Fuente vs. Padron

longknocker · 04-29-2009, 05:48 PM

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!

SO far I'd second Padron although I smoked my first Anejo last week and it was excellent.

Padrón

Padron!!

groogs · 04-29-2009, 05:53 PM

Padron without a doubt.

GreekGodX · 04-29-2009, 05:53 PM

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

Padron

But then again I am a Padron whore.

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!

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.

I had to google Padrón to find it

I'm sure there is a way on the keyboard.

WildBlueSooner · 04-29-2009, 05:56 PM

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

zmancbr · 04-29-2009, 05:57 PM

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.

Yes you have to use the special characters on your computer or the hotkey is 0243 while holding ALT!

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

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.
