fyi, i received my online order of padrons today! i am writing from asia so NC's are a nice change of pace every now and then. as i smoke my first NC in over a year, i'm reminded of how effortless these smoke! my palette is confused yet appreciative of the unexpected flavors drawn out from the padron maduro (tho a bit sharp from its freshness).

i plan to order some hemingways and olivas later this week. thanks for those who have suggested to me what and where to order the NC's.

although nothing can replace my CC's, these babies sure are a nice change of pace. i can't wait to see how the story of flavors unfold as i enjoy a pleasant end to another long day...

Good for you, Arrow. Enjoy.

I remember you asking for sources and getting some good responses. Where did you finally order them from?

Did you order a sampler, or box(es), and which ones?

IMO your choice couldn't have been any better.

Padron, Oliva and AF are my favorite smokes as-well.

hey v.o. i ordered from atlantic cigar where i got wonderful, reliable service. i initially ordered a box of the 3000's but had to settle for the Delicius due to stock issues.

shipping costs ran me a whopping 37 usd, which kinda sucked.

You'll love the Hemingways!

OK, thanks Arrow.
That shipping price sounds something universal. I was charged $39 for a humidor shipped from US and they said that's the price to any place in the world.

i like the delicias, they have a really strong chocolaty flavor to them that i think is a good representation of the padron maduros. They are the best of the regular line IMHO.

whoa, I just made a Padron post.. guess I missed this one.
