    You won’t have Chvymn99 to enjoy them with but should have a couple showing up either tomorrow or Friday. Looks like they were on Omaha today.

    I bought a couple of these obnoxious things for the family golf outing this summer. One should last 18 or 36 holes.

    They are 8”x 80. I will be curious as to how they burn & if they have any flavor.

    jtstromsburg it looks like your cigars are logging a few miles bouncing around Nebraska. Good ol’ postal service.

    I enjoyed this Partagas. It was a nice little smoke.

    I had one of these last Sat. I really tried and tried to find something about it I liked but could not!

    Sad, but true......paid almost $20 each for two of them. :picard:

    I haven't had good luck with padrons. I have tried others and not enjoyed them either. I think maybe my expectations are set way too high just to get past their price point..???

    I left the unsmoked one with the people I visited and also bought another for him. He had it one Tue and said it was fantastic! It's been years since I had one.

    I managed to get in a couple of orders from the bid site also. Looks like I should be seeing a delivery soon! But, man oh man does that michigan excise tax ever add the $$ to the order total! :doh:

    What is it that you like about them ? Some folks say they have a very peppery flavor.

    I did not like anything about them. Yeah, it was peppery. I should have bought a couple maduros. Just thought I'd give a padron a try once again.

    I ended up cutting off the ash and relighting it a couple days later to give it another chance (or should I say give me another chance) No luck.

    I believe I like the Reds, Blues & the Partagas better than this Nicaraguan. Maybe it’s because it was windy outside or the flavoring I put on my supper.

    I have 5 more to sample so they will get a fair trial.

    I am rapidly starting to dislike some of these Drew Estates because of the over the top sweetness of the tips. The sweetness started to wear off about the 1/2 way point.
