You have tasted the high end of medium on what they offer. You can go for the top or you can discover the fantastic
cigars in the Padron regular line. For a couple bucks a pop, you can't find a better cigar outside Cuba, and sometimes
I am not even sure the Padrons aren't the 'hands down' best. I don't smoke many of em anymore, since I am filthy rich
and super-famous but I know quality and taste.

I'd put Tat right up there with Padron.

I chuckled a bit at the bolded(assuming you're being sarcastic).

And as much as Padron will deny it, they do use a Mexican wrapper, its been an unspoken but known thing for a while. And it especially became clear to me last night when I had a 64 Exclusivo, after smoking a bunch more Mexican wrapper cigars you can taste that distinct Mexican flavor in em. Not saying it takes away from the cigar in any way, still in my top 3 favorites.
