      Here's the thing. This is a once in lifetime release. One of a kind for padron and Fuente. When they are gone they are gone forever. It's not like it's a regular production cigar. The price tag is what it is. I don't have a problem paying for some singles to enjoy at a very very special occasion. These cigars are for the Industry workers shop owners and people who understand and respect and love the story of what these cigars represent and truly understanding.

    The cigar industry is no stranger to family-owned businesses, some of which have lasted more than a century. In this unique issue of Cigar Aficionado, we highlight two of industry's most lauded cigar companies, the Fuente and Padrón families, and the special joint project led by Jorge Padrón and Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr. to honor their fathers and industry pioneers José Orlando Padrón and Carlos Fuente Sr. We also take a look at 15 other cigar family dynasties who's industry success has spanned generations.

      @anthonymazzola4470 Месяц назад +3

      This is an unbiased review. All of our reviews are truly what we taste & believe about the cigar/factory. When it comes to price people forget that wine makers, distilleries & even car manufacturers have levels of quality & pricing. They have a baseline, mid tier & luxury offerings. Why is it so offensive to some people that the cigar industry has that same process at times as well? I see people taking the pricing personal. That mindset is misguided.

    • @joshuaford9942
      @joshuaford9942 Месяц назад

      On Lamborghini’s there’s Audi and Volkswagen parts.
      In Johnny Walker blue there are over 300 whiskeys blended in it.
      I’ve watched practically all of your reviews and you never give any negative reviews because you have a business that is run on a platform of advertising what you sell.
      Every high end stick that people who have nothing to gain always say the same thing “amazing stick, not worth the price”.
      I get that the real estate to age tobacco costs the company money…..but if that cigar has the same profile as a 1926, or Opux X 888…..why would you pay 6x the price?
