I'll be on the next trip to Nicaragua in may. We will be guests of don pepin Garcia. I'll ask him directly and tell you what he says.

Enough 3rd and 4th person reporting here. Why not invite him here to post on his own?

Why not share the Asylum? Would love to hear from some of your smoking buddys.

I'm with the muscle-bound guy for the win!
Smoking an 01 RG CE right now, with ZERO draw problems.
My local crew will tell you that I report 20~30% of Cubans have draw issues, but I've never met a RG that performed poorly.

I have had draw problems with maybe 5% tops of the CCs I have smoked, but I will take a 95% success rate for my preferred tastes.

In all fairness, my crew laughs at my estimates...
But then again, they laugh
AT me often.

But were these plugged cigars produced for the B&M (aka La Casa Habanos) or the internet shops most people buy from?

17/16 of 93% of stats listed on public forums are unreliable.

OK. So why did you start this thread?
:-) The title says "stirring the pot". Was that your intention? Just curious.

When the concept was introduced on other sites there were very polarized reactions. Some near violent. But that forum was a bunch of a-holes who basically all had the same opinion and were ruthless to anyone outside of that. So I figured if try it here on a much more respectful crowd and see the results. I knew the potential for the topic to be volitile therefore the title. But the purpose was always to see what others thought. Everyone at the lounge I go to agrees with me on this but I'm finding that as far as the internet forum crowd goes we are a minority. That in and of itself might be telling. The guys at my lounge are not big into the internet forum. Not into internet cigars. Could all be attitude and personal perception. Either way. For the guy who thinks there is a difference if there is not or for the guy who thinks there is no difference if there is.

Ok. Here is my thought. I am a big fan of everything Padron makes.
Most of my Padron purchases are made at the local B&M, because he has great prices on Padrons and a nice shop I can sit and smoke in. I have purchased some Padrons online and find them to be the same excellent cigar.
