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.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Padrón :tu

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Padron!!:2

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Padron without a doubt.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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!

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Padron without a doubt.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

My bad...I can't make an "O" with a thingy above it!!:mad:

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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
 

I had to google Padrón to find it:rolleyes: I'm sure there is a way on the keyboard.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Wow....Padron smoking Fuente at this point!

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!

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

I can't believe that worked!! óóó :wo

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Fuente for me.

Padrons are good, but the Fuentes are even better.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Padron, but I haven't tried too many Fuentes

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

:tpd: Haven't met a Fuente yet I didn't like.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Always happy to help :tu

Padrón

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

So far, Padron over Fuente, 10-5!:tu

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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...am so....proud. (sniff...sniff)

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

when you're proud you :pn?

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

It's not my fault...it just happens!:r

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

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

that is insanely high end

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

I see I think you are referring to the 1964 and 1926?

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Yes, that's what I meant.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Those are two of my favorites!! Too damn expensive though.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

like I posted earlier the 1964 was cheaper then the Don Carlos

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

I'll take a Fuente over a Padron

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Fuente for me!!

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

Padron in a heartbeat.

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).

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

I'd have to go with Fuente.

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

:tpd:
...and DAMN proud of it!!

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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. :)

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

I got yer back in this poll bud......
FUENTE!

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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!

Re: Fuente vs. Padron
 

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