So, I've post in the past about the Padilla Miami 8 & 11. This is a GREAT smoke for around $11 or $12. Very Cuban like, and full of flavor. However, of late I have found the wrappers are much lighter in color and not as dark/reddish brown which I personally prefer.
Hi Doc,I just picked up 2 last night due to all I've been hearing about this about this stick.Smoked a hybrid and it was quite tasty so I have high hopes.

I imagine they will be worth it. I'm always finding something NOT to like about any given cigar, but not these. I've been satisfied with them through and through. I recommend trying one of the lanceros if you can get them - a pleasantly tight draw that really channels the flavor well.

Thank you for trying our Padilla Mimai 8/11 blend. If you enjoy the falvor profile of Cuban cigars I think you will agree with other cigar smokers who have tried it and enjoy it greatly.
They are made by only nine Cuban rollers in Miami's little Havana so production on these is limited.
Our other blends such as the Hybrid and Habano are made in the Domincan Republic and Nicaragua. The Hybrid has scored a 91 in the past and the Habano has just scored a 90 in this issue of Cigar Insider. Each blend is unique and I hope you will find a cigar that fit's you palate within the Padilla family of cigars.
Regards, Ernesto Padilla Padilla Cigars Miami

Tried the Padilla Habano Churchill. Well it was "outstandig." Between the Habano and the 8&11 slight difference, w/ the 8&11 w/ a bit more complexity but the "Habano," was GREAT. I would rate the Habano 92 and the 8&11 a 94.

I just looked up the price for the Padilla Habano Churchill (around $6.00 a stick), I thought this was error or mis-print. If this is truley the case, I would have to say that for this price it is the BEST bargin in TOWN!!!!
