Padron 64 = "Porsche"

pearson · 12-06-2008, 09:36 PM

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

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.

jaycarla · 12-06-2008, 10:01 PM

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

CaRyan · 12-06-2008, 10:07 PM

"Opus X -- Lamborghini (Its a famous name that dissapoints)"

possibly one of the funniest things i have read in a long time bigloo.

pretty neat post too, i may be a newb but i am a fan of the Padrons

Thanks alot. I do love my uncle he lives in santa fe and offer to let me stay with him if I got a job there for as long as I wanted. BTW dad is getting the same package.

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...

Wow!!!! If that doesn't "Knock His Socks off", Nothing will! Very Nice Selection!

sofaman · 12-07-2008, 06:40 AM

Great selection!!! He should love each and every one

12-07-2008, 07:02 AM

Great flippin' sampler. You done yourself proud putting those together!!!

Sauer Grapes · 12-07-2008, 07:30 AM

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.

Footbag · 12-07-2008, 07:42 AM

I find the 64's small quickly. In that respect they are like the porsce as well.:-)

pearson · 12-10-2008, 07:39 PM

I am thinking of adding a TAT RC184 anybody have a name for that?

ucla695 · 12-10-2008, 08:17 PM

He'll be hooked for sure. Great sampler!!

gettysburgfreak · 12-10-2008, 10:51 PM

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)

Blueface · 12-11-2008, 07:12 AM

Wow!
Nice smokes.
Really nice smokes.

12-11-2008, 07:28 AM

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.
