Try watching the "quickies" - especially during the week. Usually some really good things in there that don't get noticed.

Yep, this place has deals you just gotta find em and not go nuts bidding. It takes some work and is like a game to me. My wife asks why I look at this all the time and I asked her why she plays candy crush game all the time.

Cigar bid is actually saving me money. I walked into the local discount cig shop yesterday and bought 1 stick for $7. I looked at their prices and just couldn't do it anymore. I figure I can find em on here for a good deal eventually.

I would support my local more than I do if they would stock something smaller than a 50 ring gauge.

Every time when I go to an event and buy one of the smallest RG's they have - I am reminded of why I went to smaller stuff.

Last time I went, they did have a lancero. Nice one, too.

Ask what they have in a small ring gauge and the clerk starts looking for 50/52, say smaller than that and then he looks at you like "say whaa?"

I'd be more willing to support the local,if I got service like I did at Cigars Etc. in Wichita, Ks. There the tabacconist waited on me and offered some great suggestions, a cigar sales rep was there at the time and gave me a la aroma de Cuba mi amor. I can't wait to go back.

At the local B&M they specialize in empty boxes that have been empty for months and barely speaking English.

I've seen the seconds around ALOT just never thought to try them. I guess they may be worth a shot, anyone else give a stab at these?

I gotta say of the many seconds/overruns I've tried, the best has been the AJ Fernandez overruns. The last two bundles I got (you don't get much say so, apart from general size/vitola) were La Herencia Cubana CORE robustos. Smoked perfectly - cheapest I got was I believe just under $25 for 15. Me like.

Second to those were the Nicaraguan 90+ Rated 2nds - perhaps not AJ (perhaps so?), but decent nontheless.

Hmm once the wife quits threatening to leave me if I order more ceegars, I will look into them overruns.

Yup - you believe correct, sir. I was mistaken. I had the ligero-laced 2nds, the Fs and the Hs, which I understand to be Cain seconds - preferred the latter.

arrgghhh!!!!
that cigar has pizzed me off more than any other, by far!
It's the sole reason I refuse to buy any Padilla products anymore....(fortunately I have a good stash of old Series 68, 1932s and 1948s.........and when they're gone.....I'm done with Padilla)
This is a typical Padilla Miami fiver....(any vitola):

ya smoke one.....dang that's good!
the next one......what the hell is this turd!!!
the next one.....taste is kinda meh, but won't burn/draw worth crap....
the next one........oh goody!!...it tastes good!!....for an inch..........then turns to sheet
the last one in the fiver................dang that's good!!

no thanks......makes me friggin crazy........

Yep - that's it! The old DPG-produced sticks were great - had a lovely, rounded syrupy quality to them. Then DPG gave Padilla the boot because he was apparently getting too grabby and demanding. Then, the Padilla sticks went downhill. Then, I haven't bought one since 2010.

Oh, wow, all new Padilla lines?😝 F Padilla!
