Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

There are more Padron sticks near the top of my personal review dB, so they get the nod. I like the variety of Fuente and am looking forward to trying some of their high-end sticks (Añejo Shark & Don Carlos) that I haven't had yet.

woo hoo--fancy ñ symbol :ss

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

The Fuente vs. Padron debate it hard. The lower end Fuente's dont do anything for me, and I would always take a regular series Padron over them. However, I really do enjoy the Anejo's, Opus X, and Madi Hemingways. Lets see, 1964 Anni vs. Anejo- that is a really hard decision to make.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Padron wins easily for me because everything they attempt to do is well done.
From their lowliest handmade cigar to the top of the line, they are all worth smoking. I do not like much Fuente anymore except for the Spanish Lonsdale and the 858. Hell, I don't even smoke NC cigars anymore. But I would always take a Padron if offered, and that is not true of a Fuente.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Fuentes all day, everyday for me.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Fuente for me. I still love a PAM though.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Fuente or Padron......hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The last cigar of the 2 brands that I actually smoked was probably a Padron Anni. Before that it was an OpusX xXx, but before that was a Londres......

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

can't we just talk about politics?


how about religion?


I have a Sh!t load of Opus, and quite a few Padron to the point that I forgot I had some 80th anni's. I should go home and smoke one after the Sixers beat Orlando to tie the series tonight.

How about PaFuentron are my favorites. :al

Glad we don't have to make a choice between the two in real life!!!;)

IS THIS REAL LIFE???

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Overall, the Padron line.. Especially with the prices..

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Padrón is the suck.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Fuente for me. Too many great blends when, for me, the Anny line is all I really buy with any regularity from Padron.

I like the Hemingway and Don Carlos blends as much as any cigar from any other blender anywhere.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaadron for me. The Fuentes are not doing it for me although I keep trying ...........

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

I look at things like the executive, a giant double corona and just a perfect cigar. The Padron Panatela is as about as good a NC LSP as you will find. The robusto and toro sizes are perfectly blended. The tobacco TASTES better to me, but I am a Nic ho. Fuente has all my respect, but they are just all over the place with blends and wrappers and line extensions. I can't cope. GREAT cigars, but not as good overall as Padron, JIMOO.

And who am I kidding, I haven't had one of either in 8-9 years, :)

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

In honor of this thread I pulled out a Padron 1926. Mehhh... it is decent. Perfect construction, nice volume of smoke, but the flavor is very muted. Reaffirms my vote for Fuente.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Both make quality smokes, I prefer the flavor profile of Padron.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

I've only had lower end Fuente's but Padron really suits my taste.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

:r Is that when you duct tape a 1926 to a power ranger?

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Looks to be pretty one sided at this point. I think I am going to need to smoke a couple more Padrons.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Hells yeah!!!;)

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

I don't really know if I could choose one. Hope I'm never in the situation where I can only smoke one brand for the rest of my life but if I were in that situation I'd hope it would be one of these two!
