I see Padrons and AFs at other auction sites and also on sale below MSRP several places even AFs on here (although not really below MSRP here yet that I have noticed) so - as speculated in other posts - perhaps the MSRP wall is tumbling.

Can the Powers-that-be comment on if Padrons and below-retail AFs will return here soon?

Been seeing some brands show up on here at auction that hadn't been on here since I joined so maybe we will see Padron come back also. Maybe?? Maybe not.

Ever since the Japanese bought Jim Beam I don't buy it anymore even if Mila Kunis is pitching for them. Likewise, I have not purchased a single Padron cigar since they took their ball from here and went home.

Except for a cigar bar purchase on occasion, I had also not bought any either since they left here UNTIL I saw a below MSRP sale. Thought its good for everyone if Padron saw the lower price actually driving sales. I'm very selfless that way...o:)

Did you already forget what they used to go for at some of the other auction sites?
I should post this in da other thread, but all heck is gonna break loose in the next..............12 months or so I'm guessing.
Might be some REAL deals for a bit as certain inventory will need to get unloaded quickly.
Certain companies might try to be ahead of the curve and start that process early hoping to maintain decent margins before the poop hits the fan.

So it is true that the Cubans are coming. Do you have any detail? 🤔 🤔

What I'm talking about has nothing to with cc coming here, and everything to do with impending tobacco legislation.
I'm just hoping the cigar industry hires some TOP notch lawyers for the coming lawsuit(s).

My order showed today. Put the 1964s away to rest, but fired up a 3000 maduro right out of the box. Had not had a 3000 in quite a while.

First impression is it was pretty squsihy and soft not firmly packed*. As a result it did not last as long as you would expect. But my goodness the flavor! Perfect burn. Lots of smoke. For the sale price and free shipping shipping, really great smoke and good deal.

*checked the others and looks like the one I pulled to smoke is the only super soft squishy one.

And back on post point. I see an AF sale at the Mothership that is below MSRP so there is hope!

Thanks for the heads up on that BTW. I see your post got axed. I understand that I guess but its not like its a real competition until the Padrons get back to this site (fingers crossed!)
