Maybe get a Maduro next month if i find them available. This series doesn't seem to stick around long.

I know Emersons always has a good stock of Padron - check out their site. May have to pay VA tax of about 20%, but the good news is a bill is going through to reduce tobacco tax to match around the top 10 lowest states.

I would take any Padron 1000 series over their more expensive cigars. I have never been let down by them.

About a month ago cigar warehouse in Dallas said they got a big shipment in

They definitely seem to be the most popular Padron by far based on availability.

Got my 4000 Naturals in yesterday. Cant wait to try one, but I'm trying to be patient and give them at least a weeks rest, even though only 1 cigar I have ever tried rott was not to my liking, but was much improved after 6-9 months in my tupperdor.

Everything else has always been just fine within a week of arriving. I dont think vendors store/ship really high rh cigars like they used to, where they would taste or burn like crap without a few months to acclimate. They all seem to arrive ready to smoke anymore, so not sure why I'm waiting, just an exercise in willpower I guess, lol.

Wrapper is about a medium brown, so curious to see how much darker the Maduros are given their sorting process.

Plan to keep back the money for a fiver next month and just keep checking my usual vendors, plus the new ones i just learned about in this thread, that apparently have high odds of having them in stock if you keep checking.

Also going to hold back 1 Natural to do a back to back (not literally, more like the Natural for my morning smoke, and the Maduro 3hrs later for my pre-lunch smoke) comparison and see how much difference i notice.

I did this with the lighter and then darker wrapper QDO50's a while back and it was interesting, and did definitely notice a difference.

Thanks for all the great info and recommendations guys. As usual, the members came through for me with their extensive experience and knowledge.

I friggin love cigars

Unless stored wet, Padron is one cigar you can smoke rott

Humidimeter leveled out at 71rh, so should unfortunately probably let them sit a week and test again and repeat until its below 70.

71 just seems like there would be burn issues and possibly a sour/bitterness on the finish.

That said, i didn't get the calibrator i asked for for Christmas, and the mfg. Says +/-2%, so i dont know if mine reads high or low. Will hopefully get it for my birthday. If not, I'll just buy one. They are relatively cheap.

I really love the 4000 naturals. I think they really improve by putting them down for 6-12 months.
