The links in your post are not images. The links should have a .jpg extension or some other picture file extension.

Thanks Peter! Let's try again....

Peter, I'm seeing the same cute little box with yours too with the x in it. How you doin' btw!

Don't use the "direct link".
If I had an account there I could show you. I use Photobucket.

Very cool photos. Looks like you had a great time!

Well at least you were allowed in Padron.

They lost me as a customer for life with their antics today. I'll stop myself there.

Padilla on the other hand has a great new shop right on calle ocho where they plan on doing all their rolling in the near future as soon as permits come through, so says the guy behind the counter. Padilla was great and I will be a customer of theirs for years to come. Got some 68's and Miami's to enjoy. Padron's loss was Padilla's gain today.

For the life of me I couldn't find Fuente, LGC or Pepin. That just sucked personally. Fuente is down here isn't it? I am sure the others are.

Fuente is in the Dominican Republic.......

Sorry to hear about your trouble with Padron....what the heck happened? Come on, spill it....

I've yet to try Padilla; only reason I didn't go to the store...that & a pregnant mrsreindeer to deal with who let me go to three already!

I'm curious as hell to know as well. Padron is kinda out of the way from the others and not on Calle Ocho.

I once caught a bit of attitude from a guy at Sosa, who said Pepin had closed his store and tried to sell me his own cigars, but nothing enough to make me write off their cigars for life.

To write off Padron for life, they must have really pissed you off.....

did you get a chance to cross the street and visit El Titan de Bronze?

No Ferdinand, unfortunately...I'd never heard of El Titan before & since the pregnant mrsreindeer was kind enough to let me hit 3, I figured I best not push it.

Seriously, so what the heck happened???

I can understand all of your interest. To be brief I went over to Padron but found all of the doors locked and to only be greated by an employee who simply stared at me through the glass. Their was no signage to indicate the purpose of the doors nor response to me asking if I was in the right place. To be honest I thought that I had somehow stumbled into the section of Padron that has no public access. After seeing the OP's pictures I obviously wasn't as I could see the things through the glass he took photo's of and thus my earlier anger was even more piqued.

As I feel their are always two sides of a story I feel it is best at least in such a public of a forum to leave my comment at that and what I stated previously. I already feel as I said too much and maybe should have an admin erase my comments as I feel wrong for saying anything at all. If any mod or admin thinks it right feel free to erase both this and my previous comment.

I'm sure Steve can attest that I am full of stories and this one will only add to the arsenal. I guess you'll all just have to wait for a good ol herf to hear my complete side of the story.

Cheers

I can't help but wonder if you were in a closed store with a Padron sign, as Padron is over on 1st Ave, close to the Orange Bowl in Miami.

Anyway, sorry you had a bad experience.
