Fuente vs. Padron
 
I thought of an interesting question, today, while smoking a 3yr. old Fuente Double Chat SG. One of my first good sticks, BTW. If you could "Only" smoke one, which would it be, Fuente or Padron? I'll vote Padron, since I currently favor the variety of flavors and characteristics of that particular line. If someone could help me set up a formal poll with Graphs, etc., I would greatly appreciate it!

It will be interesting to see the results from all the Inmates!

Thanks!:tu

SO far I'd second Padron although I smoked my first Anejo last week and it was excellent.

Padron without a doubt.

As of right now since I haven't tried many Fuente's, I choose Padron. They have great cigars at every price level.

Padron








But then again I am a Padron whore.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 
These happen to be my two favorites in my short cigar smoking time so this is very tough. I think in the end I would vote for Fuente though due to the consistency I have found in them...I love me some short stories. However, I am also biased I think because I have tried some of the higher end Fuentes (Opus X) and not the higher end Padron. Perhaps, if I had a super premium Padron I would change my mind. I really have only smoked the *000 series Padrons!

Padron without a doubt - I love the entire line.

I enjoy Fuente's Flor Fina, Anejo, Don Carlos and the X...I don't enjoy Hemingways as much any more and the Sun Grown I don't like...can't remember what I else I have smoked from Fuente.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 
Fuente no questions asked... While I do enjoy some padrons, I find them to be too expensive for what I get... and some Fuentes are over priced, but I just steer clear of them (GOF comes to mind).

I haven't smoked a Padron in almost a year if that helps... while my last Fuente was probably less than two weeks ago. :tu

Yes you have to use the special characters on your computer or the hotkey is 0243 while holding ALT!

Speaking of price I picked up a DC Fuente and for sixty cents less a Padrón 1964 Monarch. So for me :wo

I have never smoked a Padron, but I do have a Boxed Pressed Aniversary I keep passing up in my humi. I have definitely smoked my share of the almighty Fuente sticks, and they are by far my fave cigars.

Padrons are good, but the Fuentes are even better.

I guess i'd have to go Fuente. They have a broader range of selections as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 
I'd go Fuente. There are very few that I don't like. I rarely get a bad Padrón, either, but have much more experience with the Fuente line.

There are really no losers in either brand, though.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 
I like the lower end Padrons more than the lower end Fuentes but I like the higher end Fuentes more than the higher end Padrons.

Confused?


Padron 2000 > AF Curlyhead

Hemmingway > Padron 40th

Opus > Padron 80th

I thought the 80th PAMs are pretty close to the Opus price-wise? :confused:

I don't smoke too many NCs anymore, but I enjoy these two brands above most others. If I had to make a choice, I would choose Fuente.

Padron in a heartbeat.

JJG 04-29-2009 07:07 PM

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 
If price was not a factor I would have to say Fuente. I've been a big Padron fan for years now. It was a 5'er of 3000s that actually got me hooked on cigars in the first place, but frankly they kind of bore me now.

In the interest of full disclosure, I just prefer Dominican tobacco. It seems to have the potential to approach the level of depth and complexity you get from Cuban tobacco, especially when purchased at a B&M. ;)

I think I've had the best of the best that Nicaragua has to offer and while great, there is definitely a ceiling to their potential,(in my opinion).

Although I like the draw more on Fuentes, I'm going to have to go with Padrons because I haven't had a bad one yet. :)

Como estamos hablando de dos "puros", en el sentido literal donde todas las hojas son de un solo pais, decidi dar mi respuesta en español.

Los dos son muy buenos - el AF de la Republica Dominicana es rico y tiene el suyo, especialmente hablando de su mercadotecnia con los estuches pero no se compara con un Padròn Anni 26 de Nicaragua.

¡Nisiquiera con un 64 en mi humilde opinion!

He fumado los dos, actualmente fume los dos ayer y por mucho el Padron gana por mucho.

Ahora, a ver si uno de mis BOTL contestan en español tambien (¿Papichulo, Lenguamor - Donde andan?)

And for those that don't speak Spanish - I no longer wear a tinfoil hat!

Not even a question for me: Fuente all the way. Just to have a go at the Anejos.
