Hey guys, I've been looking to buy a few Edition de Silvio for some time now, I've never had the chance. I was sitting here tonight thinking of getting serious about this persuit to see how good it really is and I started thinking (I know, that's dangerous).

My question is how does the Silvio rate compared to the greatness of a PAM, or PAN rather?

Thanks for the input.

That's an apples and oranges kind of contest. These cigars are both great in their own rights, however the taste profile is kind of like a Democrat and Republican. . .One is smooth and gentle a little fruity the other is strong and powerfull with a complex note. . Both can be appealing. . I prefer the Republican. . ugh the PAM....

Hey Country, I just had my first Edicion de Silvio this past Thursday while I was Herfing with Stogidude. Man, I was in heaven. It's not overly full bodied in my opinion. It was probably medium, maybe medium-full at best, but the taste and aroma on this baby was fantastic. It was also very well constructed with a lush draw. The wrapper was so light and silky that it could have almost been mistaken for connecticut shade until you light the thing up. It would be a stretch to compare it to a PAM (not near as full in my opinion) but I think it would compare to the PAN quite nicely. Probably a little firmer on the draw, but a taste that you will find nowhere else. I had a few robustos gifted to me, but I would definetely pay the money to have a few more in the humi. You won't be let down by this one.

Man, I would if I had a few more. I've only got two left, and I think I've already got an occasion picked out for them. I'll let ya know if I can pick up a few more though. I know a pretty generous brother in San Antonio who might be able to swing some my way. I'll keep ya posted.

Haven't had the pleasure of an EDS yet but I would think it would be hard to beat the PAM!

I would say the same, Goody. But them EDS are some beautiful looking cigars. Nick really did some kind of job on them. A great tribute to his grandfather at that.

Absolutely no comparision! PAM's are far superior in all aspects.
