Padron

[MichiganM]

Yeah I was 18 and didn't have much money. Before I had the Padron I had a really dry Henry Clay a few weeks earlier, a horrible HdM Excalibur, a really bad Royal Jamaica and I think I had a Macanudo somewhere in there. Then I had the Padron.

That thing turned the corner faster than shit falls downhill.

Of course you can always be flexible and she lets you build your own herf shack, cigar lounge with all the trimmings. I can live without smoking in the house. She lives with my satellite dish, surround sound, easy chairs, wireless connection and my own space. Its a nice trade.

Padrons Rock!

I used to dig the PAM's the most when I smoked them. Then I went to the cheaper cuban variety :yes:

yep you know I brought it up. She said she wanted to use my cigar aluminum ashtray to prop up a plant! I told her that was fine I would just put my cigars out in the plant!

temperature went down for a while.......:argue:

but I eventually caved and admitted defeat excpet I got my ashtray back and the plant fell over! :rolling:

I ended up adding two 5 pack from Famous during their sale in January. I also found at CW someone selling a 25ct box of Londres (M) with 3 years of age, shipped for $50.00. Also added a 26ct box (new box and look) of the Londres (M) to age as to me they are not very good fresh. I might add some 3k (M) during the next time Famous offers the five pack sales. Otherwise, I have all the Padron right there I need. The fumas are discontinued and no one seems to have inventory around.

Without a doubt, I think the 64's are my favorite nc. I could smoke one every day without getting tired...kinda like a favorite song that you could listen to or a movie you could watch over and over...........:music: :smokingco

I have a box of 64 annis at home, but to be honest, I think I prefer the Maduro Churchills. Spicy, smooth, never had a bad one. Can't beat the price either.

Back to page one, I in my opinion don't think many people could tell the difference between a 26 and a 64 if the bands were taken off.

agreed..

Nice bump Steve, I missed this thread somehow. I've been meaning to pick up a box of the xooo's for a while now.

Can't comment on the 26 or 64 lines as I haven't bit the bullet and purchased any. I like the 2000,3000 & 6000's always found then to be one of the most conistant cigars in terms of blend and quaility.

I would say the reason is that the 26 is aged a year or two more, I believe. I notice a stronger cigar with the 26, whereas I experience a true "cream" cigar with the natural 64's and a tempered spice with the 64 maddies. I would agree that the 26 is more expensive, but I can taste the difference b/n the smokes

I don't get as many opportunities to smoke as I would like, and I often spend those opportunities trying a new cigar but wishing I had just grabbed a Padron x000 maduro.

I've settled on the x000, El Rey del Mundo robustos, and Davidoff Millenium Blends as my regulars. I also like AVO XO when I'm in the mood for something lighter, and Punch Champion when I need a short kick.

Hard to be the londres maduros when it comes to flavor and price. Problem with the PAMs is they're so damn pricey (about $40 a stick up here), I fret over firing one up. Geez, even the 3000 was $20 at the B&M last night.
Cigars are supposed to be relaxing. I don't need any more stress.

I hear you. Have you considered online? Cost is about 1/3 of what it is for us at a B and M. Can get Churchills for $100 CDN a box.

Yes, online shops are your wallets' best friend (for now). PAMs can be had for $7-$14 / ea and x000 series from $3-$6 / ea. There has been recent changes to the law that has the potential to change this though - so stock up while you can.

Yep. Same here.
