Default padilla obsidian

In and endless run of med to full flavored maduros is the obsidian. Middle to lower end of the pack of the good ones.

Its the classic maduro cigar which is rich and blah blah blah blah. Coffee. Blah blah blah

I do like them and they are good well made cigars (for the most part. Once in a while in need to double cut to get a decent draw). And I smoke a ton of them. But they are, like the graycliff 1666, unremarkable. And my mood is a little grouchy today so I know this is coming off like they are crap. But its not the case. Unremarkable just means very common. A lot of things are very common because its good and people like it. But they won't love it is my point I guess.

3.3 on the legend scale. Good smoke.

Just got a box of these off C-bid for $34. Can't wait for them to get here. I like 'em.

A great cheap smoke, but you must rest them. I always have a smoking bundle and one behind it getting ready.

Yeah without a little rest they tend to have burn issues.

These get much, much better after six to nine months of resting time. A lot of the burn issues go away, too.
