I used to smoke the 2000s and Londres a lot when I was a straight noob.

I used to love them, I recently smoked a couple and they just didn't do it for me.

But the 64's, 26's and FR lines, they are still great for me.

I wouldn't smoke them all the time, as other's said, they are a one trick pony, but it's a good trick.

They make smaller anniversary cigars that are cheaper that you can try before you shell out for a bigger size to see if you like them.

If you like the x000 you'll like the annis.

I prefer the naturals over the maduros, but that's just me.

I like the x000 series but I usually let them sit in the humi for a couple years.

Been smoking the 1926 line for at least ten years now and I can honestly say it is the most consistent performing cigar on the market in terms of quality, construction, and flavor.

Fuente comes close but I'm still not as big a fan of opus as I am any of the Padrons. Opus just kind of lacks in bold flavors where a Cuban or a Nicaraguan really shine.

Even the Cuban Cohibas I've had recently were good but are missing that real salt of the earth flavor you get out of a good Nicaraguan. Cuaba Salomons were solid though.

The padron 1000's series are good smokes too don't get me wrong I've had a fair share of Londres and 6000. Great reliable flavor but the 1926 is yet more refined.

Olive V is just as good as a Padron at a much lower cost.

I have some aged Delicias maduros, like me alot.

I have some different PAMs (Padron Anniversary Maduro) and I like them alot, but my lady bought them for me. I would rather buy other things.

After a few days on here I'm going to have to learn more about Fuente. So much to learn...

There are only a few families/companies that are committed to delivering a quality product. Padron, Fuente, Perdomo, La Aurora and Montecristo. There are others but sadly they fall into the boutique category that doesn't do them the justice they deserve. Bucanero is the top of that list.

Everyone else to me is in the fishing lure/golf club mindset. Gotta come up with something new all the time to trick you into buying it. After awhile and several chances at redemption you learn not to go back to that well.

I really wish someone would've told me that tidbit 25 years ago.

The Fuente's are excellent smokes bottom to top,probably my favorite line overall.La Flor Dominicana is another........however they are completely different.Both are top notch when it comes to craftsamanship and consistency.Where they differ is in approach.Fuente's are usually med-full with subtle complexities that are to be savored,LFD is anything but subtle,usually med-full to full-full.LFD has some real powerhouse smokes that aren't strong just to be strong......they're chocked full of flavor.Pick up a Double Ligero 452.........you'll love it,if not my snailer is always available.

Good Luck
