I had a Padron 1964 anniversary Pyramide Maudro last night that a friend brought over last night and said it has been aged for 5 years. Great smoke for the first half then got a little wood. While I smoke I play with the ends...all of a sudden I came accross this stick...I played with it for a while and out came this 4 inch Tree, hard as a rock...but smoked pretty go after that though.
