I'm in pain. I suffer from an uncontrollable urge to smoke Padron cigars. I've been forced to find refuge from overbids and ease my pain in dotcom land after watching the bidding. Oh well, I guess I'll have to smoke one of my Anviversarios, maybe that will help. Now, which one to smoke............

Oh the pain you must fee. As do I, watching with pain in my heart as the Onyx Reserve go higher and higher. Even as a message my bid "for the love of god, stop the insanity", the newbies bid on, spiralling ever upward towards madness. I turn with disdain and repose to my humidor to find solice in a La Perla Habana figurado maduro. Oh yea, that's the stuff dreams are made of.

la perla are sweet but i wasn't impressed with the black pearl. I think of the days when you could pick up a five pack of Padrons for $12.00. or some la lunas fuerte for $10.00 a pack even Romeo vintage #1's for less than three a stick. Check out the boxes, I've gotten some great deals there. But five packs, samplers and quickies are a thing of the past.

I'm confused about what you think is a good deal. I just picked up a five pack of CAO L'Anniversaire Napoleon Cameroon for $23 ... and was estatic! At my local California tobacconist, I was paying $10.50 each, not including sales tax.

Try buying any good or bad cigar for that matter in California and you feel like the "do gooders" of the world are holding a gun at the tobacconist head along with one on you! The taxes here are higher and getting higher with every possible tax they can levy on "sin products"! This is why I buy about 90% of my cigars over the internet! Oh, and regarding the post, I love Padrons! Charlie

God, all those anti-smoking laws really piss me off. For a while there I heard they were talking about trying to get rid of walk in humidors! Talk about pain. It's really sweet to stand in the cool damp of my smokeshop humidor surrounded by all those beautiful stogies indulging in the fantasy that it's my humidor in my house . . . .

hey Jim, both are very comperable, the Napolean is my substitute morning smoke for my Short stories and is pretty close in looks and taste, with the exception of box pressing. Go for the Napolean. Dan

The Napolean's are not box-pressed, even though CB states, "just like the Maduro series, the Cameroon is an unforgettable smoke with a great looking square-pressed shape" in their description. Just the same, Dan's right on the money ... I'm going outside to enjoy one right now!

I tried sneaking a lounge chair and portable TV into my local shops walk in and they din't like it, but they do let my sit up front on a big comfy couch and smoke all I want. Of course they make me pay for them, darn.
