La Riqueza

[SmokeProper]

Does the La Riqueza taste like the Padron 1964 to anyone else?

To my palate, it's about the most similar I've ever tasted.

That would be good, i havent tried the La Riqueza so i cant say but i love the padron 1964.

 

[VirginIslander]

Didn't to me. The 64 is tough to beat

There are some similarities, but I wouldn't say they taste alike.

To me, it's a richer version of the 2000.

I have to say no way not at all.

I get some creamyness out of both, but much more creamy flavors out of P 64. I seem to get a bit of spice out of the La Riqueza.

La Riqueza is a better smoke for half the price - 2 cents....:smokingco

LOL, funny you say this as that's how I describe it to all my customers. I feel they are a similar flavor profile, however the Padron leaves a very dry taste on you palate and the LaRicky leaves a very moist feel there. I prefer the LaRicky by far.

I too get some spiciness from a La Ricky, especially the #2--not a ton of spiciness, mind, but a little. I'll be able to compare it to a Padron '64 sometime very soon :widemouth

Comparable, but not exactly similar. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the wrapper and press that helps reach that conclusion.

The first La Riqueza #1 I tried I thought it was a Padron regular line maduro. The next I tried was much sweeter and better tasting with nice changes along the way, almost like cotton candy at one point. I find La Riqueza similar to regular line maduro with the spice and earth qualities but a little stronger and more flavor; but not as strong as the anniversary series which I find too strong and too expensive for what they offer.

Not that I can recall, but I haven't had a La Ricky in a little while.

I was thinking yesterday that the La Aurora 100 Anos torpedo I smoked yesterday (Thanks Jeff) had some similiarities to Opus X. Anybody else notice this? I better go smoke another Opus to be sure.

For the price it's a great smoke, but "64's got the voodoo mind trick going hard to compare.
