You can never go wrong with a My Father
Is that an elephant I see in the background?Enjoyed a wonderful selection of Padron 1926 and other Family/Anniversary sticks over the last 20 days. Hands down fav was this Maduro 1926, think it’s a #9. I bought a box just before departing for Africa, and since I brought several of the 5-8 stick sampler boxes, I only brought 3. Sad mistake as they were amazing. All very, very good, but this one was a clear standout. View attachment 762568
Aging Room Nicaragua at the most exciting 2 minutes in sports, and this year’s upset was definitely exciting.

Padron’s are my favorite cigar and the 1926 is one of the best. You are definitely in the right place to enjoy themEnjoyed a wonderful selection of Padron 1926 and other Family/Anniversary sticks over the last 20 days.

That is a cool story! Before the kids I would be in south Florida every other week fishing and many of my friends parents are Fidel runoff’s run charters or other businesses( fishing tied us all together) First thing I learned is that as big as Miami and the surrounding areas are it’s really a small community in everyone is approachable and many are very friendly, it’s crazy who you could meet at a restaurant or out at the beach.I'm a huge fan of Padron Aniversario cigars, and in my humble opinion, they are the best cigars in the cigar market. The 1926 series was made for Mr. Padron's birth year. My favorite is the 1964, maduro.
About 25 years ago or so, I was living in Homestead FL and dating this girl who lived in Miami and worked at an allergy center in Coral Gables. She called me one day to let me know that Mr. Jose Padron and his wife were in her clinic. I asked her to let me know next time they were scheduled to visit. Well, on that day I just happened to be there. They walked in, I introduced myself to him and told him how much I like his cigars. We spoke about cigars like two old friends. He was so humble and down to earth that if you didn't know, you wouldn't know he was the owner of the Padron cigars. Then my girlfriend walked out for them to be seen. From that day on, every time they came to be seen, Mrs. Padron would bring a small 5 pack sampler for my girlfriend to bring to me.
I watch the Derby every year. At 24/1 the Golden Tempo upset probably made some people pretty happy.Aging Room Nicaragua at the most exciting 2 minutes in sports, and this year’s upset was definitely exciting.

Mr. Pardon and son from the documentary’s I’ve seen always seemed like a down to earth gentleman. Nick Perodomo is like that as well he will talk with anyone and remember you which is cool

That's a sexy ashtray, brother. I figured you would put it to good use.
