    Be careful what you ask for, Tony. I can recall a few instances in the past where certain brands/blends were ‘brought back’ but were never as good as the original. 

    The Padilla ‘68 was one of them. Another was Rocky’s Fusion and his Vintage 1992. And I’m sure the list could go on.....  🧐

    Agreed.
    The Padilla Miami is one that comes to mind, that I loved and then they re-blended it and it was never the same again.

    They are getting harder and harder to find! 
    I found some 5 packs on Mike's cigars for $25.50 plus shipping, so I ordered some. LOL!
    LMAO I bought 2 5rs last night from there!

    If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience :D

    @VegasFrank. What did you think of the non Jacob's Ladder?
    Now this is not the end of the cigar. It is not even the beginning of the end of the cigar. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the cigar.

    It was one of the best habanos I've had @Far_North_64.  If you like habano wrapper, then you'll definitely like this one. I'm not with @peter4jc because I like the Jacob's Ladder better, but I'm partial to broadleaf.

    That's a pretty good recommendation. I'll look into getting some. Thanks

    If anyone knows who still has the robustos in stock, let me know. I'm not dry begging. I don't want you to send me any unless it's a full box.

    I've bought boxes for $135 to $150. Would pay more than that but not sure how much more. Thanks Edward.

    That's a little better. Good cigar but not $9-12 a stick good imo.

    price goes up when supply goes down. ccom code HOLIDAY19 for 25% off orders of at least $200, 20% off $150, 10% off $99
    EDIT: code HOLIDAY19
