Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

I took a chance on this deal at CI http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...7-M-10&cat=167
as they pulled the old bait n switch 2 months ago advertising the Oscuro and then giving us the Corojo. Well the Oscuro showed up and it was everything I thought it would be. Nice sweet maduro flavor, chocolate with a little spice. Great smoke all around. I might have to pull the trigger and get 10 more. At $3 a smoke you can't beat the price. I can't wait to try the Padilla 32 Oscruo. :tu

Notcie the difference in the wrapper color between the Corojo and the Oscuro

Damn that maduro looks mighty tasty!! :tu

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

They're for real now? I saw 'em in the catalogue, but was still bitter over the bait and switch before. Maybe I'll have to reconsider...

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Damn, 10 for $30 is a steal on these. I just placed my order!

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Damn, that is a deal! They look yummy.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

JoeTownHound handed me one of these yesterday... I think it goes down tomorrow!!!

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Too tempting!!

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

I had to pull the trigger on this one. I'm also a bit bitter about the previous switch, but hell, for that price I can't pass it up.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Hard to pick a loser in this lot...

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Has anyone received these yet? My order shipped today, but transit time here is about a week. I'm curious to see if they replaced these with the corojo like last time.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Got mine yesterday...Oscuro arrived!! :tu

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Sweet. Now if the postal system will work its magic I will have some next week sometime.

Have you smoked one yet?

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

I picked up some of the 32 Salomon Oscuro on Joe Cigar last week. I may have to pick up some of these 68's as well.

:dr

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Not yet...letting them rest a bit.:ss

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Got Mine, Today, And, Yes, They Are The "Oscuro"!:tu

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Sweet find. Just need to wait for my paycheck.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Those '32 Oscuros were the BEST deal I've ever seen on Joe ... amazing.

I had another '68 the other night and like it quite a bit, I might have to grab some Oscuros if they come up again. 10 for $30 was a good deal (I don't see it on there now, though).

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

The link in the first post in this thread is still active. They are showing "In Stock," too. :)

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Just ordered 10, used the CI free shipping code too.

:tpd:
I skimmed through it earlier, but with the free shipping, I had to go ahead and bite.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

They'll be here today (free next day shipping is awesome), one of them won't live past tomorrow's tailgate :D

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Let Us Know How They are, Mark! I'm resting mine for a few weeks!:)

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Any quick reviews yet? I'm going back and forth between these and something else...

aj

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

I left before the truck came, so I haven't had a chance to burn one yet.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Well this reminder just cost me $59.98. Damn, already got 10 of them a couple of weeks ago but who can resist 20 more of these for under $60, can barely get decent bundle stix for that. And of course free shipping helps a lot (link above still works). They can now lay in the cooler for a nice winter rest.:wo

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Glad We Could "Help", Dave!:r:tu

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Everyone is getting a great score!

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Just let one burn. Had to let them rest a bit because the current weather is freezing all of my cigars when they arrive. Man... this blows the regular 68 out of the water. Awesome burn, and tons of flavor. Little harsh at the last inch, but I was over 90 minutes of happy already. Just picked up 10 more. :D

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Thanks For The Note. How Long Did You Rest Them?:)

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

About 11-12 days. I was going to hold off longer, but I really wanted to smoke one. Oh ya, really oily wrapper too :D

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Just smoked my first one and ordered 10 more. These are completely different from the non-maduro Series '68. They are rich, chocolaty and really flavorful. For only being in the humi for about 2 weeks, it burned great.

If you haven't jumped on this and like a big maduro, this is a steal.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Glad I got these!!! :tu

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

not exactly the same smoke, but same family.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

KUMAR!! How's it going, bro? I'll send you a PM in a second ...

So how was this '32 Oscuro? I scored a few of those myself, but am letting them rest because it's to frickin' cold in Ohio to smoke something that big, lol.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Nate;

all I am going to say about this cigar is that it needs ALLOT of time to blend; if you want it tasting like the 32' lancero. Solid dam stick though.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

I got mine yesterday!!!:tu

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

I got mine a couple of days ago. Leaving them alone for a few days to rest from their travels and to allow me to recover from my stupid cold.

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

Finally ordered mine and got them today. And All i have to say is WOW, for the money it a freakin deal. Very creamy with chocolate flavor. Which i was surprise how strong the flavor was. This must be one of They best bang for your buck cigars i have. I'm definitly going to order more before they pull this deal down. I think i found my go to smoke that doesn't make my pocket lighter.

Thanks for the link:banger

Re: Padilla 68 Salomon Oscuro Limitada
 

just placed my order last night :tu :ss
