  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

buying just for the good deal

I bought a box after only trying 1 stick and been disappointed. Still hoping the sticks age into something like the 1st one I tried. Of course, I've done this with a different box and been well pleased. If you don't like the Padillas, I'd be in line for a 5er or two.

I bought a box of the Padilla's also, and am looking forward to recieveing them. What I think adds some drama to the 1932 is where are they rolled? New ones are not rolled by Pepin, and the Padilla factory in Miama has not started rolling yet (end of 1st quarter I'm told by Padilla).

They are currently being made in Hoduras or Nic. I hope with the same wrapper and blend. But we'll see.

I have to admit I was somewhat dissappointed to find out that my new Padilla Miami are not rolled in Miami.

The Padilla 1932 I just won on CBID look amazing (haven't smoked one yet). If the box of 1932 I recieve look as good, I'll be happy on delivery day (and looking forward to lighting one up).

I am only against buying full boxes if either ye have no idea as to what to expect because ye have yet to try any from the brand or blender, or if ye're just starting out and yer best bet is to try as many as ye can. However this is mere advice, not to be taken as law. That said, of course I'll have the Drac if I can!

am i the only one that does this? i saw the reference to the Padilla 1932s in the deals thread, and read a bunch of reviews of the stick. after reading reviews and seeing that it was listed quite often in the 2008 want list thread i ordered a box. i've never even smoked a padilla! :scratchhe
They are a good stick, but if you don't like them let me know I will take them off your hands.

I do it all the time. If they are quality sticks, someone will like them.
at least i'm not the only one. i think that i have OCD a bit. i just started smoking cigars seriously a 1 and a half months ago, and i've already filled a 125 ct humi and just received a 16 bottle wine cooler yesterday. :help:
