    Thanks Tony. Now I regret for not buying couple of boxes of this wonderful smoke.

    I, too, love the OSOK. I have only bought a few boxes so far and this was one of them. Very well written review, as always, Rip. Thanks!

    lets just say you'll be up to date Rip... i'm grabbing a bunch of cigars, my best friend is getting married, so that is one that will be in my travel humi. Of course, what I decide to smoke will depend on the mood as my mind always changes lol. But it will be outdoors in 2 hours, and CA is awesome right now.

    This is one of my favorite smokes of 2012!! I thought they did a fantastic job with the Trucha size, which is my favorite. I went a little crazy and got a total of 7 boxes, and had to let go of a few so I can make some room for habanos. I actually am enjoying them more and more the longer I wait however. The first one, and only one I had ROTT had a weird chemical aroma, and I thought that because of how fresh it could be. Then let them rest for about 2 months and they are just getting better and no more chemical aroma or taste. As always fantastic review and images!!! Well done!!

    Great review, again! I'll take you up on your suggestion not to let these age - I'll smoke mine the next available fine day. Your reviews have become a sounding board for which higher end cigars I want to try, thank you for all you provide to this forum.

    Interesting... I'm a huge padron fan, but have nt been impressed by the natural lines in the Family Reserve. I'll have to grab one.

    Aww what!?!? Rip! No crazy balancing act on an exotic plant cigar pic? You're losing Rip, you're losing it lol. I love a some Padrons. They are a bit pricey out here in Cali though. A 1926 is $20+. Lovely review as always.

    Is there a huge differance between the 1926 and the 1964? I assume they are 100% different cigars..kind of like MOW Ruination and MOW Virtue, but I've never smoked either. I have one 1964 resting. Thanks for the review Rip.

    Dustin...I believe our taste buds are quite similier. Please make sure you smoke it after 2-3 years of aging in it. The wrapper is not like any other Padron natural. It is very smooth, thinner and silky. I believe even Padron does not have it a lot. This is another reason why they roll it only 16,000 sticks a year. In fact, I was pushed by a guy to purchase this cigar in the Signature Cigar store in Bethesda, VA. He practically begged me to try this. I got it almost two years ago and didn't feel to smoke it until now. You can trust me on this.

    LOL...Daniel, by this time I became an expert in balancing. I love to blend cigar with nature in the background in my pictures. It gives me a asthetic happiness. Next time, I will send you one brother.

    Hi Randy, 1964 is a very good cigar but no comparison with 1926 40th and 80th Anniversary. Thanks!

    Good to know rip!! I have one from tony I put in the aging humi... I was gonna light it up soon but if you say rest it I'll rest it. And to rain the 64 and 26 are different... Not 10% different until you get in the family reserve and the other special batches. The 64 is milder than the 26 but I haven't had a padron I wouldn't buy again and again!!
  • rzamanrzaman Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 2,604
    Hi Lee, how old is that? is it Natural or Maduro?
