  • 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.

Wow. I gues we will see if we have two great blenders or whether it was all Pepin. Time to stock up.

Well Padilla's have now become "collectors items" and are now 5x regular value...So I can part with a couple for say 50$ each..:hysterica

Really though, It will suck if Padilla ends up sucking, as maybe that blend may not continue on at Pepin's place.:sadstare: .

He has his fingers in a lot of cigar lines. I was wondering when this would happen.

Well...I have had both the Series '68 and the 1948 from Padilla and both are pretty good. Also the their are other small batch Padilla's not made by Pepin that are good.

It does suck though. The Miami and 1932 were good. Hopefully Padilla's products will stay up like the 1948 and series '68

he'll get it figured out. But it seems it seems strange to just cut ties like that. I'm not sure how much I believe it's all "nicey-nice", no matter what the story says. There are still making pete's stuff and 601, Ashton, etc, etc. So something made it happened.

Man, this is shocking news. I wonder what the "real" story is? I mean, is it just something as simple as Pepin's manufacturing capacity? I can't imagine that's so...

I was just thinking that Im glad I got a hold of some of the 32's recently, but I need to try some of the other lines now before they are gone!
