Same boat for me . Prefer the #77 and then the #48 followed by the Opus Super Beli , the Chateau and the Petit Lancero .

I love them both!
The opus are no more expensive than the padron.

Padron 64 Maduro for me. The 1926 is a fine fine cigar, but I prefer the 64. Never had a good Opus X and never even seen an Anejo in person.

64s, 26s, and Anejos are all excellent, but I think I'd put the 64s on top.
Too many Opus X have been burned that simply didn't satisfy me - I am saying that if costs were equal to other sticks in my humidor, many would be picked before an Opus.
Of course, I willing to be proven wrong.
I do have a few that have been aging for a while. I am hoping that time will improve them, but till then, I haven't smoke a 6 year old Opus to say definitively that they are that much better.

Padron 64 Nat or Mad For me, The best and most consistant out of the group. The simple part for me is Nicaraguan Tobacco for complexity, taste, and overall enjoyment is as close to Cuban leaf as it gets to me. Taste is of course subjective and there are certainly wiser men and women than I on this earth. I just know and enjoy what I like.
Despite all this and having met Carlos, Carlito, and Jorge I have to say, to me Rocky is the nicest and will always have a special place in my heart. I love/like and enjoy all of them and their work.

I voted PAM 64 but love Anejos and FFOX with some age on them
Doesn't vitola refer to a size within a marca??

I have a handful of the 64s and 26s, but I will probably use most of them for trades except the 64 naturals. Those will definitely get smoked!
:-)
and yeah, the msrp on the Opus aren't too bad, but whenever I see them for sale they are marked up into silly territory. My neighborhood B&M has a box that look to be about 5X38s and they are selling for $25 each. lol
still, if price is not a factor, my vote goes for the Opus.

Very interesting. I chose the Anrjo but I'm smoking a Padron 1964 torp tonight. I'm looking forward to the comparison.

I would be curious to see if people would prefer the Padron Anny Series in either natural or maduro. Both seem to have an avid following but I wonder which would win.

Anejo for the simple reason, I havent had one in SOO long i cannot remember how good they are haha. Impossible to find in my area, but the ons i have had I did enjoy 100X more than an opus to say the least

Hard to go wrong with the Anejo, so it got my vote. No aging, never an issue. I'll take a 46 just about any day.
But, they are
ALL good.
