Padron to add a 60RG - Page 2

Silound · 01-31-2012, 08:37 AM

Padron might be the only 60 ring cigar I'd smoke, but that's only because it would be box-pressed and I trust Padron to deliver what I pay for.

I know a lot of guys here don't prefer 60RG cigars including myself but that size does sell very well. If it didn't Padron would not be throwing their hat in the ring. I believe this stick started out as a limited release for Smoke Inn and the Maduros sold out pretty quickly if I remember right. My guess is the frequency in which these were sold was enough to catch their attention and realize they are ignoring a big corner of the market. I know in my local shops they will sell out quickly as do most of the 60RG sized sticks. To the average consumer I think they feel they are getting more for their money when comparing the price of a 60 ringer compared to your typical Toro or Robusto.
As much as some guys like to hate on the 60RG I think they are here to stay as the market for them is very strong.

Actually, this is good news, as my girlfriend's cat Smokers has been asking about a premium with a 60 RG.

I'm shocked. I'd have never guessed they'd do such a thing.....

The SI-15's were awesome, and continue to get better. I managed to gather up a pretty nice pile to tuck away.
I'm glad they're tweaking the blend away from the SI-15 blend, I'm hoping it'll be a more standard 1964 profile, not that the SI-15 wasn't excellent.

"Padrón has made a 6 by 60 Anniversary before, but it was a special release for a retail shop. Jorge Padrón said this cigar would have a different blend and different taste."

I'm with you guys, I'd go apesh1t over a 1964 maddie lancero or a 1926 maddie lancero. Even the nats would be phenomenal, not that I'd bother with them.

So that's where they all went!

I've been trying to find these for sometime now. Guess I need to make a roadtrip to your house Scott!

I have a thought on the trend toward 60RG-and-larger cigars, but one of my new year's resolutions is to less abrasive...so I won't.

Jbailey · 01-31-2012, 12:45 PM

I had to double check to make sure that it wasn't April 1st.

I still enjoy a padron anni now and again but I doubt I would grab a 60rg one.

ucla695 · 01-31-2012, 01:16 PM

I'm holding out for the 64RG.

lenguamor · 01-31-2012, 03:04 PM

Laugh, Tom, but on the tour Friday I saw a 7x70 at one of the manufacturers' places. It is experimental, but...very real.

Zeuceone · 01-31-2012, 03:06 PM

There's a JFR 7x70 already out. Not sure who makes it.

I don't know who this pretty lady is, but she is about to smoke a Perdomo Immenso, a 6x70 regular-production cigar.

kuzi16 · 01-31-2012, 04:40 PM

7 x 70? damn. makes my jaw hurt just thinking about it.

Looks like shes done that's before.

shilala · 01-31-2012, 05:10 PM

I hope they box press these new ones. Honestly, the SI-15's are stellar, even if they are ridiculously sized. I wish I had at least 20 more put up.

ApexAZ · 01-31-2012, 06:06 PM

Honestly haven't been overly impressed with Padron.

I am no threat to your beloved jaw breakers. I'll be busy scooping up all the dainty little coronas, panatellas, and lanceros.
