Need to buy a sub $200 box 24/25 of either PAM 26 or 64........... (auction price from the other place).

I'm leaning toward the PAM 64 Corona........seems to be the biggest bang for buck deal

Which would you pick?

Suggestions?

thx

I’m a fan of the 64 Corona.

Sub $200? You probably don’t want to hear this but just before Padron started enforcing MAP in early 2015, I managed to score boxes of the PAM 64 Corona and Principe for around $140 each. Gottum from the rather well known place with their fixed shipping charge so needless to say, I was quite pleased.

Man, I miss those days! [gonzo]

I like the 1926 much better than the 1964, but Idk about sub 200 for the 1926.

I think a 24 count box of the No.6 robusto starts out at 212 plus shipping at the other place. I've never looked into the smaller sizes...

Yep..........pretty much limited to the No. 35 to stay under $200 for a PAM 26.

I’ve narrowed it down to the above, the 64 corona maduro, or the 64 Principe maduro

64s lose about 50% of their flavor over time. Go with the 26.

Hadn’t smoked a 64 in awhile, need to revisit and see what kind of flavor loss might have incurred.

I'd save the money for your insurance co-pay on your impending kneecap surgery after mentioning it here.

It's possible that I got an 'off' box, but at that price, I'm not gonna buy another box to see.

Weird, I didn’t know there was much blend difference but the 26’s are aged longer.

I also read they were the same blend but the 26s were from a higher priming...which for me, makes sense since the 26s I’ve smoked did seem stronger.

Can't believe I didn't think of this sooner, but when I used to ask myself this question, it was simple pine box or expensive coffin (my ex's name is Pam). Now I just hope that she's living a wonderful life wherever she is.

Don't pay any attention to me. Today, I once again learned that not all meat marked free of antibiotics is necessarily so. I barely know what planet I'm on. I plead not guilty by reason of insanity, your honor. Yes, more so than usual.

Nope. Turns out yet another medication allergy. The Chernobyl is fun, but lasts maybe 60-90 minutes for me. I'm hardcore after the years of cigars, however. Corn cob pipe, brass screen, six bucks. Still trying to figure out the reason and purpose of a bong, glass pipe, etc. Corn cob burns out, ya toss it, pull out a new one. Still searching for another groovy bud that goes for $60 an oz., however. Jeeminy. That's like 2 Opus X market price. Or one on auction.

I am literally two medications away from switching my listed pharmacy from RA to the local herb store. Very glad Washington voters saw the light.
