Padron Question

[uptown_isy]

I read somewhere that all their tobacco is aged before its rolled so that their cigars will be ready to smoke right out of the box... I, personally have never had a bad one.

Yes. Regular line is already aged, while the Annys and FRs are aged for even longer.

Padron has a box recycling program. After your done with the cigars you send the box back to them. So some boxes out there are pretty old and there are collectors who collect them,

I've never heard of this, and I'm fascinated to learn more about it. Do you have a link to a collector's site or maybe a club I can join?

I give my boxes to the church lady next door, who happens to be a babe. Her Sunday school classes make all kinds of neat things out of them.

Doc.

Never would have guessed that. I wonder how you would date them.

Sooo, Doc, are you attending sunday school now with the hot teacher? :laugh:

That, right there, is a great idea. Kids need to be exposed to things early in life. Sure, they need to learn about the good Lord and morals and whatnot but have you noticed how many kids only get "introduced" to smoking as a terrible bad thing? It's just a foreign thing many kids don't seem to get exposed to.

My 2nd grade daughter already had "health" unit which talked about "drugs" and what they are, etc, etc. Basically everything is bad for you. "Dad, did you know chocolate is a drug?" Yup, caffiene is a drug, blah, blah, blah. Don't smoke. Don't drink.

I had to explain to her while, yes, caffiene, nicotine, alcohol, etc are "drugs" consuming them in moderation is ok. She made the mistake of saying her dad smoked cigars from time to time and I can bet the teacher just about sent her to the principal's office. Luckily, she seemed to understand the "moderation is key" mentality I tried to teach. Funny how the teachers can't seem to do that.

Don't have to. I get to watch her bent over her tomato plants. I can't begin to tell you how naive she is.

Shes not naive Doc. She just wants to show you her bad girl side. :sign:

 

[The Black Cloud]

Naive or incredibly diabolical? Maybe she's waiting for a check up from the friendly neighborhood Doc?

You can date them with the slip of paper they include with every box....tells you the date and roller's name.

 

[Big B]

Hey Isy, the date on the slip of paper would be the date of the cigars right? IF they did the recycled box thing, that date of the old box probably wouldnt be located on the slip would it?

I'm guessing that if they recycled a box, they would include a new slip of paper with the new cigars, documenting the date and roller of those cigars. I just lays in there. It's not glued to the box.

Right....If the old slip of paper is still in there, they'll throw it away and replace it with a new one.

I didn't realize it until I read an article on the Padron family in Cigar Snob.
