Hey guys, quick question...

I have been looking around for one of these sticks to review, and can buy them online for about $30/stick...

Now I have no problem paying that much for a stick to review, but I have also run across a Salomon (mostly on CBID) of the same name...those are QUITE a bit cheaper...

Now, my spidysense tells me that despite the description of the cigars, these are not the same stick as what was in the original humidor (which held 15 Robustos, 15 Torpedoes and 15 Churchhills), but I really don't have any idea...

Any help would be helpful :)

Thanks!

I have several and after i received the Salamone's i quickly realized that there was an exclusive 1932 oscuro line that as you stated was quite pricey. I've had the pleasure of smoking one of these, and it's almost akin to a Cain F on Steroid's.... One of the things I love about Cain's is the complexity of the Cigar.

It's very woody, spicy, creamy, VERY FULL Bodied, FULL STRENGTH, Lot's of Smoke, and a long lingering aftertaste! PM me and i'll send you one for your review! :computer: :thumbsup:

The new Salamon is a legitimate 32 oscuro allright (I have some resting) and they go for closer to $15 on cbid instead of $30 (probably because they get them as exclusives, as CI is now the official US distriibutor of Padilla cigars).

But of course these are the Padilla-rolled sticks, and don't command the price of the old Pepin-rolled ones (just like the current production natural 32s are so much cheaper). And to my knowlwdg these Salamons are the only 32 oscuros this year--no humidor sets like under Pepin, at least not that I've heard of.

I have not smoked one yet, as they are HUGE and it's freezing now. But rest will do these some good anyway I have no doubt. The reviews/comments I've heard so far is that they're good but probably need some humi time (seems to be this year's theme for good cigars, lol).

I'm happy to trade you one for review if you want!

Well, that is just it...the Salamones are not expensive at all (not even close)..so that leads me to believe they are not the same blend/wrapper...

Any ideas?

Hmmmm....I wonder if the other blend would be worth getting a 5ver then....

Thanks for the info!

A five pack of the 1932 Oscuro is $100.00 but check this out:

Graycliff 2-Pack Sampler + Padilla Signature 1932 Oscuro Limitado Salomon 5-Pack

You get Graycliff Profesionale PG & Turbo 2-Pack for $30 (a $36 value) + a free 5-pk of the Oscuros

I bought this deal 3 times and am loaded up on the 1932 Oscuros. I have not smoked one yet.

You can thank me later :ccowboy:

If you can FIND the old ones, get some. They'd be two years old now at the youngest and I'm sure they're awesome.

The current regular 32 is the exact same cigar as before, but I really can't say for sure about the new Oscuro.

Ernie Padilla made a humidor a few years ago called the Signature 1932 Oscuro Limitado Humidor. I has 15 each Torpedos, Churchills & Robustos. Sold for upwards of $1000 when it came out. I've had a few of each at one time or another and it really was the pinnacle of what Padilla released.
Looks like this:

Agreed Rob. I had a few of those and they were outstanding. It was before he became a CI house cigar maker.

Great, so they are different then the Salamones that are on sale now (which I assumed, just wanted to make sure)....

Looks like I have to pick up some of the originals :)

Good luck Brooks. If I had any left I would send you one but those are long gone. New stuff pales by comparison.
