since I am somewhat new to cigars, I though I would ask. I have had seveeral Padrons now and frankly they are about the best cigars I have had. I have yet to try a PAM or Pan, but how much better can they be? I had a Londres yesterday and it was flat out awesome. They seem to be the only reasonably priced cigar I can get locally, and I was just curious if it was worth the extra fifteen to get the PAM.

LUKIN,

PAM torpedos or diplomaticos are the best IMHO...

If you are paying more than $15 a piece you could find them for less elsewhere...

Think regular padrons times 50 in the chocolatey flavor...MMMM...Is it lunchtime yet...

I love starting my day with a regular Padron and a cup of coffee....only thing better is a small isom! Then end the day with a nice PAN or PAM...mmmmm, that is a great day!

They are worth buying one, but like he said ^ you shouldn't have to pay over $15.

So who has the best deals on boxes of Padrons (3K-5K)?

I get the churchills 5ers here for cheap.

Lukin, there is absolutely no comparison.

What bassdude said ...

... I fired up a PAM that was sent to me from jd1 in a trade, and it was one of the finest cigars that I have smoked in recent times.

Worth every penny ...

Why aren't all cigars more like the PAM.

Every time I smoke one, I cease thinking about anthing else. It is an experience....not a cigar. JMO though

Damn you guys.....Never had one....owned three, but traded two (like an idiot)....trying to save the other for a special occasion since I'm not a high roller....

and you idgits won't shut up about them....

that PAM is burning a hole in my humidor!!!!!!

bj,

Not to be morbid, but you could drop dead tomorrow, or get hit by lightning or something.

Smoke it!

He's right.....a PAM is a cigar that makes the moment, so you don't have to wait for the right time.....it makes the time right! (yeah, imho, it's that good)

Just smoke the thing, they will make more.

Dave

Padrons suck!!! They suck very well and I suck down 2 or more a day, LOL.

There have been times when I've been very lucky and got a rare box from the regular line that was every bit as good as an Annie, other than that, yes, the PAN/PAMS are worth the extra money.

Sadly I've never had a PAM, but do like the PAN. I just picked up recenly a PAN '26 and plan on smoking this weekend for the 4th. Can't wait to try it out. I here its even beter then the '64's.

Padrons, PAMs, PANs... never had a bad one. They fall within a very small group of cigars that have never dissapointed me anytime. Luck or quality... don't know but they have been 100% perfect.
