Hi Anthony. Ive been smoking Cuban cigars for 35 years now. Recently (8 months now) I got into the new world offerings. So, I’ve now come across your fine channel. Wanted to say thanks for the sharp and well planned etiquette. Not only this video but in them all. Real ones See real ones. God bless you good Sir. David.
Mazz, Please bring Jorge Padrón & Carlos Fuente, Jr. together in a video. About this collaboration. Those two men are living legends in the cigar industry.
Idk how monumental it can be when there is so little production and the boxes are $7k a piece so the bulk of the consumers that help build the brands cant enjoy
@@CameronLestagez absurd opinion. cars are already expensive as their own. padron and fuente has already been making an affordable options for more than decade now. better comparison is like hershey and cadbury collabing to make a 3 grand candy bar lmao
Jorge Padron is a member at the Gun Club I work at. He is a very down to earth and polite gentleman and it’s always a pleasure to see him walk through the front door. And you best believe we keep our Humidor stocked with Padron cigars. Much respect to Jorge Padron
My buddy had his bachelor party in vegas, and we hit the resorts world cigar lounge. Fuente was my first cigar. Ive been smoking a couple a week for the past 6 months, and ive since fallen in love with padrons. Having this cigar is definitely on my to do list. This has also become one of my favorite channels. Keep up the good work boys.
Underrated collab cigar is the Diamond Crown Maximus. JC Newman X Fuente X Oliva Tobacco. Rolling and Dominican fillers by Fuente, Oliva grown Ecuadorian wrapper… fantastic smoke
There’s something so inspiring about moments like in this video. It reminds me there’s always new opportunities and special things coming. Love the channel! I hope everyone is doing well.
The packaging is gorgeous! The stick looks delectable. And your description of the flavor notes has me licking my lips. I can almost taste it. Great video Gentlemen.
Gents what a video. Hat off for both of you. Can only imagine what it would be, to able to smoke both of them. What a momentous to be in as a cigar aficionado.
You guys are the best ... I mean I watch and follow only 3 other cigar channels (top 3) but you 2 are the best every video every spirit pairing with a cigar is a testament
Just throwing this out there, Imagine if they blended each other’s tobacco ? They put their own take on what each family grows….. that would be amazing
Excellent vid guys. Two legendary families producing the ultimate smoke to honor their patriarchs. Reviewed and smoke by 2 true classy enthusiasts. Love it👍🔥
Price is price 🤷🏽♂️ It’s all about the memory of enjoyment. Some folks have worked hard for years and a 200$ stick feels very rewarding. Don’t matter if your income is 40k or 15milli At the end of the day We’re all just smoking a cigar and having a damn good time.
I was excited to see this, so much so I ran over to walnut to find out they didn’t have em 😢. Would have been my post Broad Street Run smoke. One day….Love the videos, cheers gents
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.
We paired it with the AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes in a previous video. Look up our video titled "AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Review | History, Tasting Notes, Whiskey Pairing"
This is featured on the cover of Cigar Aficianado: A Tale Of Two Families • September/October 2022 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.
Phenomenal job on this episode men 🤜🏽🤛🏽 I need to see IF my friends/ local cigar lounge can order this cigar blend pkg ✅ I CAN’T WAIT to smoke this cigar collab. I love Fuente cigars 💪🏽
So... let me say I LOVE the page and I'm a subscriber. I went out and spent the $7k on this release based on the post. I was not impressed, I like THE UNION with Tatajue and MFC much better. When are you going to review the Patron Black, I have a couple boxes from the US allocation and love THEM. YOU SHOULD REVIEW THOSE!!
If I had an opportunity to smoke one of these cigars, I definitely wouldn’t influence the taste with any type of drink. Knowing the caliber of this collaboration. Just my opinion.
Quick question from a newbie, what do you think about a lighter that comes with what I call a “ hole punch “ for end of the cigar..is that good for getting a good draw off a cigar?
“Arturo Fuente and Padrón is priced at $7,115 per box of 40 cigars, roughly $178 per cigar.” So Gurkha handled the packaging and pricing? Can we hope for a 90% off sale anytime down the road?
That's really a personal decision. If you want to save them for a special occasion there's nothing wrong with that and these blends will age very nicely!
This was awesome, especially the beginning. You guys were like 2 kids in a candy store (Fantastic) Great vlog guys... I enjoyed this very much... Thank you for sharing and letting all of us cigar enthusiasts be a part of this .. 🙏
For $178US it’s a lot but not that crazy considering what it is. If you’re a true aficionado it’s not that crazy to spend once a year on a cigar. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to have one in the next two years.
Decades and decades of trial and error to master their craft. A decade or more of aging leaves selected from the best of the best of the best crops. They took all the risk and deserve the reward.

it’s like ford and ferrari doing a collab, not everyone can own a ferrari , it’s just the fact that they worked together on a project,

7k for a box? For real?

both u two are legends too

You knocked it out of the park with this one gents. Great video capturing the significance and history behind this collaboration. Salute.
Much appreciated, cheers!

