Hmmmmmmm. Well ain't you a bigshot?

BTW, I bought 2 of 'em just before EPIC HERF II. We did a Puff Puff Pass. Wasn't impressed. Don't think anybody really was.

Yeah nothing to speak greatly of. Typical Padron imo. Thanks for sharing the cigar at EPIC II Scott

My local b&m said they got one box and it was gone within hours. Even if they did have some left, I'm not sure I would have forked over the $$$ to try one. but yeah like someone said, at least Padron won.

edit: ...just looked at the list. Only two CCs in the top 10?

I disagree.

The 45th maduro is the best Padron I have smoked (better then the '64, albeit not by much) and is WELL worth the money they are charging. It is truly the total package. (and is #2 in MY cigar of the year list)...

Is it an everyday stick? Of course not. But as a special stick to pull out every once in a while, it is wonderful...

Just my humble opinion, of course...

If it's not better than the '64 by much, then why such a price difference? I can get '64 Principes for around $8, but I am not paying $25 for a cigar that is only a bit of an upgrade from the '64.

Because it IS better, (again, IMHO) and you pay for that....

But a little bit better is not $17 worth to me. If I'm going to pay an extra $17 it better be a WHOLE LOT better. Not knocking it, just wondering.
