Padrón 50th Anniversary

[jpalamar]

All I can say is wow! The best Padrón I've had to date by far... and I'm a Padrón fanboy. It had a very easy draw, took a solid 2 hours... maybe a tad more to smoke, and was great from the first to the last puff. I picked up a little chocolate, some pepper but never was it overbearing, and lots of earthy/cedar notes. A perfect burn with only 1 minor touch up.







This is how I ended the night.

Wow am I jealous...

Wish that was in my price range, but I'm not at the point where I could get $100 worth of enjoyment out of a single cigar. Hell even the 1926, which I love, is usually pushing it price-wise for me. They do look sharp, though. Thanks for sharing.

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

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

He does smoke well!!

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 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.

Man, looks like an awesome night with a Best of the Best lineup of cigars.

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
