I really like the 68's, the 32's and the Habanos. Been finding them on cbid for great prices.

I have however, noticed an increase in Padilla sales on both CI & CBid. Is it just CI having an inside track with Padilla or are they trying to dump some inventory?

In the meantime, I'm gobbling up as many of the new Miami's as my coolers can hold. Those are damn fine cigars--in my opinion, better than the old Pepin blend.

I just snagged 20 Miami robustos from Cigar.com's daily special (5 for $20).

I like Padilla smokes too. The ones I have had have been great and I have a few Obsidian's resting in the humi now. Wonder what the deal is?

Ironically, the older Padillas in my mind weren't worth the price they were asking. They were good cigars, but the retail prices were in the $8+/cigar range (for the 32's and Miami's). But the new blends, while their "official" retail prices are still pretty high, with CI (and it's various outfits) selling them on "deals", they are now about $4/cigar which makes them very reasonable.

It would suck if this was just CI dumping their inventory since now that I've kind of gotten used to having Miamis and 32's at $4 a pop, I'm not sure I could stomach paying twice that for the same cigars. Most likely, I'll just go back to smoking 601s for my daily Pepin fix.
