I've been smoking cigars for over 15 years. I remember buying Opus X when they were 12 dollars. At the time I remember thinking, I've never paid more than 5 for a cigar, but I'll give it a try. They were amazing. I've since switched over to the Fuente Anejo, which has the same filler but a different wrapper than the Opus X, they're also easier to find and less expensive, which is great. So don't presume that you know me, you don't. Don't assume I'm a newbie, because I'm not. As I said, my problem with the Padron 26 was the complete lack of consistency. It was like it changed to a completely different cigar at the halfway point, which is strange for a box pressed cigar, they're usually wonderfully consistent. You also don't have to get pissed off because someone doesn't like what you like, frankly I have no respect for machine made cigars or people who smoke them, yet those people seem to get a free pass on this site, which I find a little disturbing, but I am a grown man and realized long ago that opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one and they should be kept to yourself. Sadly some of you on this site are apparently too young to have figured that out by now.
Cool. Some of us aren't so young....not ancient, but not young.
Funny, I can remember OpusX for 12 bucks too, 'cause I just bought a PL for a little less than that a month ago in my local. BTW, I think they're kinda over-rated, and I rarely smoke them anymore, but I like the PL. Like you, I prefer the Anejo. For a regular Fuente, I stick to the Hemmingway's.

One guy said you were an idiot, others simply disagreed with your opinion of the Padron and asked a couple of questions. Hardly a bashing, from my point of view.
As far as newbie, well, unfortunately for your ego, on this board you are, indeed, a newbie. You pretty much confirmed it in your post. Had your first post been some type of brief introduction, perhaps we would have known something about you, and maybe your point of reference for this post.
