* * * The production of the Achilles, Hybrid, or Habano, all good, smokeable cigars, should in no way "drag down" Padilla's quality rating. No one making a legitimate comparison would put them side by side with a Seri V or Master blends III. The only way I can see anyone saying one is better then another is by taking maybe each's top 3 lines, or 90+ rated, and comparing them in detail. I am know each 2 or 3.

The fact that they release Fumas for sale instead of handing them out to hobos MIGHT drag down Padilla a little, ha ha...

I completely agree that it's pretty arbitrary to say one brand is better than another. As with all brands, both Oliva and Padilla have good and not-so-good products. If people haven't ever had a really nice Padilla torpedo (1932, Dominus, Miami), I strongly urge y'all to do so. For some reason the Robustos that I've had of the same seem worse-made and weaker, so be sure you track down the meatier vitolas.

The better Olivas and Padillas have become two of my go-to faves. I also dig Fernandez's Ruinations and the more ballsy blends that Rocky Patel puts out (Edge, Decade, Sun-Grown).

There's lots of great stuff being put out in Nicaragua and Honduras, for sure.
