Padron Throwdown! Padron 1964 Anniversary Series vs Padron 1926 Serie

Cigar smokers often ask, which is the better choice - Padron 1964 or Padron 1926. Jim does a deep dive into both the Padron 1964 and Padron 1926, comparing everything - cost, appearance, taste, boldness, construction, and overall smoking pleasure. See which Padron comes out on top!

Great comparison Jim. The Padron 1964 is my favorite cigar. As you mentioned, the 1926 is also excellent but just like you I prefer the 1964, which does seem to have a little better flavor to me. I don't smoke them regularly due to the cost but will enjoy the 1964 every now and then. It's always a special treat. Love your channel!!

I have only smoked cigars for one year but am a collector in general. I bought 6 cases of Padron, three were the 1926, three were the 1964. I don't have a favorite. Both are perfect. I thought you'd enjoy this list I made this week of all the sizes, sorted largest to smallest. Padron 1964 • No 4 60 x 6 ½ 390 • Toro 56 x 5 280 • Hermoso 56 x 4 224 • Imperial 54 x 6 324 • Torpedo 52 x 6 (torpedo) 312 • Belicoso 52 x 5 (torpedo) 260 • Soberano 52 x 5 260 • Piramide 52 x 42 x 6 7/8 324 • “A” 50 x 8 ¼ 400 • Diplomatico 50 x 7 350 • Presidente 50 x 6 300 • Exclusivo 50 x 5 ½ 275 • Monarca 46 x 6 ½ 299 • Principe 46 x 4 ½ 207 • Superior 42 x 6 ½ 403 • Corona 42 x 6 252 Padron 1926 • No 48 60 x 5 ½ 330 • No 9 56 x 5 ¼ 294 • No 1 54 x 6 ¾ 364.5 • No 80 54 x 6 ¾ (torpedo x2) 364.5 • No 40 54 x 6 ½ (torpedo) 351 • No 2 52 x 5 ½ (torpedo) 286 • No 90 52 x 5 ½ 286 • No 47 50 x 5 ½ 275 • No 6 50 x 4 ¾ 237.5 • No 35 48 x 4 192

Wow! Thanks for sharing that!

The 000 series is king for me. Love those things. Best bang for your buck on the market hands down. Love the 64 maduro and the 26 natural though

[@79glastron]

Is it me or the 26 smoke time is longer than the 64? I noticed a 30 minute difference.

[@WiTuLoooo]

I like the natural pardons more than the maduros

[@JaimeLopez-eq2em]

Watching your video and smoking a padron 64.

[@cigarsandotherdudestuff]

That's great to hear!

[@WiTuLoooo]

Addition to your fun fact - they only allow the roller(s) for the high end pardons to roll a certain # per day then they’re sent home

[@cigarsandotherdudestuff]

That's a great factoid!

[@georgelydakis2652]

I think you have your facts wrong about the 1926 series. The 1926 No. 80 is the cigar that has one buncher & one roller. Thats all that team makes is the No.80 Perfecto. If there was only one buncher & one roller for the entire 1926 series, there would be none to be had!

[@PhilVogt6384]

64 is the better Maduro 26 natural best overall.
