I like Padrons, but I have had some that were of poor quality. The main culprit was underfillng (which some manufacturers advertise as "easy draw"
) which will cause the cigar to burn hot and taste bad. Its a no-win situation and usually results in a discarded stick.
Then again I dont buy Padrons by the box, but if I had a bad box at Padrons price, Id want it to be made right.
