Just curious how does the PAM 26 #2 compare with the 40th and 80th? 🤔

That just me though

I did a review on this and was surprised

If you put a box of regular and a box of anniversery out for me to take,,

I would take the regular

You are just going to have to try one of the annis and find out for yourself

i agree with prop, the regular line is really hard to beat especially considering the price.

Oh yeah, their pricier blends are fantastic, but nothing can touch the regular line for everyday value and quality. worth 2 to 3 bucks more per cigar!

Perhaps you'll be able to find this out for yourself, yes?? Well, the 80th at least 😰

For me personally Bj, I've always preferred the 64's to the 26's. First Padron I ever smoked was a PAM 26 #6. Thought it was very good....until I had the 64 Exclusivo....which I thought was considerably better. Just suited my palate more for whatever reason. I've smoked a few 26's of various sizes here and there, but the 64 has always been my preference.

Best Padron I've ever smoked, hands down, is the 45th Maddie.

That may not answer your question per se, but the debate over regular vs anni, 64 vs 26, 40th vs 80th etc. is a little like choosing which is your favorite ice cream, Chocolate or Vanilla. Everyone usually has a favorite, but it doesn't mean the other isn't good once in a while.....

I thought I was the only pedestrian who prefers the regular padron maddies to any of their deluxe stix.

I've had one 45th and one 80th, and thought both were nearly flavorless. People tell me I just got really unlucky and got bad sticks or something, i don't know. I have not revisited those yet because it's a whole lot of money to get stuck with a "bad stick," lol.

That all said, the PAM '64s are also stellar cigars, and I smoke them much more often because of the price. The PAM Principe might just be the best petite corona on planet earth ... which reminds me, I'm out of those. Maybe I should put up a trade post :)

Compared to the regular line, all the Anniversaries are fuller in both body and strength. The '64s have lots of pepper at times, almost 'in your face," which I like. I don't find the regular line to be very spicy (the 6000 is a little bit), though they are very tasty, especially with some age. An aged Londres is one of the best cheap cigars on earth, and an aged 2000 is one of the best mid-range smokes, imvho.
