Once leaves have finished the fermentation process, they get sorted and bundled in a way that stops the fermentation. then they can be aged any number of years.. some get aged in old liquor barrels, or "en tercio" wrapped in palm leaves.

I remember reading something last year when I was getting into planting tobacco of my own (not for personal consumption, more out of infatuation), and it mentioned something similar to this. If I can find the article, I'll edit this post.

The article is here.

Probably one of my favorite cigars of all times, although technically it was the 4000 maduro that got my attention initially.

Interesting replies. I learned a lot. Thanks gents. Let me clarify exactly what the guy said.
I was buying a few of the 3000's he came out and I told him I really liked these 3000's. He said "That is the same blend as the 1964, Age it for three years and you have a 1964."

Thanks for the additional (correct)information.

What would be fun is to have some aged 3000's and do a blind taste test between the two.

I am no expert and many good answers have been presented, but clearly there is a distinct difference in the two products mentioned.

For example, I went to the Volkswagen dealer the other day and bought a new '10 Beetle. The salesman told me, "Age that for a few years, then paint it 'guards red', and you have a Porsche." It's made from the same parts, right?




Hey, badwhale, that's an odd coincidence. I ran into a guy over by Tampa that gave me some of those 3000's to try. He looked a little shady, though. I bet they're fake...

I am sorry to tell you that your local B&M info is incorrect.
Though all Padron's .....Series, 1964 and 1926 are sungrown.......none use similar tobacco grades or blends.

That's good to know. I will not waste three expecting a 1964. But a little age on them won't hurt.
I will tell him that he is wrong next time I see him and ask him where he got that kind of information. Probably form a Padron Sales Rep I would imagine. Thanks everyone.

I thought the thousand series had coco mix and the 64's and 26's didn't? Now you guys have me all confused.
