Also, I'm in a position to get a box of old (black and red) Churchills for about the same price as a box of Cubao Churchills. Which one to get?
IMO, the older Padilla Miami's were spice bombs. I mean green and black pepper was about the only thing I could taste. I have smoked a great deal of DPG's cigars and I found the Padilla Miami's to be the most harsh in regards of spice. Some people love that, some don't. But that's my take on it. The newer Padilla Miami's have lost some of that spice and unfortunately some of the strength as well.

The Cubao's are really good and have a creamy/chocolatey taste that the Padilla Miami's did not.
