The 35 is the ultimate for me.
I have had at least 10 boxes or so of them and have yet to find a bad one.
I think this was bad luck or you could have had an off day on your taste buds.
That does happen at times.

Do you ever notice a loose draw with the 1926's? I mostly smoke the 2000's, 5000's and 1964's but I recently smoked (or tried to) a 1926 No. 9. Draw was so loose I pitched it after 10 minutes. This past week I tried a No. 1 and decided to use a punch, but the draw was so loose I didn't even bother to light it. It was almost like a hollow tube. Both cigars had been in my humi for several months. I called Padron and ended up talking to Cesar and Rudi. They asked me to send it to them so they could investigate. I know they will replace them but I'm more curious what the deal is.

I have never had what I would call a "loose" draw. However, Padron Annis are known for very effortless draw in spite of the hard feeling box press. You really don't have to try very much to draw smoke.
