    The Padilla Miami was made by DPG in his Miami factory. Ernesto Padilla decided to open his own factory in Miami and move the Miami production to his factory and pulled production from DPGs factory. However, to date, Ernesto has still not been able to get licensed to open his factory so he has been subing out the production.

    To further what maddy said, the two, Ernesto and Pepin, collaborated on a number of blends as I understand it. They kinda parted ways in the cigar industry due to Ernesto wanting to remain more boutique and Pepin having more mainstream goals. Something like that anyway...maybe someone with all the info (Alex) could pop on and give us the scoop.

    Alex, whats the latest on Ernestos factory in Miami. Sam Leccia was telling me about the issues Ernesto was running into trying to get licensed. Sam was also saying he refuses to call his nUB a nub miami unless it is actually made in miami and thats why production has been put on hold until Ernesto opens his factory.

    See, back in school, I couldn't handle all the history and geography. But when it pertains to cigars, you have my complete and undivided attention. Tell us more oh wise and knowledgeable Alex.

    maduro, Licensing is underway and I think the bond is done. He should be up and running this month. The first cigar to have production is going to be a maduro version of his Miami line with a San Andres wrapper. I smoked a few and they were delich!!!!

    Uh oh...I already can't get enough of the Miami, now a maduro? Tell me Alex, is it anything like the current Miami, only with the maduro profile added into it? Also, is it better in your opinion?

    I actually find it to be milder than the natural miami personally but it has a great sweetness. These are going to be very pricey cigars I think which is the only drawback but they are tasty.

    Interesting. Nothing wrong with milder in my book, as long as it delivers the goods.
