Ask and you shall receive, Cigar Monster ran the 70th Padron Anniversary for $199/box at 12:00 AM central time on 7/23/09. Did you pick up a box?

If I remember right, Padron made a cigar for Arnolds Cigar a couple of years ago.

dk_fxn, you’ll have to light one up and let us know what you think!

AJ,
LOL, that wasn’t the story the folks at Famous were telling. I just KNEW that no matter how I stated that, there would be a dispute in the comments. (I don’t know who’s right.)

I think the 70th will be excellent with a little age, but honestly, it’s great the way it is too, if a bit unrefined.

Jason Taylor,
It’s a good stick. It is hard to justify the price, but you can buy them by the single now which makes it a little less painful. There’s no difference in the per stick price between a single and a box, so you aren’t taking a hit for buying them one or five at a time.

Also the natural has shown up in Cigar Monster deals on occasion.

Thanks for reviewing this smoke. I’ve been wondering about it. I wanted to here something good about it for the price it is going.

Actually the Padron ‘Legacy’ was made exclusively for Holts in Philly first.

I found the Padron 70th to taste ‘young’, undeveloped, Don’t get me wrong – It was a great stick, but at $16/ea, there are a whole lot of other sticks that are much better in that range and less.

Great review!!

I’m glad I was able to pick-up a few of these while down at the expo…
