I frequent a couple of local B&M’s on a daily basis and find the consensus unanimous. I can’t see how one could compare it to a VSG except for price, when this cigar is clearly outstanding, and deserving of #1. Only drawback: $28.50 - $30.00. Welcome to California.

I have now had half a dozen of these and beyond the complexity and draw they have been dead on consistant. The quality is there. But that is what I think everyone has come to expect from the Padron line.

This cigar is pretty awesome. It has a LOT of smoke and burns very evenly and fast. I got bitter cocoa, and espresso/coffee flavors with underlying sweet tones.
I really enjoyed this smoke. The Rocky Patel decade and Ashton VSG Torpedo were both on par with this cigar too though.
Padron 26 and 64s are incredible smokes. Perfect construction, draw and of course, incredible flavor. I don't know if its #1, but it certainly deserves a spot near the top in my books.

The 1926 is a very good smoke,That said I think the 1964 edges it out. IMO. I have two more resting in the Humidor so we will see if they change my mind..

Not bad. Kind of like the Ashton. I Much prefer the RP Decade Torpedo or the Oliva V Torpedo. Those two are excellent and far superior in taste, finish and flavor.
