The cigarhut (www.internetcigarsales.com) is selling 1964 Padron alternatives. What is interesting to me is that they claim they are made with "the same blends" as the original. They are about half of the MSRP of the 64's. Anyone ever try these things or know what they mean by the same blends? Their prices on AF are, uh, a little steep.

Although this sounds ridiculous, it would be fun to try one - I'm guessing it would bring one many chuckles.

Anyone get JR's latest catalog? Camacho's new line ... The Camacho Negro is being compared to The Padron Anniversary series, as well. I was at a Camacho function yesterday and asked Christian Eiroa about them. He is truly bothered by "the creative copywriting coming out of JR's" as he put it.
The line is exclusive to JR's, and other than the box press, they are two "very different" cigars according to him.
Seems to me that every time a cigar gets a good review in a couple magazines, somebody comes up with a smoke that "tastes just like .... " fill in the blank, and there's always more than enough folks willing to believe it, and buy it!!

Ricmac25 got me hooked on the regular line Padrons. The Delicias Maduro with "a couple year on it" was one of the best cigars I have ever had, and definitely the best sub $5 cigar I have tried. That is the most convient size for me, but it packs so much flavor!
I bought a box to put away for a couple years, but I really dont see myself being that patient. Unless someone magically manages to copy the PAM soon, it looks like I am gonna have to pony up for some.

Nothing like a PAM or a Padron 1926. I find that the smoke is different from these cigars, a little more solid than that from any other cigar I've smoked. This would actually be disturbing if the smoke did not taste so damn good.
Even an aged cigar from the regular Padron line, while the flavor aproaches the higher end cigars, does not come close in the smoke department. An aged Torano Nicaraguan Selection moves in the general direction as well (haven't tried an unaged one, so I can't comment on that), however again, the smoke is not the same.
