Based on this thread they do seem to have a small following at least, and i certainly enjoyed mine, with the Artemis being the Standout of the bunch. Will definitely buy some of the Artemis next time I'm building an order, and will try some of the others mentioned in this thread also, as couple were mentioned by more than 1 person, and got good praise.

I friggin' LOVE cigars
It's not just Padillas, many other cigars fall behind the times. The American cigar market tends to favor the newest and latest, but I've always wondered if they're any better than the older stuff. For instance, the old Perdomo Habano Maduro was INCREDIBLE. Unfortunately it was discontinued and replaced with the Bourbon aged Maduro, which I don't care for at all!

It's funny how some cigars become staples, like the Vintage 1990 or the Undercrown. While others just disappear, like the Padilla Habano or remember Pinolero from AJ - never tried it, but I'm sure it wasn't bad.
