Oh, 43 years old, lets see, 44 years ago. Should change my handle to Geezer!, but not the photo, the dog looks better than I do.

What dog? You mean that isn't a picture of you??

Truthfully, I don't remember. If its me, I am more handsome than the morning mirror tells me

Really excited about these 2020 Padilla Miami 8&11s! The original was transcendent and the subsequent attempts have been forgetable. Ernesto claims to be onto the original Ramos-Pepin blend here. We'll see.

I think these might have been my favorite cigars out of Tatuaje's portfolio. Nice score!

Nice score! I still have a few OR partial boxes of these I’m very stingy with. One of very few NC cigars I still thoroughly enjoy. To echo Barry’s comment, these are my favorite Pete Johnson offering. I’m really disappointed that he’s let the line more or less go on the wayside. They are pretty hard to find these days.

Agreed! The originals, before the logo change, where spot on! Wish I still had a few...but back then I didn't have the cigar budget I do now; that is probably for the best!!

Pug, thanks for the heads up, but I was referring to the original release of these cigars; 2008 I think. At that point they had the Fleur de Lis symbol on the bands. About a year later or so (I think) they were forced to change it to the PJ looking one. Not sure if that was a blend change around then either, but I know the ones I had in 08/09 were much better than the ones I had in 2014 with the new sizes. Still a good tatuaje cigar!

Thanks! Hayden told me the same thing in PM. I passed it on to @CigarStone and the bastard bought every last one they had.

Guess I’ll have to console myself with the original release I have.

You get those from Jim (Keystone_Raider)?
Excellent cigar! I want to try these again. I’ve heard they aren’t what they used to be, but I remember when you could put a box away for a few years and they’d morph into a $20.00 cigar.

I have one left from a 2009 box; might have to break it out sooner than later!
