Padron Help

[Gawl]

I ordered a box of 1964 Corona's and was informed that someone beat me to them. I got offered a deal on some other boxes but need a little help deciding. I'm torn bewteen the the 1964 torpedo's or the 1926 no 35's, both natural. Thoughts? I do prefer smaller smokes, not sure if the no 35 is too small though. I also plan to let this box sit in storage for a year or so.

If it were me I would take the #35's.Both are great smokes tho.

I'd go for the #35s as well.

Why consider the 64 torps if you are a small cigar smoker? Personally I'd go for the 35's (regardless of natural or maduro). I'm a PC smoker myself and I don't think they're too small. A great 45min-1hr smoke.

Get 'em both. You won't be disappointed. If you can't afford both, get the '64. I love the '26's but their not worth the price difference in my opinion.

This man is wise and speaks the truth. One of the best cigars I've ever smoked, and I do mean ever, was a natural '64 torp with about a year of down time on it. Just blew me away.

Call on one of our many member/B&M owners and get yourself a sampler............Then make up your own mind what you want a box of. You know how it is. Different strokes for different folks.

I'm going with Doc on this one. I loves me some 26's, but when it comes down to price point, the 64's never disappoint. In my opinion, yes the #35's are a good short smoke, but personally mine always become too hot because of how small they are. Just my .02. Now, if it were down to maduro #35's vs. natural 64's, I'd take the maduro all day.

At least this way, you can share the 64's with some of your friends and have a nice long conversation about how great they are. :whistling:

When I say small I mean smaller than church hills

Think I'm going to go with the torps as I really like the 6000 which is the torp. I have a few 1926's and 64's that I haven't tried yet. Thanks for the replies all.

edit: The box I had ordered was maduros, those are all out though. Its and autographed box which is why I wanted to grab it.

Mmmmmm! I have a box of Torpedo's from May of 05 Tom........May just have to break one out tonight. :love:

Compare them to a '64 Principe for the price and you tell me......

'course I have a few 35's in the humi and most of a box of Principe's.....

I think you should PROMPTLY send a few along so I could compare them with the one that floored me a year or so ago...... :laugh:

Blaze one up and enjoy....I predict you'll be amazed..... :thumbs:

I think the 64's are a better smoke than the 1926 #35. I have smoked a few 35s and a LOT of 64's. I have never had a 64 dissapoint me, but most of the 35's have.

I agree you get more bang for your buck on the '64's but personally I prefer the 35's. The 64's just don't do it for me, at least from what I remembered since it's been awhile. Then again, I don't smoke Opus's anymore so it could just be me.

I got the torps, my biggest fear was with the 35's getting hot too fast. Thanks all for the help, appreciate the insight.

Good call, imo! Like I said before, the #35s got too hot too fast for me. Enjoy them! :thumbs:

 

[Gawl]

I'll let you know how they taste in a year

I plan on socking them away as I'm taking a cruise in May to Alaska and want some good smokes to take with me!
