Anyone remember these, I think they're discontinued.
I was feeling nostalgic about them so I did some research. Turns out they were a AJ Fernandez creation.
I found them to be very nutty from what I remember. Medium bodied.
Anyone have any recollection of these?
Any similar blends to this, found today?
I have recently had the Padilla Fumas Habano which may be similar.Quote:

That's interesting. Surprised why they kept the fumas but not the real deal. I should check them out.Quote:

Can't remember if I had this cigar or not. So no help from me.
I don't think they were anything special when they were available. I just remember being able to pick out the flavors when I was green around the ears. Maybe its an AJ thing.
Thats why I am a fan of Aj back in the day with a Graycliff Turbo (no longer made) first cigar i ever was able to notice a transition. Also a reason why he has blended for just about Everyone!Quote:

I remember the 1932 and 1968. There was another that I liked but they changed, might have been the habano the guys were talking about. Found a review that said the 1932 was discontinued in 2012 but brought back in 2014. Dont remember when the review was written but the guy liked the new version that was brought back. Padilla still has a website with cigars for sale for the curious I liked the 32 and 68 and seems like they had another that had bear in the name. My 3 cents for the day, I do remember some of what I was smoking 10 years ago. maybe a journal would have been a good idea
I usually can't taste the nuance in cigars, but every once in a while I do. When I do, I tend to remember the experience. The Habano was one of those experiences.Quote:

Not sure if I ever had the Padilla Habanos, but I have had the Miami. Great Cigar!!
It seems that Padilla gets little to no love, based on the daily smokes thread cigars posted, and when I asked about the Fumas Habano (which I mentioned in the beginning of the thread since i bought some to try and have smoked them all), since I've only had a couple Padilla's, and it was about 10 years ago, i was graciously gifted a few different ones to try, namely the Artemis Toro, Rothschild Sumatra and Series '68 Golden Bear, and really enjoyed them all.
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!Quote:

The original Pinolero was an awesome somke!! Remember them from when I started smoking seriously in 2012 (ish).Quote:
