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.

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.
