    Do like me. Just pronounce "J" like "H", and then keep the cigar in your mouth while talking to cover up any other errors.

    I can remember when I went to the shop to buy my first Padron, I kept calling it a Pardon. Everytime I had seen them I thought the "R" was in front of the "D" not after it, haha. Apparently im dislexic. No wonder the guy that was working at the shop that day looked at me like I was stoopid.

    as I posted earlier, the I in spanish is pronounced the same as the e in see. To be correct, Siglo is pronounced, see - glow. In Americanish, sig-lo is the pronunciation.
