This has been sitting in my humidor for a couple of months now. Every time I look at it I remember the show where Craig offered an aged '64 I believe to someone in the Padron family and they were less than pleased. If I remember correctly, they said that Padrons are meant to be smoked immediately and not aged. So, all that to say, I have been feeling guilty seeing this sitting in my humidor.

I have an 85 year that's been sitting in my humidor for a year now, too. I'm about to say "eff it," and just smoke the damn thing!! ImageImage

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia

To say I enjoyed this tonight would be a gross understatement.

A cigar from a company in Santiago (La Palma?). Pretty average, but not gonna hurt you. The small, ugly sticks are from the mountains north of Santiago. The one I had was quite surprisingly good!

One of the best smokes of my life was a 5 year old '64 in the large box pressed size...imperials maybe?

Kip and I stopped at a brand new store in Santiago this afternoon. Really good selection of hard to find Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Cuban sticks and a great lounge. Craig, there are 10 Espanas coming home to you!
