My B&M has a box.

Group buy flashed in my mind.

Right after that divorce flashed as well.

I think my wife’s limit is ~ $30/cigar.

Are you smoking one?

Good discussion fodder - if you had the chance to smoke one, which one would you pick?

Both cigars are 7 x 50 Churchills; the cigar made by Fuente is round, the cigar made by Padrón is box-pressed. No blend details about either cigar have been disclosed.

The project was created by Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr. and Jorge Padrón to honor their respective fathers: Carlos Fuente Sr. (1935-2016) and José O. Padrón (1926-2017). In an interesting twist, the cigar made by Padrón is to honor Fuente Sr., while the cigar made by Fuente is to honor Padrón.

Tough choice. I'm a bigger fan of Padrons, than I am of Fuentes, although I smoke both regularly.

I think I'd go with the one Padron made, honoring Fuente.

Same

I love them both, but Fuente would be a step above for me. I'd have to try the one Fuente made to honor Padron.

 

[TexasTraveler]

You know I am going with the Fuente...

 

[whopper]

The Padron for me

 

[SKYDIVNEKD]

I’d hafta go Padron, because I really love Padrons. I’m certain they both smoke well.

I's have to go with Carlos.... ELVIS.... Fuente's ( mid life crisis much? )... version honoring Jose Padron.

As much as I truly enjoy Padron and Fuente, at $176 per stick is stupid just to say "hey, I got one of each". Really too bad cause that Padron Black PF93 I think is a heck of a smoke. Will have to see what some of you guys have got to say if you get a few of them.

Lol. Ooooooook

 

[Jweiser]

I don’t know what to do about this one lol. I want to try each but don’t think I’ll spend that much. I have spent 150 on 2 cigars but even that was too high for me

I thought my father and I would smoke these but he doesn’t want to spend that much either lol

Unless I hear either or both are incredible enough times I will pass on them

 

[streetrod]

There are 40 cigars. 20 Padrons and 20 Fuentes. 5 people 4 each. Make it a party and 10 people 2 each. But we have to find them available preferably before the secondary market had them all.

I’m in! As long as the price is not real crazy!

They can go jump in a lake with those insane prices
