Padron Question

Picked up 2 5vers of the Londres on Cbid right after I posted this and got some responses. Tried a couple last week, not bad! A little thinner in RG than I usually go for, but I was still a good smoke. Have 8 left, gonna try to let at least 4 of those age 5-6 months and see what they do.

I did the same about a week or so ago. It's a pretty good smoke i have to say. Like you i like larger RG, but this was pretty sweet

I have read that all padrons are exactly the same blend with the 000 series being aged 2.5 years, 64 ann 4 years, 26 ann 5 years and family reserve 45 ann 10 years.

Does aging tobacco then rolling the cigars as padron does differ from rolling tobacco and aging the cigar?

I guess my question is... If I age some 3000's for 3 years will it taste like a 26ann?

I have heard the 000's age very well but the ann do not as they are already aged. The question is how well do the 000's age...

They are not the same blend.
The Padron Series (Thousand series) is one blend, '64 Anniversary is another, Serie 1926 is another. Even the Reserve '45 is almost the same blend of the 64 anniversary series with "a little bit changed" according to Cigar Aficionado.

Thanks. Someone said they spoke to Jorge and he said they were all the same blend. I have been wondering if this was true. Would have been nice if some aged 000's would taste like a 1926...

Try the 1964 PAN's & PAM's, and the Serie 1926 (Mad or Nat)...they're really great cigars...

I like the 3000 and 6000 a lot. Do not try the 1964 or 1926 lines though
