Default Padron Gradations

I have some Padron Serie 1926 Anniversary 80 Years Salomons and some Serie 1926 No. 2. The number 2 cost half as much as the salomons, and thus I wasn't expecting the same quality, and as expected didn't get it. But I found the no. 2 to be well worth the cost, and I have no complaints except that one of the two I smoked was a nicotine bomb, far stronger than even the JdN Antanos. I like full-bodied cigars, and as long as I've eaten, I can nub them. In the same regard, one of the 80 Years was another level or two up in nicotine. Is it true that Padron throws out a nicotine bomb on occasion?

As regards quality, is it true that on a scale of ascending quality, pricy Padrons are named:

1. 1926 and 1964
2. #1 plus the word "anniversary"
3. both #1 and #2 plus either "40" or "80 Years"
