The Padron "Torpedo" style is so cool.... has a fat middle with tapered ends, so it looks like the cigars one used to see in old cartoons.

Again, IMHO, ANYTHING by Padron is lovely....

Ack! Why did you tell her about Davidoff Millennium Blend Series Robusto? Now there will be fewer for me!

A nod to your Bauza and Padron picks. I'm still a La Gloria Cubana fanatic but those two are fine smokes to be sure.
