Just got a 5er sampler for $10.79 + shipping. After they sit a bit I'll give them a shot.

Make Me an Offer on CI. The sampler is in the "we'll take almost anything" section. My first offer was 8 and change, I'd start off at 9 and see if they take it.

Tried my first Exclusivo tonight (5-1/2 x 50 ring).
Most unimpressed.
Did not remind me of ANY Padron I've ever had, not the x000 series, much less a 1926 or 1964. Actually, it struck me more as an anemic Cuban Crafters Cabinet Selection. Sorta the same coffee/leather/spice, but far more subdued, with all flavor in the forefront & a flat finish. Every so often, I'd get a whiff of chocolate, but it was ghost-like in its appearance & disappearance. Granted, I've only smoked this one, but I have no incentive to buy another. There are far better smokes out there in the same price range, so this one can stay in someone else's humidor.
