Padron Serie 1926 have ruined me...>

[Jimmie the Mum]

All I have had are the 64's, but they are excellent sticks...I always taste a hint of cocoa.  Anyone else taste cocoa???

I have a 26 Anniv. sleeping right now, just waiting for the right time to wake it up!

Cocoa / choclate is the taste.

Try the 1964 Anniversario, it's just as good with a better price... I think that my local shop has them for sale on their website:

They also have the 26's...

The maduro's have a sweet chocolate taste and are still full bodied... I wouldn't let them age too long, Jorge Padron recommends that you smoke 'em right away since he's already aged his tobacco a minimum of 3 years...

I had my first 64 a couple of weeks ago, and it only took one. Had to smoke up a fistful of my best sticks to get it off my mind. Now I read this thread--I'm Scared!

The 64 is great and are much easier to find and less expensive.

But the 26 is a world class smoke.  Stands up nicely to just about anything.

If the 1926s have ruined you then I'd recommend staying away from the 80ths [devil]

[Robbie]

Not counting the 80th, I generally smoke either the 1926 #9 natural or the 1964 Exclusivo or Corona either natural or maduro.  I used to smoke the 1926 #1s all the time, but I don't always have time to truly enjoy them...

[Zaphod]

I think I'm in the small minority that enjoys the '64 more than the '26.  A maduro imperial, diplomatico, or exclusivo would be heaven right now.

Haven't had a natural in a long time though...need to pick up a couple.
