There was enough confusion/frustration over the 'Padilla' versions.

No mention of Padilla in the copy for this one, however. In fact, no mention of any blender, maker, manufacturer, factory, etc. Who's behind this one?

There was a conversation here about two weeks ago about this stick as well as another of mysterious origin. IIRC, this may be an Oliveros product. Anyone else have better 411?

I heard it was from Abe Flores / Pinar del Rio cigars, but have not been able to confirm the accuracy of that information.

Have a catalog from another company with the same shipping address as CI???

From the makers of Pinar del Rio, featuring Cuban-seed long leaves from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic masked by a creamy, dark, and super oily Brazilian Habano ligero wrapper.

LOL - guess that confirms it. Or it's one helluva misprint.

For those of you lookig for confirmaiton I hesitate to enunciate for fear that I may deviate from the desired outcome.

As a result I can neither confirm nor deny information contained or obtained from this thread.

I got an Obsidian in a Pinar Del Rio Sampler that was recently a freebie on CI.

Smoked the Gordo tonight OTT. Not a bad $2 stick. Really like the Brazilian Ligero wrapper they use on this, and will probably enjoy it even more in smaller ring gauges.

Just don't think you're gonna be able to get any of these. Ordered a box nearly a month ago. It said they were backordered for "1-2 weeks", after 2 weeks I called and they said "2-3 weeks", after 3 weeks I called and they said they have NO IDEA WHEN THEY'LL BE IN. They offered me four 5 packs without even a discount, NOT. I'm getting rather impatient and CI is looking like fools in my book.....

^As I said, smoked one last night. Have 9 more sitting here. Seams as if Gordos and PC are the only size in stock right now.

In response to the Obsidian Gordo, it is by Pinar Del Rio. I picked some of these up in freefall. Just fired one up this evening. Pre-light, man it this a spicy wrapper just putting it to my lips! First puff spicy also, maybe some black pepper, not sure. About a 1/4 of the way in I swear it started to have a deep dark chocolate ovaltine flavor. Man is this good! Kept that flavor profile until about 3/4 of the way in and then the spice started in again. I will be sure and get more of these. I like one of the other posters have had the Robustos ordered for about a month. They just shipped today! Can't wait. 🇨🇮 I highly recommend.

Tasty...I'm down to the nub now.

I've smoked a couple of the Obsidian (PDR) Double Perfecto?? (6x60) and tired to smoke a Torp. The wrappers are gorgeous, dark and oily. The burn on the Double Perfecto started off a little wanky, but self corrected very quickly. The Torp, unfortunately was very tight and not ready to smoke. (Probably too wet) The PDR flavor profile is solid medium, with some nice spcie variety. Not overly complex, just an enjoyable and affordable cigar. I hope the Torps dry out a bit, I am anxious to try one. These are clearly worth a try IMHO.
