Interesting. My knowledge of Padron doesn't go back that far. I do remember seeing some with black bands, as apposed to the brown bands they use now.
I just wish CI would get some in stock. :/

The factory in Honduras has been around since the early 70's, it was built after his factory in Estelí was burnt down as a result of political unrest and riots.
I believe they switched to 26 count boxes 3-4 years ago.

It may also be worth pointing out that the boxes of 26 are only sold for their standard production line. As far as I know the 1964 series still sells boxes of 25 while the 1926 series are packaged in boxes of 24.

The X000 Series seem to age really great, but the 1964 age mediocre at best, it seems. For some reason I love the 1964's fresh, compared to being aged anything over two years(They seem to lose too much spice, but do turn really smooth). Though, I've smoked an OR 1964 Torpedo and it tasted like cinnamon and cloves, no strait tobacco taste what so ever, talk about refined! Same w/ the OR 40th's - Now... THAT is a cigar to try to beat out! The 40th is nothing short of perfection, IMVHO.
What I'm trying to say is, Padron's kick ass!

To my knowledge Padron thousand series has always come in boxes of 26 and yes, I DO wish CI would get them in again. Those are my favorite go to sticks, the 4-7000 line. Though I've never tried a 6000.:roundtheh
Yea, the X000 series padrons age exceptionally well. I have had a few with 2+ on them and was astounded.
BTW, Serie 1926's now come in a 10 count box. I was told this was a result of the recession as they were having trouble moving boxes that cost $300-450. Makes sense

Interesting :thinkidea :grin:.
2006 Padron FTW. Buy those suckers. I've had a couple of 2-3 year old 2000 maduros that tasted like 64s

They were damn good to weren't they, maybe even better than 64's in my opinion! :cbig:

Until recently, I had never smoked a Padron either, so don't be ashamed hah. I just figured that I would work up to the "upper echelon" of cigars before I dove right in. I don't see any point in wasting that much money if you can't taste the difference on a young palet...not saying mine is refined, but I personally didn't think the one 2000 that I had was all that great, it seemed like it needed aging to round out the spice.

I always pick up at least one Padron (2000 maduros are my usual) when I'm at the B&M...damn thing never seems to make it home though.
