"And that covers everything from Padrons to Pirates" Well, to be honest, that's not a very big range, LOL.

Thanks Brad. I've gotten so sick of arguing what you just said with people that I don't even bother to mention it anymore.
I think the last time I mentioned it (on another forum) it went 140 someodd posts with people arguing back and forth over it. Everything from cheating to unnatural to trying to explain the differnces and why and if only people realized how many manufacturers did this, they'd probably change their tune or stop smoking maduros alltogether.
