New cigar coming down the pipe from Padilla. Anyone heard anything?

All I know is what Ernesto has posted on facebook, which is not a whole lot more than the final prototype for the band and box art. I really enjoy just about everything from Padilla though so I am looking forward to this one.

you're kidding! Getting rid of 3 good to great cigars, instead of discontinuing the Obsidian? This must be really good, or a really terrible marketing plan.

I agree with Amos, if the want to cut something, Hybrid and Cazadores would have been my first choice

Hey I liked the Cazadores.

Hey I liked the Cazadores.

Yeah, I do too, although from what I've seen of other folks opinions there may be some consistency issues. The ones I've had have almost all been quite good, but it has sounded like maybe there were some underage ones that got loose.

I don't understand it either, really. 1932 (thank God the 1932 isn't discontinuing), 1948, and the 68 lines are very dear to Ernesto and it was his way of honoring his father. Padilla is one of my favorite manufacturers, but I don't understand why he's not getting rid of the Obsidian, Achilles, or the Hybrid.

I love the 68. I wasn't in love with the 32. sounds like i need to revisit it.

he just released the final band artwork and it has a Lion on it, not a Stag. Colors are brown and gold and it's a really nice looking band. It looks as if all his stuff is going to have a lion on it.

Just wondering where you saw this? All of the recent band designs I've seen (variations on the lion band) have had a second band that refers to the Legacies line.

do a friend request on Facebook. he's got the artwork in his pics. he just posted it the other day.

Bummer. I like the Dominus style band, but the previous artwork, with the Stag on it, was awesome.

everything new looks like it's coming with Lions. I have to say that I like this brand associated with Lions more than I like the other. Of course I speak of La Aurora. Just can't get in to their stuff. Maybe I'm not looking in the right direction.

Tried the 107? 107 Lancero? 1495? 100 Anos?

dennisking

my B&M had the 107 on release day and I picked 2 up. I was pretty unimpressed. I would revisit it but probably in the lancero. Everything they do is so mild and my palate doesn't pick up a lot of the subtleties. I'm working on that but it will take time.
