Quickie addition: Padron Maduro 2000 and 3000... More anon, but suffice it to say the less expensive 2000 is a better maduro, at least from my viewpoint. The 3000 has been reported as better, but except for perhaps the first quarter I have to disagree. Further my 3000 sported a rather loose and spo...

And now: the Rocky Patel The Edge Missle Maduro... It's Christmas so I presented myself with a bottle of Jack Daniel's newish green labelled Straight Rye Whiskey, 90 proof and on sale at a measly $21. Made from about 70% rye, 18% corn, and 12% malted barley, then run through JD's ten feet of charco...

Mad for Maduro...
Cigars are surely an acquired taste... Each of us have different tastes. Over time I have found myself gravitating toward nice rich Maduros, medium-full in both body and strength. Here's my short list: Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona Brick House Maduro Sancho Panza Double Maduro Oliva Serie G Maduro Kri...

I'd hoped more of our regular posters would be active (after all, we have thousands of truly great posts) but it seems that my presence is needed. Glad...
