Padrón 50th Anniversary

[jpalamar]

damn...100 bux a stick? I just had a Family Reserve No. 44 with some age on it and while it was GREAT...at $30 bux a stick I had a hard time justifying the cost. I cant imagine adding another $70 to the price tag

You shoukd try a 1926 80th. It is way better then the FR44.

That's a beautiful lineup. Special occasion or just daily smokes?

Fairly normal lineup aside from the 50. $100 a stick is crazy but I wanted to try it just to say I did. I really enjoy the hunt for hard to find rare and limited cigars. Also came to the realization I don't smoke often so dropping a bit more per cigar isn't any more then smoking 5 cheaper ones a week that were only ok.

I will add it to the list. To be perfectly honest, I was a bit disappointed with the FR. I got a good deal on 5 of them but would have been a little upset if I paid full retail. There are many sticks half the price that I enjoy more.

That is a great way to look at it. So did you think it was at least twice as good as a 80th for example?

I wouldn't even compare them. 80th is worth $30 everytime. I loved the 50 but that $100 price tag I can't get past. I'll probally buy 5 or 10 more just to collect though.

What is the difference between the two 50th anniversary sticks? The one I had didn't have a white ring and was only $25.

The one you had was the Family Reserve, I cannot see your image to be sure but that's what it sounds like price wise

I understand your logic!
I smoke too much to follow though. But I'll probably try one down the line if I can find one at a decent price when the time comes.

This one is out of the special humidor and are all serial numbered. They are more expensive because they factor in the cost of that big ass humidor.

I don't think they are the same cigar.

they are not, that's what he is saying, he just worded it weird.