Going to pick up a pair when I close on a home I’m building in a month. Going to be the first I smoke there.
Awesome, congratulations!

Thank you very much 🙏
That's an amazing collaboration. All the tasting notes that have been mentioned sounds phenomenal!
Two legendary families, two legendary cigar makers, honor two legendary founders, isn’t that magnificent?
No comment can be made to complement such a nice video!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Just throwing this out there, Imagine if they blended each other’s tobacco ? They put their own take on what each family grows….. that would be amazing
Great video. The blazer and tie that Foccia has on look really sharp.
Can you please cover KRISTOFF cigars ... they are easily in my top 3 brands - Thank you
Two of the best new world cigar blenders in the world.. Can't go wrong.
Great video fellas. Loved all the conversation you two had about the two families.
The avengers assembled
Jorge Padrón & Carlos Fuente, Jr. said “ Fine I’ll do it Myself.”
can't wait to try one.
You gents are super fortunate to be able to experience those sticks! They are unicorns...
Excellent vid guys. Two legendary families producing the ultimate smoke to honor their patriarchs. Reviewed and smoke by 2 true classy enthusiasts. Love it👍🔥
Bought 1 of each through your website, I think I’m gonna sit on em for a while and let em age. Excellent site by the way and awesome channel!
Learned abt the pointy burn...very interesting that is leaf burn and Ligureo burns slower. Thanks
I'm envious.
For the average smoker this is a unicorn. I like the idea but, I will never be able to smoke it. Thanks for letting us live through you.
Thanks for watching!
Got one of each. I wish i could get a box but im happy with 2
Price is price 🤷🏽♂️
It’s all about the memory of enjoyment. Some folks have worked hard for years and a 200$ stick feels very rewarding. Don’t matter if your income is 40k or 15milli
At the end of the day We’re all just smoking a cigar and
having a damn good time.

I was excited to see this, so much so I ran over to walnut to find out they didn’t have em 😢. Would have been my post Broad Street Run smoke. One day….Love the videos, cheers gents
I wouldn't spend $150+ on a single cigar, I find it very greedy from cigar manufacturers to put such an insane price tag.
maybe if it came with a lighter or some swag. But for a single cigar, i’m good

They probably have to charge a ton or else they’d lose money on the R&D alone.
@@The_Loathsome 😆
@@CameronLestagez agree with accessories.
I enjoy both brands
I know this is a few months old now, but I’d love to see the boys do a review of the La Union with Tatuaje & My Father. Very similar in all aspects. ❤
The green spot on the shelf disappeared. I was waiting for a pairing.
We paired it with the AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes in a previous video. Look up our video titled "AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Review | History, Tasting Notes, Whiskey Pairing"
Damn i can almost taste the flavour notes as they talk about em 🥰

The article also mentioned the proceeds are going to charity.
Thank you so much
is this Cigar out in the states? I would love to try this cigar. awesome to see two legend made a cigar together.
They have this box sitting at the brick and mortar down the road. I drool every time I see it
Morning 😊 Awesome Tasting Video 👌🏽 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
I would have loved to hear more about the Padron side seemed Fuentes heavy.
When the General's excited about a tasting, you know the cigar is special.
Phenomenal job on this episode men 🤜🏽🤛🏽 I need to see IF my friends/ local cigar lounge can order this cigar blend pkg ✅ I CAN’T WAIT to smoke this cigar collab. I love Fuente cigars 💪🏽

