I like Padilla smokes too. The ones I have had have been great and I have a few Obsidian's resting in the humi now. Wonder what the deal is?

Ironically, the older Padillas in my mind weren't worth the price they were asking. They were good cigars, but the retail prices were in the $8+/cigar range (for the 32's and Miami's). But the new blends, while their "official" retail prices are still pretty high, with CI (and it's various outfits) selling them on "deals", they are now about $4/cigar which makes them very reasonable.

It would suck if this was just CI dumping their inventory since now that I've kind of gotten used to having Miamis and 32's at $4 a pop, I'm not sure I could stomach paying twice that for the same cigars. Most likely, I'll just go back to smoking 601s for my daily Pepin fix.
