Another thing he explained was that Padron, unlike most, if not all, other cigar factories, isn't zona franca, so for them to import anything, especially tobacco, is heavily taxed so it's not even really practical for them to make cigars with imported tobacco.

Thanks Adam. I just expanded my vocabulary. Now I gotta rest my brain:-)

Don't rest it too much, you might start believing in fantasy, rumors, UFOs and unicorns.

anyone tried the La Jugada Prieto? good price and the chocolate, coffee, espresso flavors in the review make this one sound interesting.

What's wrong with San Andres Unicorns?

Thanks, Adam. And I apologize to the Padron's if I've helped perpetuate....

I've found a couple SA's I like, but they are still very much the exception. Viaje's, in particular.

I have not tried these yet but am very interested. I think my next 5er will be some of these.

Have been smoking the Puerta Vallarta Cigar Factory Mestizo Maduros (churchill) with a San Andreas Maduro wrapper. Nice cigars that work really well with 7 Leguas Anejo Tequila...
