Re-School me please...

So what can I say, it's been a long, long time since I walked into a B&M and bought some cigars. I found some interesting stuff that I can't quite find info for on the interwebs. Anyone who can offer up opinions or just background on the following would be very helpful...

Padron Family Reserve #44 (long pyramide) and #45 (fatty)

Fuente Rosado Magnum 52, 54, 56

858 Sungrowns (certainly these can't be the OR ones from like 02-04 or so from that contest?!)

Lots of God of Fires in tubes but none in the old coffins... do they make these anymore?

Thanks for any help. I used to know this stuff backwards and forwards but I seriously felt like a total newb when I went in there the other day.

Depends if you bought it at a B&M or online.

Yeah, cello is of much better quality at B&M...

There are threads here on those cigars if you care to use the search function

All of those brands sound fake. Avoid. Stick with the names you know and trust. Like Gurkha.

Cello is always on. If I get cigars with no cello, I send them to a 3rd party to be celloed or wrap them in tinfoil. I usually reuse the tinfoil I used for leftover ham to recycle.

Do you take it off before lighting them, Scott?

Why bother? Cello is odorless and tasteless and has a nice texture.
