Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro - which size & shape?

[jncasey]

Hello

I'm admittedly a novice when it comes to cigars. Looking for size & shape recommendations on a Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro. I've found many positive reviews on Diplomatico & Torpedo. Is it really just personal preference? 

 

Thanks!

It is in my opinion. I find the taste and burn pretty consistent across the sizes, and my preferences are the Exclusivo and Principe. But I like smaller cigars.

I agree. I’d go with the size you like to start with. The line is pretty consistent.

I like Principe and Diplomático, the latter I think natural more than maduro as opposed to with the former.

Principe criminally underrated IMO. Great size.

I agree that Padrons tend to be consistent across their vitolas. I too don't favour one size over another.

Currently have a box of 1964 Principe, but also enjoy a long/skinny. 1964 Superior 6 1/2 X 42 gauge.

My favorite is the 1964 Hermoso, although I prefer the naturals over the Maduro.

I second the Hermoso, what a great cigar

Picked up a pair of Exclusivo Natural and Diplomatico Maduro. Interesting box shape. Trying out the Exclusivo Natural now with a glass of Eagle Rare. Very smooth and peppery. 

Are the 1964 Anniversary Series fairly easy to find at local shops or did I just get lucky?
