No. I should sometimes visit B&Ms to try out these expensive singles. At $60 it becomes extremely difficult to justify the purchase. 😀
It's nuts. I'm sorry, there is no justification for it, not for any cigar to cost that much. It's literally a rolled up bunch of leaves made in a country with low wages. Nobody should buy them (at least not regularly) at that price. I saw another Padron Black at a different shop tonight for $72.99! This shop is in the Gaslamp (the nice, expensive part of San Diego), so I1 am sure tent is very expensive, but even at online shops in low/no tax states, the price is unreasonable. Padron used to be a good bargain, with the exception of the 1964 and 1926 lines. The second box of cigars I ever bought back in 2006 was a box of 26 Londreses for $72, aka a single Padron Black in 2025.

If they're still included, I suggest trying them in the CRA Sampler which comes with some other interesting and/or rare cigars, and I think it's v around $200 for a sampler of 10
