Popped my ....

[OLS]

I would go the other way...if you like Nicaraguan Tobacco, there is no REAL reeason to go past Padron. You have found
the pinnacle. I don't think there is a cigar maker that does a better job with a Nicaraguan puro or with nic tobacco.
You have tasted the high end of medium on what they offer. You can go for the top or you can discover the fantastic
cigars in the Padron regular line. For a couple bucks a pop, you can't find a better cigar outside Cuba, and sometimes
I am not even sure the Padrons aren't the 'hands down' best. I don't smoke many of em anymore, since I am filthy rich
and super-famous but I know quality and taste.

I'd put Tat right up there with Padron.

I chuckled a bit at the bolded(assuming you're being sarcastic).

And as much as Padron will deny it, they do use a Mexican wrapper, its been an unspoken but known thing for a while. And it especially became clear to me last night when I had a 64 Exclusivo, after smoking a bunch more Mexican wrapper cigars you can taste that distinct Mexican flavor in em. Not saying it takes away from the cigar in any way, still in my top 3 favorites.

If you like Padron's I would try the Illusiones or pretty much any Tatuaje. I love Nicaraguans.

I usually pair cigars with a coke, lemonade if it is hot or iced tea. But I am not a big liquor person.

I would also try the regular Padron's - great cigars at a little lower price point.

Here are some web pages for your perusal in regards to Aarons post #2:

I usually drink ice water, ice tea, diet Vernor', or a good cup of coffee when I smoke. I would also recommend trying a La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet #1 if they are available at your local B&M. Here's their web page:

Enjoy the education and experience Keith...

Hahahahahah, now I assume YOU are being sarcastic. If you are saying that, I have to assume you
are like me, in that if you believe a thing enough it becomes true. Because what you are saying has no
basis in fact, and would only be proffered to you by a supposed informed insider who was FOS.

Haha, when I first saw the title I read it as "Pooped my..." Not sure what I was expecting but I decided to click anyway. After a couple seconds into the initial post I realized I clearly read the title wrong. OK, back on topic!

Everytime I see the title, even when I first posted it, that is what keeps running through my head! I still do a double take.
