I recently won three bundles of
Padilla FUMAS in MADURO wrappers , toro + robusto sizes...

the First half is pretty good but on about 50% of them ....they get bitter and hot half way through...
but for $13-16 bucks for 20 gars....I JUST TOSS THEM WHEN
or if they "go south"...

I've been doing well in "the SAMPLER" CATEGORIES TOO...
some very good deals on "off bidding / ending nights"
because every other category is gettingWAY too much newb
overbidding...

ROCKY PATEL FUMAS STILL BLOW...BIGTIME...

The ones they had about 4 or 5 years ago were a lot better. I almost outbid you.

I got a bundle about week or so ago and I like them. The cap is a little weak and I honestly feel like they were a little dry (they dropped the RH in my 50 ct humi from 70 to 60 over night) but for the price I can't complain.

After the first one split a little with a v-cut I did switch to a punch on the next two and had a little better luck. There was still a bit of cracking but nothing unmanageable. It has burned well and the mild flavor was pleasantly enjoyable. I was able to ash it in about 30-35 min and it paired well with a Shiner Cheer (dunkel).

After adding some distilled water to the humidity beads in my small humidor it's holding steady at 62 now and has been climbing daily. A few more weeks and I think the rest of them will be well worth the money paid.
