I've heard of a change also, but the only way I could be sure would be to smoke one of the new ones. I've burned plenty of the old ones, they're one of my favorite Padillas!

They used to be made by Pepin. They recently changed rollers. I haven't tried any of the new ones. I also like the older ones.
Here's a link.

No longer a Pepin cigar...........Ernesto also went back to the original Oscuro wrapper. Not as stout, but a fuller flavor cigar.

CI is the exclusive distributor now. CI can fuck up a good cigar better that anybody else. padilla sold out and fired his sales staff including 1 of my friends. I know 99% of you guys go gaga over CI but they run a slimey operation by buying premium brands and re blending them into nasty shitsticks . Mark my words ,padilla will be a bundle shitstick in under 3 years

This is what I was afraid of. I picked up a torp in Dallas over the weekend for the ride home and then was looking to buy some online and kept getting mixed signals. The ones in Dallas were the old ones and so I called and they knocked a little off and are sending the rest of the box. I asked him what he knew and he pled ignorant but he's gonna throw in a new one so I can compare.
Too bad - these were great cigars.

Yep, that's it for them. To bad. After all the press about opening a new place in Miami and all that shit with holts I thought he was going stick to it.

Was just going to comment on the Holts thing. So maybe they knew something way back when?
Edit: So CI is the only place to get Padilla now? If so, no wonder they have been putting them on special like they have been going out of style.

That's what I was wondering about too - like maybe there was two sides to that little dust up.
