Fuente vs. Padron

JJG · 04-29-2009, 07:07 PM

If price was not a factor I would have to say Fuente. I've been a big Padron fan for years now. It was a 5'er of 3000s that actually got me hooked on cigars in the first place, but frankly they kind of bore me now.

In the interest of full disclosure, I just prefer Dominican tobacco. It seems to have the potential to approach the level of depth and complexity you get from Cuban tobacco, especially when purchased at a B&M.

I think I've had the best of the best that Nicaragua has to offer and while great, there is definitely a ceiling to their potential,(in my opinion).
