I never said they were bad! Well, to be honest, I don't care for the x000 maduros, but the nats are good, especially at just under $5.
They might be an important staple if I were smoking every day, but I don't, so rarely have any stocked.
I will say Padron has the best construction, burn, and draw I have ever come across. There are 2 brands I have never had any construction issues with:
AF and Padron.
Didn't think anyone was bashing them. They are probably one of the best construction sticks out there. Flavor safe good but not my favs.
