I see this smoke is being stocked now… had to order 5er each of the natural and maduros.

Anyone burn one of these with an opinion?

It’s a Padron, so I can’t help but to think it will be tasty.

I've found all Padrons to be opinionated. They seem to think they're better than everyone else.




























Not far from the truth.......=d>

Can't imagine getting $25+ worth of pleasure from a cigar.

I won't be buying any.

$25.00 per cigar doesn’t give me reason to pause even for a second. It’s not like it is in every day rotation.

I have 3 drawers for the high $ (for me) smokes; the FF Opus, Padron FR, CC’s, etc types. I will smoke one occasionally with a nice 20+ year old cognac and I think it’s worth every penny. They give me enjoyment form the time I purchase, thru the ogling, caressing (my precious) aging period, anticipation of smoking and then the 1.5 hour of actual smoke. So I’m good with that, you may not be; YMMV. Cool.

Chit, I just spent twice+ that for the neighbor kids my wife baby-set as a favor pizza dinner…think I’ll find the Padron’s much, MUCH more enjoyable.

You may trade into a few down the road with a generous partner, but you won’t be finding them on auction for a steal; someone has to pull the trigger at near retail for the original purchase.

Anyway, I guess there’s been no actual experience yet. I’ll share mine when it happens.

monthly??......oh that's right, you're not Platinum Plus anymore.....
(I heard you got demoted...............something about not making Trish happy??)

Anyways, weekly personal delivery under the "Plus" plan is becoming a bit much to be honest..........I may have to cut back to monthly delivery as well
