 4-1/2" in length you need filler tobacco that is about 6"-1/2" in length because part of it gets trimmed off in process.

Additionally, you can only get so many cuts out of a leaf, so you can get some odd sized leftovers. Sometimes wide shapes that aren't long, other times very long, but very narrow, or just weird shaped that would be hard to work with. There's not much you can do with them other than to chop them up for short filler.
