Miami, Fl., August 30, 2010 Due to the overwhelming success of our new Azteca cigar we have decided to cease production of the highly-rated 3 SLS and Cabinet Selection lines.

Here comes a cigar produced from one of the best in the business, in my opinion. Ernesto Padilla has already created many cigars I keep in my humidor on a regular basis, and I hope this Padilla 1932 continues that trend. Ernesto decided to produce a cigar that was in memory to his late father, Herberto Padilla, who was a well known poet in Cuba born in 1932. Please check out my review of the Padilla 1968 Golden Bear for a more detailed history.

Behind The Stick:
Although I was unable to locate too much information on these smokes, I felt I just had to review these. Not a very well known cigar, the Flor de Cielo line is made by the folks at Corona Cigar Co. and they were nice enough to send me a few of these about a year ago. With all the other smokes coming and going from the humidor I just placed a few of these at the bottom and figured I’d give them a bit of time to set up their delivery.
