    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.

    Padilla Artemis, La Terraza, Legacies, and Cazadores Maduro will be the new lines coming out for Padilla. However, if you like the 1948, 68, or Habano, I suggest you stock up now. Those lines will be discontinued in order to make room for these new lines.

    Here's a link to the news on Padilla.

    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

    I wonder if there will a Padilla "Apollo?" In my daydreams, I've always wanted to offer a line of cigars based on the Greek pantheon of gods.

    I second the amazement that the Obsidian will not be discontinued.

    Make Room? wtf? He needs to teach that philosophy to Gurkha(ba dum...ching), but really i love the 68, box purchase time!!!! Still would love to know more about this cigar, it has the "Dominus" lion on the band so i wonder if it will be a spin of the Dominus, another one of my all time favorites when i can afford them. Ahhh anticipation. But i Agree with yall, cut the Cazadores, hybrid and the mother effin OBSIDIAN!!!!

    Hey I liked the Cazadores.
    Light 'em up.

    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.

    Where did you see an Artemis band with the lion on it? Last I saw the Artemis band had a deer on it, which would make far more sense for a cigar named after the Goddess of the Hunt...

    Artemis has the deer/stag on it. If I remember correctly, they're using the Dominus lion for the Legacies line.

    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.
  • denniskingdennisking Posts: 3,703 ✭✭✭
    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?
  • denniskingdennisking Posts: 3,703 ✭✭✭
    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.

    Honestly, I would be surprised if Padilla really did discontinue these lines. Look at Rockys 1990 and 92 vintage....hes still going with those. Case in point as long as there is good money in it, they will likely keep making it. Even if the cigar is nowhere what it used to be. Although, Padilla did break it off with Pepin so maybe its not so far fetched. I think Padilla would be shooting himself in the foot a bit. Just my opinion.

    Ernesto may take advantage of the Online houses to market some lines exclusively there on the cheap... but he is certainly no Rocky, and has much more... cred.

    1495s are really worth a shot. I'm usually not that big a fan either.

    Like most, I would not like to see the '68 go.
