This is a great stick. For some reason, the 1926 is the only Padron line that I like the naturals almost as much as the maduros. Strange, but all their others it's maduros hands down.

Although for this I would say the Padron 40th Maddie is worth every penny.

I like the 1926, 1964, 80th and 45th Anniversary Maduro's. Or Naturals. I like any Padron

I also like the Fuente Hemmingway Maduros (Best Seller, Short Story, Work of Art, Signature and Classic) and the Between the lines.

In the ultra premium range? I haven't found any cigars that are worth that money.
in the "super premiums" (12-15$) I'd say Padron 1926 Serie Maduro is very good.

I Haven't Found Any Padron Annys In The $12-15 Range. I usually Pay 15-20.

Greg,
There should be a few for you to choose from around $10, give or take a dollar or so.
You should be able to get either the 64 Principe or 35 '26 for sure in that price range.
The Monarca is usually around $12.
The rest start getting closer to the $12 to $15.

The '26 get closer to and over $20.
The '45 are running $25 to $30 in my area.

Give Bill a call at Island Smoke Shop in Key Largo.
I am sure Bill will hook you up where even after shipping, you will be way ahead on price.

To me the one that was really worth the price was the Casa Fuente Churchill . But thats just me .

[cigarmonkel]

Can't say i personally have smoked anything that i have paid over 20 dollars for. Closest i've come has been PAN64's, Ashton VSG's, Tat boris, drac and other hard to find cigars but retail for tops 18ish.

So for the 20+ dollar range i've got nothing for ya but when it comes to your "not an everyday smoke" my top faves are as follows:

PAN 64
Tat Boris/Frank
Any Illusione
Cruzado (a new found favorite)
have yet to try a 26, 80th, esg ect ect.. i just can't bring myself to drop 25 bucks for one cigar. Maybe someday though when i have my walk in humidor in my bedroom with 46inch 1080i tv in it *starts day dreaming*

I have found that the majority of CCs that I have smoked were overrated, but I wouldn't make a blanket statement and say that was true of all CCs.

Why snobbish? That's his opinion..smoke what you like, like what you smoke.

I have found very few "premium" NCs that ever lived up to their hype, but I won't make a blanket statement either.

Nice! I can get them for a few cents less for singles with my buyer's club discount at Tampa Humidor (they go for $9 on their site).

The only cigar that I have ever paid that much(+$20) was a AF OpusX Shark that I think I paid $21(?) for.... Have not smoked it yet, so no idea if it was worth it....

[Volt]

Hmmm 1 stick for $20 bones or more or 2 - 3 sticks I like just as well. I'll take the 2 - 3 sticks every day and get more smoke time. Maybe raised to frugal....

Too many very good cigars on the daily deals for $4-7 for me to go the big $ ones that I have found not that much better.

NC:
- Forbidden X Lancero
- Forbidden X Toro
- Padrón 45th Anniversary Maduro

CC:
- Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva (these are an incredible f****** cigar, and I wouldn't regret paying the price for another single or two).

Habanos Torres 20yr Lancero's. I am a cheap smokes lover, but the Habanos Torres Lancero's are worth every penny.

[kenstogie]

I had a 5 year old Opus X that was actually a gift but was absolutely fantastic and worth $20
