The Italia was the first CAO I actually thorougly enjoyed and then I got to the Brazilia which was also a nice surprise with its very rich taste. So yeah, I haven't had an Italia in a while but they were always good

I have yet to try the ESG, mostly because of the price tag. We have one box from 2007 at my shop and we are finally down to around 4 sticks or. They just haven't moved very well at all at our store. Not sure why. But that one box has been there since 07. Anyway, my fav smoke are the VSG so I...

Do you prefer the #6 maduro or natural? I've always liked the naturals better with padron but thats just me.

Yeah, I've had other maduro 26's but not any of the No. 9 maduros. I prefered that naturals when it comes to the 1926 line and then I like both the maduro and natural with the 1964 line.

Has anyone tasted the "fruit like" characteristics in one of these that I mentioned in the review? Dried fruit maybe...hmm...still been bothering me.

oh okay, i see. well i'm glad you guys thought it was alright, thanks!

Was the review that terrible? Any suggestions on what can be done better?

This is my first attempt at doing a review. Sorry the pictures are not cropped as well as some other reviews but the software I use normally isn't working correctly but I suppose you can get the point from these. Okay, well I haven't had a 1926 N0. 9 in probably over a year so it was nice...

You reminded me I have this exact torpedo in my box. I might smoke it tomorrow and see if I can taste the same things you have. The first one I had was a little dissapointing so I've allowed this one to sit in here for several months to see if it helps so I might as well take the opportunity now...

I've only been lucky enough have one of these before someone came in and bought the ones reamaining in the jar. We have only had one jar shipped to us so I'm hoping we get some more someday soon. The one I had was really great. I would have saved the band if I knew I wasn't going to get another...

Agreed with the short story but with the Nub I've noticed you end up taking about as much time as a robusto because if they are smoked too quickly the split on you somewhere around the middle and its really annoying. So yeah, but the short story I had Saturday night was really good. As a matter...

I had a Partagas Black Label tubo yesterday evening. It was so much better than the one I had about a month or two ago. Not sure why but man it was really rich and had all kinds of flavors from coffee to fruit, man it was sooooo good. Sounds like you got a pretty good gift, heh.

That really is weird, it doesn't sound like DPG at all, ha! Sorry for the let down man. All of the JJ maduro's I've had (by all I've really only had a few, I like the blue label the best) were all about medium to full and relatively peppery for sure. So yeah that just seems like an unlucky...

Yeah well I lied to you all...I just switched smokes LFD limitado IV was plugged and not drawing any better so I switched to Partagas Black Label Tubo. Its amazingly good. I just lit it up because I wanted to smoke something and it had been sitting in my box for quite a while now, maybe 4 or 5...

Smoking a La Flor Dominicana Limitado IV Strong but gooooooood I kind of wish I had lit up an Ashton VSG though...of course those are just about my favorite, ha! I'm somewhat biased

That's cool. None of my Padron anniversary blends have ever seem to have a particularly solid ash. Somewhat flaky like a Don Pepin Blue label but not quite as bad. Pepins its like blowing on a dandilion and the little bits of fuzz go all over the place, lol. The 40th has seemed to be a little...

Wow, the construction looks really good. I say that because of how the ash looked. Sounds like you enjoyed it a lot. I'm more a 1964 guy but I do love a good 26. Those 40 years are great. I haven't had the chance to try the 80 year though. Have you?

I smoked a bowl Butera's Royal Vintage Latakia no.1 (2004 can) I'm just using my Duca Carlo author. yum

We've sold those Lancero Samplers and Toro Samplers like crazy at my shop. I smoke the Edge maduro quite a bit. I thought the Winter Blend was sort of a more peppery version of the Edge because they tasted similar.
