Greedily tore open the package today and had to stop. It wasn't a box of Puros Indios Maxima, it was a box of Padron 4000 Maduro (retail on TNT is $153.00). Now, I know most people would say "A box of Padron for 50 bucks? You'd be crazy not to keep that!" And I kind of agree.
Then you don't know the members of this forum very well, but you're beginning to show your true colors.

If you would have approached this with a different attitude then I'm sure there are some members that would send you a couple to try or would have traded with you.

I would call them and let them know what the problem was. If they make it right by letting you keep the Padrons or by shipping out what you paid for along with something for your trouble, then your problem is solved. If they ask for the Padrons back without any comps on their part, I would not do business with them anymore.
