Padron Problem?

blugill · 01-14-2009, 04:56 PM

I received four Padron 1926 series 80th anniversary maduros today that I ordered over the weekend. I splurged on these for a friend's homecoming from Qatar in a few days.

However when I got them out to put them into the humidor I noticed something that wasn't right.

Sorry for the blurry pic. There is no focus on my phone, but the second band clearly says 40 years instead of 80 years while the top band clearly says 1926. Have I been taken for a ride?

Easy way other than the band is to note the shape of the cigar.

The 40th is a pyramid.
The 80th is a Salomon like cigar, tapered at both ends.

If yours is a pyramid, you have a 40th, which is still awesome, but not what you ordered or paid for.

They are the 40th Anny series of the 1926

Ok, they contacted me back and if I send these back they will send the correct cigars and refund my shipping.

are they torpedos or perfectos?

I was confused on these for a while myself. Guess it's an easy mistake to make..

They were the pyramid shape, not tapered at both ends.

I'd just ask for a refund of the difference... they are very good sticks as well!

feznuk · 01-14-2009, 05:15 PM

I've got a Padron problem as well...opened up the humi and there's none left.

That's still an awesome smoke to celebrate your buddy's homecoming. If you don't want to go through the return process just ask the retailer for a credit for the difference and free shipping on your next order.

Enjoy the celebration.

I would ask your vender to make up the diffrence. But you wont be disapointed with the 40th it is an amazing smoke

jitzy · 01-14-2009, 05:29 PM

the guys are right you will not go wrong with these and there a little cheaper

blugill · 01-14-2009, 06:00 PM

I'm keeping these per your suggestions. The company graciously said they would fix this anyway I chose. So they will refund the difference!

Good call.

TomHagen · 01-14-2009, 08:48 PM

IMHO...

40th is better.
