PADRON 1926 SERIE - 80 Years

[kingcohiba]

that cellophane troubles me kind of. i hope that they have decided to start doing that with their cigars. stopped today to see my dude tony at the shop and told him there have been some with cellophane floating around. he said the ones he just got in didnt have cellophane. never has he ever seen any anniversary edition with cellophane. and those 45th family reserves didnt have it either. makes me wonder why they wouldnt put it on their newest cigar if they were going to use it? weird!

I think something's weird about this too. I'm going to look into it a bit more so that TJ doesn't end up smoking worms when he lights up one of those bad boys. Unless he likes worms, but between you, me and the CoH banner, I think worms are more BJ's thing anyway.

I called Padron and asked about this. They told me that some boxes have cellophane and some don't. It depends on the box. They recycle their boxes and if the box is in the right condition the cigars are placed in the box without cellophane. But sometimes the box and the lining and cedar divider are imperfect and the cigars are safer being shipped with cellophane around each individual cigar.

Put A Cello On It!

Jeez! For a couple of so-called yanks, you're both kinda' simple minded, IMO, of course.

Most cigars sold in the good ol' USA (all N/Cs) come with cellophane on the weenies! A few don't, for instance, the Punch Rare Corojo Rothchilds (no relation), but most do. I asked more out of curiosity rather than concern over the authenticity of my lushish Padron 80th Annirversary purchase.

But that's just me, BJ, BJCoro, a simple but honest hombre trying to scrape out a living in the glorious State of Mind, Mexico!

[TJCoro]

You mean the toilet!

Finally coming out of the closet, eh? I suppose UKCF should feel privileged that you chose a NC discussion thread to make your announcement.

Why do you think they call him BJ?


Yo! It's me, fuckin' Ray Jay, Ray Jay Coro, and mabe Senor Larry and BJ should arrange a herf...if ya' knows what I means.


Birds of a feather, If ya' askz me!


(Ahem!) A bit of a sticky wicket, don't you agree, gentlemen?


That's not bad, ya' stupid looking dawg smiley, but leave the comedy to the pros!

[kingcohiba]

we just want the best for senor coro!

It is just new to me! Never seen it that way on padron anniversary cigars before. And I have smoked hundreds of them. The box I saw last week the box press was very sloppy too so I do think that what I saw last friday was a counterfeit padron. You will know when you smoke them. Anxious to see what you think of them! Make sure to try that 45th....way better than the 80th imo.

[cohibaIV]

Punch Rare Corojo!!!

Yes, and one tries to palm them off don't they!?!?!?

[kingcohiba]

actually punch rare corojo does come with cellophane now. even the rothschild

[TJCoro]

Thanks for nutin'!

Well, Pardon Me, SenorCheapIV,

The bugger you smoked was a toro or something like that. It pales in comparison to the rothchilds, which I don't believe you've had the pleasure to enjoy.

BJ, BJCoro

Look who's talkin' senor "it's in the mail" broken promises!

A stogie in the hand is far better than one in the post!

(Hurumph!) I sure there a good reason the lad hasn't delivered on his generous offer.

[TJCoro]

You Don't Say?

actually punch rare corojo does come with cellophane now. even the rothschild

Really??? Even the 50 ctn Cab?

The last one I bought didn't.

But then again...mine were made in Mexico

BJ, BJCoro

[TJCoro]

Who Do You Trust?

Make sure to try that 45th....way better than the 80th imo.

WTF!!!!

That's news to me!!!

Everybody around these parts said the 80th anniversary was the top dog.

BJ, BJCoro

I told you boy...never trust a limey!

...or a brit!

(Hurump!) Shocking! Absolutely shocking! You two boobs owe this forum an apology!

[kingcohiba]

HEY NOW!!!

I didnt try that 45th until the next day! Backtrack and check out the time line here! haha The 80th was top dog of padrons until I tried the 45th. So far I am the only guy I know of who has tried it yet. My regular shop has not even got this in yet. Weird as they are the first to get all the cool stuff. Anybody hear about any ratings on the 45th? Kind of curious as to what the "experts" say.

[larrysputnik]

CA gave it a 94 I think. I better check that when I go downstairs, but it was one of the top cigars in the issue.

[kingcohiba]

i can believe that. was a damn fine smoke. in fact if they have any left tomorrow i am going to buy every damn one they have!

[TJCoro]

I Thought We Were Talkin' About the 80th Anniversary?

]CA gave it a 94 I think. I better check that when I go downstairs, but it was one of the top cigars in the issue. [/B]

CA gave the 45 a 94 this issue and the 80th natural a 92 in the February issue, but what did they rate the 80th maduor???

(I don't subscribe to Cigar Insider, so I was unable to look it up on their Fuckin' web site.)
