My Favorite Cigars- Padilla Signature 1932

bilkay · 01-16-2010, 09:44 AM

First of all, I've said this before but it bears saying again- I'm not as good as many of you at picking up all the subtle nuances of cigars. But, for what it's worth-

I've been a serious cigar smoker for about three years. My experience is limited to non-Cuban cigars.

Over the last three years, I've found the I prefer Nicaraguan tobacco. I like the Pepin branded cigars, and really like some of the stuff he has done for other companies- my favorites are Tatuaje brown, 601 (especially the green label), and San Cristobal (that's a Pepin blend, right?). I enjoy some of the other Pepin blends, as well.

Having said that, about a year ago, I discovered the Padilla 1932. I'm pretty sure the original version was a Pepin blend, but I'm also pretty sure that the ones I'm smoking are not the Pepin blend.

I find the 1932 to be sweet, slightly spicy, full-bodied, and complex- just an extremely well balanced blend.

I buy the samplers from CI and boxes of the Lancero from CBid when I can get 'em. The prices make the Padilla Signature 1932 an exceptional value. For me, they are as good as the Tats, San Cristobals, 601s, and Illusiones.

Never had one, but they sound good.

Yeah, these are a nice smoke, and surprisingly cheap.

The 32 is my favorite of the current Padilla lineup.

I just got a 5er in a couple weeks ago that I won off of cbid for 20 bucks. Can't wait to fire one up. Thanks for reminding me!

I picked up the samlper from CI of 20 sticks for $60, love them! Definitley one of my favorite sticks so far.

I have the new(er) blend not by Pepin.

Have one in my jacket right now that I plan on smoking during the Colts game. This is my go-to cigar for sure. We seem to have a very similar taste in cigars, the other cigar I have in my jacket that I grabbed from the humi is a 601 Green Label
