What year was that cigar? Padron 1964 PAM

[MAS_Puros]

I enjoyed myself a Padron 1964 Principe PAM that was wonderful. Nice and smooth with puffs of bluish smoke. ... anyways was wondering if there was a way to identify what year my Padron 1964 PAM was made ... I know there is a number on the band, and was hoping someone knew what year it was by that number.

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if you can tell from the serial numbers or not. I believe my Exclusivos from last year all ended in a 3. I will take a look at the box and the bands when I get home tomorrow and see if anything jumps out at me.

Is there an echo in here?

Not sure why my Blackberry decided to double tap, fat fingers and small keys are a bad mix I guess.

As to telling the age or date of production I could find no recognizable correlation between with serial number. All of my cigars that came from 09 boxes varied in tens (example 816533, 816543, 816553 etc...), the other misc. Singles seem to be random across all vitolas and years.

I actually sent Padron an e-mail about this a couple of years ago, but the only response I got was that each number is unique and is not used more than once. Someone should ask Jorge at one of the events he's at sometime.

Anyway, I've looked at all of my Padrons more than once trying to figure out if there was a pattern or a method to their numbering. If there is a way to read the number that gives some sort of date or anything useful, I can't find it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Padron has a list somewhere that shows when a range of numbers was used, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't bother keeping a list like that, either.

Don't they have a slip of paper in them? Or is that just in the x000 series? I would've thought the impression Ketch made on Jorge at dinner would've prompted Jorge to join the forum to answer such things as these. Don't take it personally Ketch, we still love you.

Serial # won't tell you anything afaik.

It doesn't! That's the response I got from my query a few years back. They said that the box code and date on the slip of paper in each box is the only way to tell the production date and who the roller was.

No offense taken. When two ALPHA males, like Jorge and myself, get together it can often be fueled by our overabundance of testosterone and machismo.

Thanks for the input and info guys ... I have 1 more cigar that I will enjoy soon.

Are the rest of them really shitty? I would probably just stop if I didn't enjoy them anymore.

The anniversary series have these aswell.

My last box of 2000 had a piece of paper with a date, an initial of someone and a alpha code, in my case was August of 2009.

And when one of them is hopped up on 5 hour energy, it's magic time. Too bad Enerjay wasn't there to film it.

Isy!!

Please ask the Padrons this question...if you haven't already done so.

To my knowledge, Padron started numbering the cigars to battle the counterfeiters. IF there is rhyme and reason to their numbering system, I doubt any of us would know, nor would they tell us. That would defeat the purpose of deriving a system to prevent the counterfeiting of their cigars.

The corollary to that is since the purchasing public does not know the rhyme or reason to the serial numbering and has no way to look up the numbers to verify authenticity, counterfeighters could use whatever numbers they please.

True....but if there's a question as to the authenticity of a Padron Anniversary, I'm sure Padron will be able to verify if the cigar is real or fake.

Right. If it was to help, the number would need to mean something. If not, it is just a fancy band with a number on it.
