Padron is my go to cigar. Occassionally a touch harsh when young, but once aged 6 months or more, they never dissapoint. However their popularity has had an impact on the auction prices. It's getting close to the point where you might as well just buy on line direct without trying to get an auction deal. Occassionally, I've been able to score on Churchills or 3000s auction in the $3.50/cigar range , but beyond that price it's no longer a great deal, just a great cigar...oh well, I beg you padron... DB
