Anything like padron anniversary - Page 2

I think that the Illusione 68 and 88 have similar profiles to the PAM 64.
But they ain't cheap either.

NO

Tell you one thing: nothing smells like a Padron

Well that is what I expected. For everyone that loves the anniversary smokes, what other smokes do you really enjoy?

Would take too long to list.
I personally enjoy cigars, period. The better they are, the more I enjoy them.
For NC's, a Padron Anni is a great treat that I can never have in stock as they go first.
Other than Padrons, as far as NC's, I smoke 601's, Cubaos, anything from Pepin, Oliva, Torano, Padilla, Ernesto Carillo (LGC), El Titan de Bronze, Avo, Greycliff and on and on.
Under Cubans, any of them that will drag and not be plugged as is my luck generally.

Wow...you just described me to a tee....just never had an El Titan de Bronze.

Love the bolded statement.

Partagas, Bolivar. Anything CC and relatively bold.

Try a Padrón Corticos. The quality of the tobacco is much better than that of the Classic series––supposedly, the Corticos are composed of the same tobacco as the '64 Anniversary sticks, but in a much smaller vitola (4.25" x 32) and cheaper (~$2.00/stick).

papichulo · 03-08-2010, 12:53 PM

buy a 26 #35 maduro to get your fix for $10. I agree about the Illusione, but not quite there.

03-09-2010, 02:57 PM

how about the tatuaje la riqueza number 4? it seems to taste pretty dam similar to the padron 1964, and they can normally be found around 7-8 bucks.

Padron makes no secret of it, the only difference between their lines is the aging of the tobacco. Get some of the x000 lines and put them away for a good long time you should end up with somethign Padron like.

duckmanco · 03-10-2010, 07:17 AM

^^^ Ahhh, but they allegedly make secret about which wrapper gets used on the 26 though.... I love that cigar, but I do think its San Andres.

I have heard this too, but having smoked a good amount of all three lines, I find it hard to believe. The 64's and 26's are just much more full flavored than the x000 line. I don't think you can just put away a box 3000s for 7 years and expect them to gain the boldness of the other two.

same tobacco? sure! There is a unique and consistent flavor across all three.

but same blend? not so sure.

Well, I disagree with most here. The Nica Libre has a lot of similiar flaovers/taste to the 64 (I have never had a 26). None of the X000 apeal to me so I was also looking for an easier on the wallet smoke. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't replace a 64, but is way cheaper and close enough for me as a more daily smoke. And another plus - they are ver inexpensive.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I thought the Nica Libres that I've had were garbage. Not even close to Padron.

I think I may as well.

I am a fan of Padron and if I can find something that cheap that is very similar it would make me quite happy.

Being a Padron Anni whore, I must also try them.
I will do so with an open mind but it is so, so hard to imagine a comparable cigar that is much cheaper.
