So, the Padilla Artemis...thoughts?

Amos Umwhat

Bit on the daily deal, and I'm wondering if anyone has formed opinions of this yet. I'm still questioning the Padilla decision to drop some of their (IMO) better cigars, is this one a worthy replacement? Improvement?

I enjoyed the Artemis, though it doesn't remind me of a Padilla cigar, to me it's more reminiscent of a Perdomo cigar. Good cigar though if you ask me.

That sounds good, I have enjoyed probably every Perdomo cigar I ever smoked, while Padilla has only been about eighty percent.

I have been wondering about this one too, although I have yet to find a perdomo I really enjoy...maybe this one isn't for me but it doesn't hurt to try.

Just got done smoking my first one and enjoyed it. Solid medium body and nice earthy leather taste with a slight sweetness. Enjoyed it enough that I may even consider a box purchase.

I've smoked two of these, both the double perfecto. To me, this is a pretty good but unmemorable cigar. Nice, solid tobacco flavor, and it looks amazing, but there was no Wow-factor for me. I'd smoke it again if I ran into one, but I won't be buying any more.

Decent enough cigar but Dominus was better IMO

I had my first one tonight. It was ok. Nothing to write home about.

Smoking the box press robust now. Most of what's been said is right on. Nice solid medium profile. Some toast, leather, and a bit of creamy sweetness here and there. Solid stick, but not something I'd pay msrp for.

I originally thought this was a just a really good cigar. Nothing outstanding, but a very good medium smoke, to be enjoyed between those times when I can sit in deep contimplation with one of those "WOW" cigars. The other night I decided to knock it up a notch so I poured me a glass of 14 year old scotch and grabbed this beauty to smoke along with my libation of choice. The taste and character changed significantly. The smoke seemed to take on a more creamy temperament and permeated with wonderful flavors that immediatly demanded my utmost attention. Before, I always felt that pairing a drink with a cigar was just a matter of preference with one not really affecting or intruding upon the enjoyment of the other. This cigar gives me a whole new outlook on the possibilities I may have been missing. Needless to say, I now have many of these cigars in my humi and a few bottles of scotch for those wonderful times I want to leave the world behind and climb into my thoughts. I enjoy many of the cigars from Padilla, but none have provided as much enjoyment as this combination of the Padilla Artemis with a good scotch. Good smoke my friend.

My wife bought me a bottle of Glenfiddich, the 12 yr old (cheapest, but still one of my favorites) and I pulled out an Artemis. Scotch is definetely the companion to this cigar! Thanks for the tip, Troutman.

Bit on the E-Mail deal, pretty good in my opinion, wish I could buy more, but the budget-lady wouldn't be so easy to live with.

I got this deal as well. Had to bite, its a good deal money wise,and also a very good stick in my opinion.
