    I emailed in 2 weeks ago and asked this question as well. Andy got back to me and just said they are having some issues with the manufacturer and they will hopefully have some in again. I was pretty dissapointed when I couldnt find these in a box to. Lets hope whoever needs to resolve whatever needs to be resolved gets it done soon so we can get some of these.

    the reality of it is that when you have a solid product, but it's not diversified, you WILL run into trouble somewhere. don't worry, someone like JR will buy the company and keep some blends and ruin others but all under the same name and labels.

    Alright, everyone at Ccom should pitch in and buy the company.

    This is exactly what I don't want to happen.

    My dad always told me if you don't have anything nice to say to not say anything at all. When it comes to Padron let's just say I have nothing to say.

    You aren't missing anything in my opinion. I am not a Padron fan either. If I want a Padron, I will get a Nica Libre for a lot less and have, in my opinion, is a better tasting stick. Most Padrons have a heavy earth / musty taste that I don't care for, I prefer a little spice and fuller body

    To me, a Padron is basically as good as it gets. Their anniversary cigars (1926, 1964) are truly elite, and their regular line (such as the 3000) is a fantastic cigar for the price.

    They make excellent cigars, and I hope that continues. My B&M owner says He just got an order with no problems. He has not heard anything.

    In one of the catalogs Ccom printed Alex said that they are fairly 1 dimensional cigars.

    one dimensional... maybe, but it is a good dimension imo

    Exactly! Cigarobsession did a review of the Padron Delicias Maduro, he said the same thing: a bit one dimensional, but he liked the dimension! The 1964 maduro (I'm in love with it) is far from one dimensional, btw.

    Haven't tried the '64 maduro yet, but that's been my experience with the natural. Damn fine cigar.

    I don't think Padrons are anything like the Nica Libre. The 64 is one of the best cigars I've ever had. I've had one bad padron... tasted like a cat peed on it, but every other one has been fantastic.

    I will be the first to say that when it comes to Padron I am absolutely biased. Form your own opinions. They make a great cigar but I am so biased personally I would not know.

    I have only smoked one Padron and I added it to the taste like goat's a$$ thread. It was the worst cigar I have ever smoked and made me feel like I was licking the inside of a dirty ashtray. Now I have only had one and plan on trying some of their others and maybe re-evaluate my position. I am pretty sure the one I had was a 2000. It was a brown label in a robusto size. Needless to say I won't be going out to stock up on these.
