Padilla Miami 8/11 saved my life

[g-smoke]

Just when I thought either my newbie taste buds had taken a nose dive or my humidor was sabotaging my smokes, a gifted Padilla Miami 8/11 corona brought me back to life.

It's been a couple weeks since I've had a smoke that I enjoyed. Maybe it was the RP Sun Grown toros from Cbid that tasted like old straw that started me on a downward spiral, but I've been living in fear that maybe my new found taste for cigars was a fluke.

Then, tonight, I decided to fire up a Padilla Miami that came in a bomb a couple months back. Wow. What a delicious cigar. Not even the near-riot I saw between some dudes hanging out in a park and at least a dozen cars full of cops (ah, Brooklyn!) could take my mind of the great smoke in my hand on my evening walk...

So, is this the Pepin magic I experienced tonight? Are there any other similar cigars I should try, especially given the cost of these 8/11s?

Whoever you are that gave me this smoke, thank you.

Glad u liked the Padilla...they's TASTY!

The Padilla Miami is good, I like the Padilla Obsidian, and I heard raves about the Padilla 1932 and the 68.

Those Miami 8/11's are tasty! The 1932 is a damn good smoke also imo. I'm just familiarizing myself with Padillas as well, but based on the results so far, I'm anxious to continue my experimentation. The Obsidian is a decent smoke for the price as well.

Btw, what part of Brooklyn are you in?

Thanks for the reminder -- I believe I have a 1932 that was given to me as well. Nice.

As for Brooklyn, I'm in the Fort Greene neighborhood, near downtown and not too far from Park Slope.

I know exactly where you are. I work in Sunset Park on the water.
