Padron 64 = "Porsche"
A couple of years ago my uncle (anastelogist makes good money) goes to a cigar shop for my dad and asks for the "Porsche" of cigars. Well the guy working there shows him the Pardon 1964, so he buys 6 of them.
So at Christmas time he gives dad 5 and smokes one with my dad. Getting him self hooked and finding my dads favorite at the same time. Now all that my uncle will smoke is Padron's well I have tried to widen his choices with RP and Partagas, but he has not tried them that I am aware of. Maybe he is scared of them who knows. But this year I have cooked up a sampler to knock his socks off but to tell him what they are with out talking about dollars I want to compare them to cars. help me out with this. So in the mix is Padron 80th anny Padron 40th anny davidoff 6000 some kind of small Opus X not the XXX (I dont really want to knock his socks off) Ashton VSG Maybe a tat black. and of course Thanks Pearson |

Re: Padron 64 = "Porsche"
Great idea, and you must love you uncle very much.
If Padron 64 is Porsche, then: Padron 80th anny -- Aston Martin (best "everyday" driver period, luxury and speed) Padron 40th anny -- Maserati (Better the a porsche, but still "everyday" driver) Davidoff 6000 -- Bentley (no question on this one, ultimate in luxury and refinement) Opus X -- Lamborghini (Its a famous name that dissapoints) Ashton VSG -- Jaguar (Sleek, Sexy, affordable luxury) Tat Black -- Ford GT (The american threat) This was fun! Again, you must really love you uncle. BTW, by everyday driver I mean you can take the car to the store without having the chasis grind all the way like in other sports cars, its why porsche is so common, super-fast but you can drive em everywhere. |

Nice selection of smokes. Bigloo, great job on the car comparison also. I can't really do any better than you did there.

Re: Padron 64 = "Porsche"
My God the comparison of the Opus to the now disappointing Lamborghini line is exactly RIGHT on...Thank you so much! Bigloo, I agree wholeheartedly with all but one of those comparisons...Rolls-Royce is a much better comparison to the Davidoff...only because, like Lamborghini, once Volkswagen took over...its been a pure disappointment...honestly, who builds a sports coupe on a truck platform (the Continental GT is built on the Volkswagen Touraeg platform...)...
As far as back to the original poster...AWESOME SELECTION...minus the Lambo of course... |

Re: Padron 64 = "Porsche"
Awesome selection, definite top shelf smokes
Padron 80th anny -- Ferrari 360 Modena (expensive as hell but worth every penny) Padron 40th anny -- Lamborghini Gallardo (Sexy, exclusive, wont disappoint) Davidoff 6000 -- Aston Martin Vanquish (Lots of hype, decent, but not worth the price) Opus X -- BMW M3 (Appeals to a select group) Ashton VSG -- Porsche GT (All around performer) Tat Black -- Corvette (Best bang for the buck)

Re: Padron 64 = "Porsche"
i'd say lambo fits the opus correctly. BTW, those are opus x power rangers. they are the only ones that come with a ribbon on their foot.
i love the RC184's but they take a little while to develop and can be intimidating to most. |

Re: Padron 64 = "Porsche"
Padron 80th anny - Porsche Carrera GT (saw one of these in person this week. Believe it or not, parallel parked on the street)
Padron 40th anny - 911 Turbo (why change from Padron being Porsche davidoff 6000 - Maybach (overpriced, boring, but not a flaw to be found and definitely of quality) some kind of small Opus X not the XXX (I dont really want to knock his socks off) - Lambo is a good comparison here. Not just the disappoint side, but there are those that like them and have good luck with them. They are temperamental though. Ashton VSG - BMW M5 (spicy but solid. Not too showy, but can keep up with the best of them) Maybe a tat black. - Tesla, the new breed of cigars. Last edited by Sauer Grapes; 12-07-2008 at 07:36 AM. |
