Old Padilla vs. New Padilla vs. Cubao

I like the new Miami better than the DPG blend. I think the flavors are more balanced and is generally a more satisfying smoke now. I'm also not a Pepin whore so take my opinion with a grain of salt (I'm inclined to believe that if you slap something about him on a cigar most people will immediately declare their love blindly, after all, he's the current craze). I do like some of his line, but I haven't fallen head over heels for his blends like many.

Hmmm...I may have to track some down. I LOVE spicy cigars. I can't get enough Habana Leons, Litto Gomez, 601, etc.

I agree, rip the band off a Dutch Masters stick, put his name on it and they will come.
