They come in Hybrid, Maduro, and CT(conneticuit).

Offered in Robusto, Torpedo, and Churchill.

The Hybrids are a must try, havnt had the maduro's yet and I have heard that the CT's are mild but very flavorful.

I was asked to review the hybrid a few months back. Although I found it quite mild (mild-medium), I noticed a lot of mature, well-balanced flavor throughout the smoke which leads me to believe that this is a well-made, well-aged cigar. In a nutshell, it was very smooth, never tried to bite my palate, and offered a toasty woodiness that was somewhat creamy, with notes of white pepper. Considering the strength, I could enjoy this anytime, and look forward to firing one up again soon.

Steve the ones you sell are the Nicaraguan selection right. Have you tried the hybrid yet?

Nice review Steve. Sounds right up my alley. I prefer the milder Nicaraguan blends.

Stogie - actually, we carry the Hybrid Selection. The review I provided above was of the Hybrid.

Steve,

I think the Padillas are billed as Nicaraguan Selection over at CI. I personally think that the Hybrid would spark the most interest, so you guys might want to change your description.

Thanx! Hat

Hello to everyone at c-bid. Thank you "milnus" for the kind words--Padilla cigars a "new" brand you really enjoyed.

We might be a new name to a lot of cigar smokers but our family has been in the cigar bizz going back to Cuba where my brother Carlos and I where born.

We hope to see some of you guys this April 9th at the Cigars International herf.

I have received many e-mails from some of you who have tried the Padilla Hybrid and had very positive words for us. We also have a great rich Maduro and a smooth full flavored Connecticut wrapper.

Thank you again to all of you.

If I can be of service please feel free to email me at:
