Thanks for the review. Love the pic
A couple of comments... As far as CA ratings are concerned, I tend to prefer the cigars they rate in the 80s over the 90 and above group. That is the case almost every month. The only exception is their "Connoisseur's Corner" with all those 99-rated beauties

. I'm sure those are incredible, but I'll never know...
Also, I do enjoy the construction and consistency of the high-end Padrons, but I could say the same thing about half of the nc brands I buy. Lots folks doing great work in the cigar biz, imo.
