Padilla Miami
 

Any one have an opinion of the Padilla Miami in Churchill vitola? I've heard a lot about these sticks but not sure which size to go with.

I have the robustos, and find them delicious, I worry that going any wider might be too much :2

I have enjoyed many of these in several different sizes. My favorite was the corona gorda, but it is not available any more. I had never had the Churchill until Longknocker gave me a couple. I had one recently and really enjoyed it.

In my opinion, Padilla's quality has gone down. The 1932's are ok, but they were much better when Pepin rolled them.

I happen to agree that there was a period where they were pretty bad, but the last rounds of Padillas I've looked at and bought were all superbly blended and had great flavor (even if I didn't care for the blend that much, I still found them flavorful).

The rolling, however, sometimes leaves me wondering. They chunnel, tunnel, cherry, burn, canoe, screw, and otherwise don't smoke straight worth a darn. Taste good though.

I loved the 1932 as well, I haven't had a stick canoe on me in god knows how long...

I have enjoyed the Miami's I have smoked.

In order of preference:

Corona
Lancero - Just slightly behind corona

the rest aren't even close to the small RG's above
rob
church
toro
salomon - huge, bland disappointment -- so much promise and so little taste

don't think I've had the torp
