I'm also a big fan of Padron cigars, I find that Padilla cigars also cater to my tastes, mainly the Miami, 1932, 1948 and Habano. I don't know that I'd say they are similar to Padron in anything but being made from Nicaraguan tobacco, but both brands hit the spot for me.
Well, I have three in contention for favorite. I love the Signature 1932, 1948 and Miami equally. All three offer something a little different from the others and do it in grand fashion. So yeah, three favorites actually.
I got the 32 and 48 coming in, can you give me a snapshot of what you think of them?
The 1932 is full bodied, I'd describe the flavor profile as a bit woody with some pepper in there...hard to describe actually, as I've never tried to pick apart the flavors of that one. The 1948 is more medium-full, leaning towards full, and I get a lot of leather from it...again, hard for me to describe it specifically because I haven't really thought about ti while smoking. I think more than anything, they've got that "Nicaraguan" thing going on, and that's the taste/aroma that sells me.
Nica Libre. Same wrapper as the anniversary, similar blend, made a mile from padrona factory and you can't argue with the price.
alex- Does Ccom have any plans to offer this cigar?
Ya might call Tim and see if this is one they have, but don't have a large enough quantity to put on the site. I've noticed they do have pretty often. I may call him next week and see if they have them and how much a 5 pack or a box would be.
