    This crap is confusing.
    LMAO!

    Padron is a brand and most brands have different lines and each line usually has different sizes. Some Padron lines are:

    Padron Serie 1926
    Padron Anniversary 1964
    Padron Thousand series

    Now the different sizes of Padron 1926 are:

    #1
    #2
    #6
    #9
    #35

    and each one is the same tobacco but different diameters and different lengths. A Padron 1926 #1 is 6 3/4" long and "ring gauge" of 54 which means it's 54/64" in diameter. A Padron 1926 #9 is 5 1/4" long with a ring gauge of 56 so it's a little shorter and a little fatter than a #1. The Padron 1926s are probably the most expensive Padron (except for some of the limited edition ones which cost even more). A box of 1926 is 24 cigars and a box of #1 will go for around $450.00. If you don't want to spend that much, get him a five pack which will run about $100.00. I'd recommend a five pack for him for Christmas. There are two kinds of 1926s, natural wrapper and maduro wrapper, the maduro wrapped ones seem to be preferred by most cigar smokers over the natural ones.

    Get him a five pack of Padron 1926 #9 or #2 maduros and he'll be a very happy guy. I think you can order them from famous.smoke.com

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    The issue with my husband, is that when he finds a new "hobby", he dives in and goes full force. This man has literally an entire "wineador" (is that how you spell it?) full of cigars, top to bottom. He has purchased probably hundreds already, and has a good idea of what he likes.

    I do know that I am going to get him some nice lighter, he mentioned needing a good quality butane lighter (of course, I have no idea what constitutes a good cigar lighter) and also a floor ashtray.

    I really wanted to get him some "special" cigars. I try to pay attention to the names of these things, but gracious, they are really long, and all sound the same to me. I call them all Del Fuegos haha (if you've ever seen Wild Hogs).

    Anyways, some "special ones" he mentioned were (and forgive me if I totally screw up the names..)

    Liga Privada Dirty Rat and T52 flying pig.

    Apparently, he just got an order of the dirty rats, so he is good. However, apparently, these T52 things are impossible to find. Sold out and on backorder everywhere. He really was serious when he said you can't find them. I'd love to just be able to buy him like 5 of these T52 things. Or even just 2 of them, one he could smoke, one he could save. But alas, I feel like I'll never find them. I was even willing to spend good money on them, b/c I know it would mean alot.

    You guys wouldn't happen to know when Drew Estates releases more of these things, would you?
