Padron differences

[Brickhouse]

Hey all, had my first ever Padron yesterday (Padron 2K) and loved it. It got me to researching the rest of their line. I'm pretty familiar with the 64's and 26's based on all the reading I've done on this site (no hands on yet, lol).

My question is this: In the Padron line, what are the differences in all the types. I.E. 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, Delicias, Fumos, Londres, Palmes, and any others. From what I can tell it's nothing but size. But I just wanted to check.

Any info on this is appreciated, feel free to add any other good info about Padrons as well, I have a feeling these are finding a permanent spot in the rotation.

As a fellow Padrón whore I'll give you my thoughts on the 000 line.

As far as the tabacco goes its the same through-out the line, its the sizes that make the big difference in taste.

I love the 2000 maddies for a go to stick when I don't have alot of time, the 3000 naturals are great for taking a walk or putzing around in the garden. And when I don't feel like grabbing an expensive stick for an evening smoke that needs to last for at least an hour and a half 4000 and upwards meet the bill.

I like both the natties and maddies of the 000 line and regardless of which one you choose you won't be dissapointed.

I find that the wrapper quality can differ between cigars in the Padron line. I think the wrapper quality in the Executive, for example, is probably from the same tobacco batch, but it's just the better of the leaves when compared to the wrapper on the 2000.

Also, I think that the reason that I have much much more consistent success with the 6000 is that Padron is typically assigning torpedos to be rolled by their more skilled or experienced rollers. I also think the price difference reflects the extra labor and wrapper selection. Personally, I've found that while they have similar characteristics, the 6000 is the most consistent of their non-Anniversario line.

Interesting observation on the 6000!

Do you prefer the 6000 over the Executive even though, as you point out, the Executive is made from the best of the leaf?

No no, I wasn't saying the Executive is better than the 6k. I think the 6k is still more consistent, I was pointing out that the Executive uses a typically better wrapper than the 2k. I haven't smoked all the vitolas, just the 2k, 3k, 6k, Magnum and Executive, so I'm not a huge expert on these, but from what I have smoked (and I have smoked quite of few of those sizes), that's what I've observed.

Aside from the 64s and 26s, I love the x000 line, especially the 2000 and 3000 maddies. For some reason the 6000s really didn't appeal to me that much. Granted I've only smoked 2 of them but both times I'd have to say so-so at best. Maybe after resting a while in the humi.

As far as the Fumas, go, they are a decent yard gar, but I'd rather smoke Roly Torpedos :0 :whistling: Not that it matters much anyway, word is they aren't making the Fumas anymore.

Good observations, TYFNS. I agree. The 6000 is the only cigar of the "K" line that I fine to be consistently attractive with oily, flawless wrappers. The rest of the "K" line can be downright fugly. But I love 'em all anyway.

Hmm, I was just thinking it was a size thing, with this feedback I can see this is not necessarily the case and I need to get the others in my humi as well.
