    Well, I have been doing the Padron thing for about a year now. My taste buds seem to like them so far...mostly the 6000 series. Also, I have tried the Cohiba (USA variety) Vigorosos. They are pretty darn tasty! I've been smoking cigars for about 6 or 8 years now I think, and fav past time is deep sea fishing. Anyway, hello to all.

    PS. Why the business question?
    Padron's are great. A constant favorite for me. I dont think we are judgemental characters here so don't feel to uncomfortable about telling us about your adult film biz.
    Welcome, again, from DC, again

    To be fair to the cigar merchants, the cigar prices they charge may not be high, the Cal TAX RATE on tobacco is high. I believe it’s around 47%. So yes, that would apply to North and South.

    I dunno about 100 anos, but the scariest price I've ever seen in a store was $53 for a single DC Maximus .

    Basically, if you live in Cal, buying cigars is strictly an online game . I like to window shop in the B&M's and buy a single cigar now and then to be polite, but a guy would have to be really rich (not me) or really ignorant to buy quantities from even the honest merchants.

    What a shame, hurting the honest B&M owners! Isn't Arnold still incharge there? I heard he had to shut down his smoking tent. I wounder if he has the veto power on some of those laws or bills?

    Welcome from Northern Indiana! The land of lake effect snow!

    You'll like the group here. Very honest and trustworthy, if sometimes blunt, BOTL's here. The grounds are kept clean and dishonest jerks are generally run out on a rail. It's THE best place to trade on-line IMHO. Be honest, candid, and well mannered in your dealings here, and you'll find this site at the top of your favorites list.

    So then...trading my unopened box of glass top preban Cohibas for say...3 boxes of unopened Padron Anniversary stogies is out of the question?...

    Just kidding in case you didn't know.

    Thanks for the welcome!

    A glass top box of Cohiba's!

    Why didn't you say so! I'll start the bidding at $100! Hey shag, you better get 'em while they're hot!


    *Tongue out of cheek*


    Yes, many here take the sport of asshat baiting to whole new levels!
