Padron to add a 60RG
 

Looks like Padron is going to be adding a new size to their Padron 1964 Anniversary Series.

6 x 60 rg "No. 4"

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I saw this today on FB. I for one am excited about it, even though the "clown" cigar naysayers will say otherwise. But hey, they will sell the sh!t out of them and I bet they will be great!

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I heard it a regular production of the Smoke Inn 15th anny cigar.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

In the article they allude to that, but say it is a different blend and taste.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I dont think sell to well.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

60RG.. Really?:rolleyes:

I'd buy Padron Anny lanceros

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

My guess is they sell like hotcakes.

Padron has the reputation of making high quality cigars that sell very well so I can't see these being any different.

It's no secret that within the US, demand for larger RG has been trending upward for sometime now. IIRC I was reading an article the other day that Diamond Crown was the first 54 RG cigar and that was only in 1995, so I can't see it being too much of a deterrent.

I for one would rather smoke something with a smaller RG but I'm Canadian :p

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

It probably will; a lot of people seem to like the larger ring gauges...

While I tend to smoke smaller cigars these days I will probably give these a try. I had a couple of the Smoke Inn specials and they were pretty good.

I've never had a bad Padron and most of them are quite excellent.

Just my :2

Now that is music to my ears!

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Superiores or Coronas. As close as it gets anyway. They seem smaller than 42rg with that press. ;)

A 60rg '64 model will sell just fine. Just like the 60rg 7000's. The '64 Imperials are 54rg and the '26 No. 9's are 56rg so a step up to a 60rg in either line isn't that much of a stretch, imo.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

We're waiting for the 70 RGs! Hehhawhehahwhaw!!

:D

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

booooooooooooooooooooooooooh. Less 60rg more lancero!

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

i just cant get into the 60 rings.


much above 50 and i dont like how it feels in my hands. ive been a huge fan od coronas and lonesdales as of late.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Isn't the No. 4 a 42 x 5 :D

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

There are certain smokes in 60RG that are wonderful, others not so much.

The '64s are betting in medium ring guage, 40-50, and the 15th Ann. tasted much like a '64, but was not the same - and not in a good way.

Yes, would love to see a '64 lancero.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I'm not a huge 60 RG guy either, but the Smoke Inn SI-15 was my number 3 cigar of the year last year. This cigar (if it's the same) is fantastic.

here's the review I posted on Asylum awhile back if anyone is bored and wants a read. http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...ghlight=Padron

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Padron might be the only 60 ring cigar I'd smoke, but that's only because it would be box-pressed and I trust Padron to deliver what I pay for.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I know a lot of guys here don't prefer 60RG cigars including myself but that size does sell very well. If it didn't Padron would not be throwing their hat in the ring. I believe this stick started out as a limited release for Smoke Inn and the Maduros sold out pretty quickly if I remember right. My guess is the frequency in which these were sold was enough to catch their attention and realize they are ignoring a big corner of the market. I know in my local shops they will sell out quickly as do most of the 60RG sized sticks. To the average consumer I think they feel they are getting more for their money when comparing the price of a 60 ringer compared to your typical Toro or Robusto.
As much as some guys like to hate on the 60RG I think they are here to stay as the market for them is very strong.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Actually, this is good news, as my girlfriend's cat Smokers has been asking about a premium with a 60 RG.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

:tpd:


This will be a "wait and see" for me.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I'm shocked. I'd have never guessed they'd do such a thing.....

......:D

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

The SI-15's were awesome, and continue to get better. I managed to gather up a pretty nice pile to tuck away.
I'm glad they're tweaking the blend away from the SI-15 blend, I'm hoping it'll be a more standard 1964 profile, not that the SI-15 wasn't excellent.

"Padrón has made a 6 by 60 Anniversary before, but it was a special release for a retail shop. Jorge Padrón said this cigar would have a different blend and different taste."

I'm with you guys, I'd go apesh1t over a 1964 maddie lancero or a 1926 maddie lancero. Even the nats would be phenomenal, not that I'd bother with them. :D

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I have a thought on the trend toward 60RG-and-larger cigars, but one of my new year's resolutions is to less abrasive...so I won't.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I had to double check to make sure that it wasn't April 1st.

I still enjoy a padron anni now and again but I doubt I would grab a 60rg one.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I'm holding out for the 64RG. ;)

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

You and Bozo. ;)

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

:r Missed that one! :r

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Laugh, Tom, but on the tour Friday I saw a 7x70 at one of the manufacturers' places. It is experimental, but...very real.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

There's a JFR 7x70 already out. Not sure who makes it.

I don't know who this pretty lady is, but she is about to smoke a Perdomo Immenso, a 6x70 regular-production cigar.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

7 x 70? damn. makes my jaw hurt just thinking about it.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Oh, the humanity.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Wow... This makes me :pu

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I hope they box press these new ones. Honestly, the SI-15's are stellar, even if they are ridiculously sized. I wish I had at least 20 more put up.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Honestly haven't been overly impressed with Padron.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Good.


More for ME! :r:noon

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

So that's where they all went!:D I've been trying to find these for sometime now. Guess I need to make a roadtrip to your house Scott!

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I am no threat to your beloved jaw breakers. I'll be busy scooping up all the dainty little coronas, panatellas, and lanceros.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Looks like shes done that's before.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

As my favorite cigar maker, I think this is one I will sit out on. Bout to take the plunge to the other side anyway. Anything 1964 is always amazing.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

They are a threat to you though.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

How so?

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

Instead of making 5-6 lanceros or little coronas they just make 1 60 ringer.

More demand for larger ring gauges means less demand for the sizes you like. Why would cigar makers want to make cigars that are not in demand? Look what hsa is doing...

Guys, remember that crazes like this pass. Candela was once the favored wrapper for cigars in America. Anyone making tons of Candelas anymore? no.

When were candela wrappers the favored wrapper?

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

The SI-15 was a great creation and looking forward to the new 60RG. The SI-15 maduros are gone and I'm sure the naturals won't be long behind. Plus this with the new Number 4, we should be able to get them locally.

Re: Padron to add a 60RG
 

I believe late 50's to early 70's.
