  • 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.

Padron 45th Maduro-It Frakin' ROCKS!

Is anybody else getting tired of Padron coming out with an new anniversary stick every year?
I was, cause they weren't all that great lately and they've been too damn expensive....but this one actually lives up to the hype.

I'd pay $25 for one, as a special occasion stick. :innocent:

My shop got these today. Went by to pick up a couple boxes until I noticed they are not giving any price breaks.

$25.80 per
$258.00 per box (10).

Ain't No F'in way I am adding to their pocket.

They used to be a great shop and have great prices. I guess I talked to much about how great they were. Now all their stuff went way up in price and they don't give a rats ass what you think.

That's Ok, if I want to pay excessive cost, there are a lot of other shops out there.

Yea that isn't cool, but at least it is right around the price it is supposed to be even with MI tobacco taxes.. Definitely going to pick up one of these along with an 80th and 40th to do a side by side by side taste test :starrylov

Sounds awesome - I can't wait!!! I've been fortunate to have some of the #44's and they are some of the best cigars I've ever smoked. But tastes change, etc.... We'll see - It was the plan to light my second to last 44 sometime this week, but the planets must be properly alligned. Can't wait to run across some #45's!!!

I bought a Nattie & Maduro, smoked the maduro and was very underwhelmed. I've had 3000's with more flavor and complexity. The 64's are still the best overall but the 26's in the smaller sizes rock. This is just my opinion and worth every penny you paid :)


I will smoke the nattie soon, here is hoping it is better.

Well, I tried to order some today....and did. That was until I got the email, that they are not in stock!:cursing: Why can't sites update and put the notice there. This is twice I have had the same issue with this site. Very frustrating. :cursing:

My cigar shop is like that for all sticks! Con artists. That is why I will only buy singles from them and order my smokes online!

Can not wait to find this stick though. Padron has always made some of my favorite smokes.

Does anyone want me to see if I can get a box from the Leaf? Tim will prob be on later to answer about availability. I know they were coming in. Just not shure I can get a box. LMK. (count me out, no need to get 1 and let it sit next to the 40th and 80th i still have.) I'm starting to draw the line at 12-15 bucks. Yeah I know its a "great" stick, but so are the 50 other "great" sticks this year. Only one dif. I can buy 2 "great" sticks now instead of 1.
Examples.
2 smaller Opus
2 SW MAddies
2 DC MAXIMUS
2 Anejo LINE
2 Limited Ed lfds, Tats, ETC ETC ETC ETC
2 of about any really good stick this year.
ANY way lmk if I need to grab a box for singles only for guys.

Dude, I am with you, but this stick is worth it, at least to me...I won't buy more then 2 boxes, but those I will be VERY careful when I smoke...

Thanks for the review Brooks! I was gifted a maduro, but am trying to find a natural before I try the maddie. I can't wait to try either...you've got me excited!

nice review brooksy.

the same reason some of you guys liked it was the same reason why i didn't. I'll pay 25 bucks for an aged padron that tastes like an aged padron, but this was a $25 padron that tasted like a 7 dollar pepin cigar.

the strength to me was way more bitter and harsh. The tobacco in there supposedly has aged for 10 years! WTF were they using then? nuts!

That said, I'm crazy and I'll still try the Nattie when it comes in. :)

my two pennies

You know, until this one, I never liked the Maddies that padron put out...I can't stand the '64 maddie, but the natural is great...

So, I have a box of natural coming, and I am wondering if it is going to be even better...

:cbig:
