Well, I've never had any Padilla ... that oscuro wrapper sure looks nice though and that's what first caught my eye! I'll enjoy giving the corojo a try though.

Sorry it didn't work out for you Scott.

The 68's have always had a corojo wrapper. They're a good cigar.
I just cancelled cause I don't dig the bait and switch routine.

The 68's were my favorite at a time, and it was definately a good deal.
I just simply don't need any of the stuff. I was spending 300 bucks on a "good deal" cause of the Oscuro wrapper.
When I found out it wasn't an LE and it wasn't the right wrapper, and that the Artisans that I REALLY wanted were on backorder, the whole deal just evaporated.
It was still a good deal with the fivers, but I just honestly didn't need any of it.

I ordered the 2 pack with the DPG JJ's and the Summertime Soloman sampler. Got my shipment today, Corojo's on both.

Those oscuros sure did look tasty!

Got mine in today! Those Padillas still look tasty - I haven't tried them yet.

(Yet means "as long as it takes me to quit typing an clip the head of one of them"! )

They certainly should have said something when I called and said 'you forgot to put my '68 2-pack in the box'. I've always held CI customer service in high regard, but this is strike one.

Default Re: CI Padilla Limitado Oscuros 68's aren't Oscuro

I just ordered the 68 just because it was the cheapest way of getting the Sol Cubana Artisans. I just smoked one of them last night and I have to have more... the 68 are just some bonuses.

CI cracks me up. If you search sol cubano artisan on their website, the cheapest for a 5ver is $75. If you use google, there is a secret page where they are $27.50. If you go through the 5-pack madness they are "free" by pruchases 2 68 Solamons for $25. Anyway, I think this is a great deal from CI... and yes, the free shipping made is 7 premium sticks for $25 shipped, cannot beat that.

Love Padilla's. The 68s are pretty good, but not as good as some of the others. I'm just wondering if next CI catalog we are going to see an AMAZING DEAL on 68 Solomons!!! The box price at AMZINGLY INSANE low CI GOODNESS price plus a bunch of free cigars...

Default Re: CI Padilla Limitado Oscuros 68's aren't Oscuro

I hope CI can produce those Oscuros.
The '68 was at one time my favorite cigar. It's one of the first handful that made me think "Wow, I didn't know cigars could be this good." They also are a big part of what started my cigar addiction.
So yeah, the deal was still great, and the Corojo Salamone is delicious.
I just didn't need any of the stuff I ordered. I just bought 300 bucks worth of stuff cause of the oscuro wrapper. That's why I cancelled.
When/if the wrappers show up, I'm gonna be all over them.
I still wanna get a bunch of those Artisan Burberrys, but they were on backorder anyways. So my whole deal just kinda sucked.
To make me feel better, me and sofaman did a split on a bunch of "nearly free" cc's.

yeah, the gurkha rep gave one to me last time he was in town. And then i purchased and smoked two since. its actually a fantastic dominican cigar, very smooth. the wrapper is so nice that it literally feels like silk... very little texture to it. I actually felt like i was going to rip the wrapper it seemed so delicate.

This deal got interesting again. They know have two different Padilla solomen (a 1932 and Miami blend) with the same 5-pack deal. I should have waited maybe, these look more interesting then the 68s.

And $15 more expensive ($40). Not much of a deal to me.

You are right! On the first page it says $25 but in the cart it is $40! (dam CI) No so hot now for sure. Thanks for pointing this out.

I was going back and forth between this deal and the Gurkha Status, since I'd like to try the 5 Vegas Relic or Cask Strength II. But our baby made an early apearance, so I'll have to wait and see what the August catalog has for specials...
