Templeton - sounds interesting! There are only a handful of American Ryes available here - unfortunately, Templeton isn't one of them.

JLP Conservas - uncomplicated, just sweet well-aged tobacco.

Padron '64 Pyramide Natural. Well I must say I was not very impressed. Much cheaper cigars out there that are better to me. Oh well maybe I need to develop my palate a little more or try the Maduro next time.

I like the Padron '26's much better than the 64's. and have to say I like the Padron 1000 series more Han the 64's - so I don't think you're crazy, Frank.

But - I had me one of those Padron '26 #35's this evening. What a great cigar!

...and I supported my local B&M by slightly overpaying - but not a bad deal to pay for a very nice shop with overstuffed leather chairs and good company!

Since George hasn't fixed the clock, I don't know if these qualify as "Today's smokes" but I smoked a:

Davidoff Double R on the way to the Jersey Shore on Thursday night and a
Davidoff Nicaragua petit corona on the way home Friday morning.

I will be trying the '26 soon and see how it compares. Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy buddy but some would argue the point with you.

Celebrating the sale of my house and a new job by smoking the Padron 1926 80 Years I received from my 2011 Secret Santa.

Friday night: Bolivar PC - this was a fresh one and the most full bodied CC I have had so far. It was very good.

Today: Padron Londres Maduro for breakfast

HdM Epi #1 - Sunday morning read the (virtual) paper with coffee cigar.

Oliva V Beli - I had a dozen left in the box, and they were going to be the first up in my "cigars that I don't smoke" sell-off. However, I tried one tonight after supper, and, geez, I think that I will keep them now.

VMark - Congratulations! :-)

BowHH: I have found that 64's (and '26*s to some extent) don't really age that well. Regular series seem to settle down (I think) with a couple years, but the '64's that I have sat on have been disappointments given the cost.

ETA: Mind you, I smoked a 2-year-old (Padron dates their boxes) Londres Maduro last night and it didnt have the taste that Padron's have new, nor the usual two-year old taste. It appears that Min Ron Nee math (3 years in a display box = 5 years in a 'sealed' box) applies to x000's as well.
