Recently won several bundles, sat two days, then to freezer for 5 to 7, refrigerator 2 days, now in cooler. Learned to really like them. I think that give me a total of 4 bundles bought so far to pass time with. Recommend

Also, the A. J. Fernandez (green label) sticks received with above only having tried one today, excellent. Only thing to get used to is the 54 size, but didn't have to work hard. Recommend.

Olivas - not had a bad one yet. IMO, they run second to Padron. Olivas Recommend.

Any cigar, if the taste is there, it's a winner at my house so I note to reorder.

Padrons still sit in the presidents position in the coolidor though. I luv Padrons. Padrons highly Recommended.

Padillas - well, excellent for working outside and again chewing them from head to foot, OR, foot to head - your choice. Padillas, well I Recommend. Probably won't be re-ordering anymore.

All is well here in The Natural State, and I'm just glad I'm healthy, have a family, a place to live, and can order any stick anytime from whomever I want!!! I guess you can say I'm a satisfied person at this writting.🇨🇮 😇

To be more direct, I'm blessed.o:)

Best Regards all,

Skillett

I keep having people tell me about Pinars they love. I've only had a handful, but I've yet to enjoy one. I can get down with everything else you've mentioned though.

There could be some confusion with an old brand called Pinars or something like it. I'm a fan of Pinar Del Rio, but the fumas I tried were awful. Like Gurkha, you have some great cigars but a lot of varieties of mediocrity to wade through to find them.

the fumas use short and long filler I believe, and are nowhere near as good as the other pdr's which are - at most - worth about $1.25 each...

The PDR 1878s are very good, at least for me. Had a few others PDRs and they come with mixed reviews but the 1878 line is very good

I wondered why also, but didn't ask the question.

The 1878 capa maduro robusto (with a pigtail cap)at one time was by favorite smoke. Haven't smoked one in over a year, but have a dozen or two aging. The reserve limitatados selction series are also very good and there are other new blends that are quite good.

definitly hit or miss for me with PDR, a few I've liked, mostly only up to the first half and then blach!, a couple I've liked more, and many more I've eyed with suspision and distaste 🙂

I'm another who love the 1878 capa maduro. I wish I could get them here, but then again, they probably wouldn't be the same.