YOU SHOULD REVIEW THOSE!!
We most likely will at some point 👍
Great video gents, cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely legendary cigars from TWO famous brands thanks for sharing this experience!
wow, speechless, this is insane, bet is so hard to get outside of usa
dang! I'm sure that is an amazing smoke.
It’s amazing for sure. But almost all cigar enthusiasts will never get the chance to smoke, let alone see one. Awesome regardless.
Can you tell me what guitar is behind you. Looks great.
Great Videos Gentlemen
My local shops don't have singles, I would pay for a single, but I can't pay to have it shipped, and hope it arrives in 100% condition.
Well done gents, well done!
Fantastic video really enjoyed👍🔥
This brought a tear to my eye. Kinda just wanted to throw my cigar out the window, but not really cause I paid for it.
Two legends smoking cigars manufactured by two legends!
🙏
Enjoying a Montecristo 1935 anniversary while watching. Salud!
🥃🔥
If I had an opportunity to smoke one of these cigars, I definitely wouldn’t influence the taste with any type of drink. Knowing the caliber of this collaboration. Just my opinion.
Fair enough!
My Padron from Holts was supposed to be delivered today but no. Hopefully tomorrow 😢
❤ my guys 🎉
I’m commenting again for the algorithm! I hope it helps 🤷♂️
😂🙏
Quick question from a newbie, what do you think about a lighter that comes with what I call a “ hole punch “ for end of the cigar..is that good for getting a good draw off a cigar?
They're very handy and do just fine. If you have a larger ring gauge cigar just go for a figure 8 shape and you'll be good to go 👍
That’s Fuentes rosado SG wrapper
I thought the exact same thing. The red hue is a giveaway. That Rodado wrapper is the truth.
Like Jordan and Jordan
Try JW green. You'll never go back...
Had the fuente legends last night. Very good cigar, not worth the price though.
“Arturo Fuente and Padrón is priced at $7,115 per box of 40 cigars, roughly $178 per cigar.”
So Gurkha handled the packaging and pricing? Can we hope for a 90% off sale anytime down the road?
lol
I was excited to watch this after listening to Kendrick Lamar cook Drake like a Crockpot
I was excited for this too for the last 2 years until I saw the price
I bought 1 single of each do I smoke or save them
That's really a personal decision. If you want to save them for a special occasion there's nothing wrong with that and these blends will age very nicely!
This was awesome, especially the beginning. You guys were like 2 kids in a candy store (Fantastic)
Great vlog guys...
I enjoyed this very much... Thank you for sharing and letting all of us cigar enthusiasts be a part of this .. 🙏
Are these available at holts for purchase?
It's the biggest release since The Bible.
😂
😅😅😅😅
I imagine there being fine cigars and liquor in heaven. Happy smoking fellas.
I doubt if they'll ever wash up on Ireland's shores🤷🏼♂️
Are these available yet
very nice. That "punta de lanza" is exactly a sign of perfect proportional rolling, perfect combustion and the smoker is pulling at the right pace.
Watching this while smoking a Drew Estate River Valley Nightshade😂
For $178US it’s a lot but not that crazy considering what it is. If you’re a true aficionado it’s not that crazy to spend once a year on a cigar. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to have one in the next two years.
Wait, when did this drop? And who has them? Holts?
Just went to the website to buy a stick or even a box...is that a typo...$7115 for a box?!
On a separate note....awesome video as always!!!!!!!
Foutch is like okay okay lets smoke
😂
would a glenmorangie signet pair even better?
That would work as well.
@@anthonymazzola4470 hi Anthony, rarely see u in the comment section. signet is one of the sweetest scotch whiskey i tried
Just picked up a Fuenta and 1926 Padron
A new release like this is like a brand new Jordan sneaker drop!
I’m a big fan of both families, but I’m more into Padron. Respectfully these are way overpriced and in no way justified.
Blue label??
Did I maybe miss it? Which cigar are they smoking, the cigar made by fuente or the cigar made by padron?
Yes and yes. One and the same.
I was under the impression there was 40 cigars total... 20 made by fuente and 20 made by padron? I thought they were different blends?
There are 40 cigars, 20 made by each. Mazz was smoking the blend by Fuente and Faccia was smoking the blend by Padrón.
I need to start buying lottery tickets more often.
I can’t afford it. But happy dime stacking to those that are lucky enough to smoke one of these bad boys.
👍🏾🔥👍🏾
Looks yummy
$7k a box so much cigars being the great equaliser
This entire comment section is divided
Lets get them to add the garcia family! That would be the ultimate father combination of respect
agreed that would be cool. But my father has done so many blends for other companies. Padron usually stays to themselves similar to fuentes
7,000 for a humidor and cigars to expensive for me 170.00 for one cigar
Way too expensive. They crapped on the people who made them who they are. Only the rich can afford them. Totally lame.
How dare Volkswagen make Porsches and Lamborghini when I can't afford them, totally lame.
Decades and decades of trial and error to master their craft. A decade or more of aging leaves selected from the best of the best of the best crops. They took all the risk and deserve the reward.
@@mwgallotte1 Simps everywhere.
@@DaleFairdaleall industries have examples like this. Spot on. 🎯
Mad cuz poor
7 grand for a box of 40? Sorry, but I'll pass.
