Padron 2000 aging conundrom

Never had a bad one in terms of flavor, but my gripe with Padron is the size of the caps. They are tiny, and sometimes not put on very well. You need to be very careful cutting them or it will unravel. It's easy to cut off too much.

very true. Not sure why they're so stingy on the caps.

I have a box of 2000 that is from 07, problem is they were left out on a submarine for a few weeks. Now they are shrink wrapped and were still spongy after all that but the fact that we treat our air with Amine to keep CO2 levels down did not help the case. They still smell like ammonia! Maybe I will bite the bullet and give them a try. (Who the hell would throw them away?)
