This is where I thought a new guy could ask some stupid newbie questions.

I have only been smoking cigars for about 14 months and before coming here only tried 8 or so different types of cigars. So excuse my Newbness.

For the record

I don't want your sources or your wife’s cell phone number, just a few questions to help a guy figure a couple things out.

Here we go.

1. I have never smoked a PAM, what the hell is it? I think its a
Padron Aniversario "M" but nobody ever calls it by its real name so I am clueless.

2. Average shipping time for habanos from either Spain, or Swiss is.......


Thanks for the help.

PAM is the Maduro, PAN is the Natural. A week by airmail, plus or minus a day depending on how far in the sticks you live.

PAM as opposed to PAN, which you'll also see a lot, and I'm sure I don't have to explain.

Also note it should be followed by either a 1964 or just '64 or 1936/'26. The 26s are rarer, more expensive, and have been aged longer (those are the main differences. I'm sure moki will step in and say the binder is grown on the SOUTH side of the hill as opposed to the WEST side or somesuch :) )

As for #2, I have no idea what a hubano is. And I'm SURE you didn't mean something else.
 
I if I wanted to buy a box of PAMS what would be an average price?

Also I have found some sharks but the price is upsurd at $30.00 each

Which Padron is prefered, the bigger robusto or the smaller coronas?

Thanks.

Its tough being a newbie cigar whore.

Habanos :laugh: :p

I have about 7 boxes coming in ATM and they are all about 9 days out. Just curous how much longer I was going to have to wait thats all.


Padron Aniversario Maduro Diplomatico for $300.00 is that too much?

Padron Pricing and Sizing Info: Link

You might want to consider picking up a variety of sizes and taste testing first before dropping $$$ on one particular vitola.
 
Thats better pricing than what I posted, I figured that if I bought them and didn't care to much for em there would be plenty of guys here who would take em off my hands. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the awesome link.

A Shark is an Anejo #77. There is also an OpusX "Shark" but these are rare.

Padron Serie 1926's are NOT PAM's nor PAN's. The PA is Padron Anniversary. The 26 does not fall under the anniversary line, it is a separate line, the Padron Serie 1926.

PAM's and PAN's are Padron Anniversaries which are the 1964's.
 
yeah moki's got it covered if you ever wanna drool on your keyboard.
cigar porn at its best as far as im concerned.


:love: :blush: :love:
