Has anyone been to the new Padilla factory in miami? I read that they do tours and let you watch the rollers and hang out and smoke cigars there. Sounds pretty fun, and the best part is, I can drive to it!

    I wonder if they would rent me a room in the back?
    I love Padilla's. Except for the Obsidian.

    If it says Padilla on it and that is NOT followed by Obsidian... then I love it!

    The obsidian isn't quite as bad as the achilles...in my opinion. They are both bad as far as construction goes, but the obsidian has a slightly better flavor.

    I'll be there at the end of February. Also plan to go to Oliva, Perdomo, maybe Oliveros just because I'm right near it. Would also like to see Torano, Camacho, and Padron while I'm down there. It all depends on what the others want to do but I'm within 1-18 miles of 17 cigar shops that I'm aware of. Needless to say, I'm counting the days.

    My family is planning a trip with some other famiies we grew up with in March. They are all meeting up in FL somewhere, about 2 hours from Miami. I recently got off the phone discussing the trip with my father. When I told him about the facroties there he said he would LOVE to see them with me. The Padilla factory is a MUST see. Hopefully I get the chance to head east to Miami in March and i can bring back some magical tales of adventure for you guys...

    I have a feeling the Obsidian is a good smoke, if only I could invent a device that would attach a constantly burning torch lighter that would keep it lit. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    The obsidian is good with some age. My first one sucked burn and draw wise but the second after 6 months was awesome.
