I smoked one of these from GMan whilst watching Training Day 
And I must say, it's my favourite non-cuban so far, construction was pretty good and consistent throughout, I ashed it 3 times, it could have probably held a pretty long ash if I wanted to do that sort of thing 
It was very quick and painless to light, great even burn all the way down, no issues at all, perfect and uniform.
It had a nice draw which was just right, with copious amounts of smooth tasty smoke.
No huge flavours or nuances jumped out at me, but there was a few there, and they were nice, I'd have to give it more attention to nail down what they were, but I'm not too worried about the lack of strong flavours for what is for me, a very good all occasions great value smoke, I was more interested in smoking a nice cigar to enjoy my movie by, so I didn't really give it as much attention as one would for a proper review, but it was so unexpectedly good, I thought I'd write a quick review.
And it was a good value smoke that was perfect all the way through, of the non-cubans I've smoked so far, not that I've smoked a vast amount of them yet, but there has always been something in there that has turned on me, or a characteristic not to my liking has reared it's head, which detracts somewhat from the experience, but the fact this was perfect in every way to the end, very smooth and tasty all the way, makes it my favourite non-cuban so far, there was literally nothing bad about this cigar in any way.
It was one of those cigars that had all the qualities that reaffirmed why I enjoy smoking cigars, not bad for the money
I will almost certainly acquire a box of these in the future.
Thanks GMan for introducing me to it

The Padilla Miami is nice, nice, nice...and the 5 Vegas Gold is meh...just goes to show you how different ones tastes can be! (Another reason I don't take too much stock in CA's ratings 
)
