All sizes come in lacquered cedar boxes of 26, packaged with cellophane sleeves on individual cigars. Many vendors list a box size of 25. I am not entirely sure why that is.

From the Padron website .....

"We deliver only the finest, handmade, complex cigars with the flavor of the Cuban heritage out of which the Padron recipe was born. Our primary mission is the exceptional quality of our product, not the quantity produced. As a vertically integrated, family-owned company, we pay personal attention to every detail throughout all steps of our tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing process. Because we strive to give you, the smoker, the confidence that each cigar is the same ... perfect."

The Keepers of the Flame Padron Series Roundup

This comparison review is one in a series on the original Padron line of cigars. When we have completed reviews on the entire line, a vertical tasting for each wrapper will be published. Each review will be an amalgam opinion of cigarfan and lucky7 along with that of the guest reviewer(s). Our guest reviewers for this vitola are:

Padron Series 5000 - Natural and Maduro

Of the three robustos produced for the classic Padron Series (the others are the 3000 and the 2000) the 5000 has the largest ring gauge. While it is dwarfed by the 7000's ham-fisted 60 ring, the 5000 at 56 still feels "fat" in the hand. It still falls within the general dimensions of the "robusto" range, but it's definitely on the wide side.

Natural

As with many other cigars in the Padron series the natural selection is no looker, but it makes up for its lackluster appearance with decent construction. Ironmeden's initial assessment of the 5000 natural was that

...the construction of the cigar was solid... with a slight give, but it felt packed. The wrapper was a medium brown in shade which was quite veiney with a blotchy look to the wrapper.

Lucky7 and cigarfan found the cigar to be lumpy and bumpy -- large veins in the binder leaf produced small ridges on the surface of the cigar that didn't detract from its appearance superficially, but were a tactile distraction. Scott didn't find much to crow about here either:

I am a little less than impressed with the way it looks. There are a few large veins running the length of the stick, and the wrapper is blotted and a little odd looking... I don't really like the way it looks.

The prelight draw on the 5000 natural varied from "loose" to "very loose" to "too loose." Cigarfan in particular had issues with the loose draw and suspected that it may have caused the cigar to burn hot and underperform in general. The sticks were all quite firm and did not feel underfilled, so perhaps there was a problem with the bunching.

Most of us found the cold taste unremarkable but pleasant -- a simple sweet tobacco flavor, with the standard scents. Scott, on the other hand, had a prelight revelation: coffee, cocoa, chocolate and leather. And that's before he even lit the cigar!

It took us a while to get the foot toasted and burning properly, but once going it proved to be a little bit rough for the first half-inch or so, gradually mellowing out into a slightly tannic woody flavor. Ironmeden found that "the taste was light and had an enjoyable smoky aroma. There was a bitterness to the cigar for about the first inch highlighted by a woody taste."

Ironmeden's Famous Reviewing Stand

Lucky7 discovered the trademark flavors of the Padron Series: toasted wood and leather, along with "an aroma of strong tea with a twang," and notes of vanilla, spice and fruit. The flavors that Scott sensed before lighting up returned in the first third as well:

As I lit up this cigar, the experience was much the same as the many other Padrons that I have enjoyed in my smoking career. The flavor was very good, with lots of leather and coffee right off the bat, with the chocolate flavor muted a little bit in the background.

Ironmeden's 5000 Natural - 1st Ash

Despite the loose draw the 5000 natural burned well, if not perfectly. The burn line tends to waver a bit, and as Ironmeden noticed, the veiny binder leaf leaves its traces in the ash. Appearances aside, the medium-gray ash holds strong for almost three inches.

Lucky7's 5000 Natural Ash

The 5000 really opened up for Scott and Ironmeden in the mid-section. For Scott, "...the leather flavor faded into the background and the coffee and chocolate flavors made themselves prominently known... I am really enjoying this smoke, and I am usually a Maduro fan." And Ironmeden went so far as to invoke the holy of holies, the Padron 1964 Anniversary: "The light flavors coming from the cigar were reminiscent of the Padron 1964 cigar...at this point the cigar was still mild and relaxing without the noted bitterness at the start of the cigar." Lucky7 and cigarfan didn't find anything quite so superlative, just a short crisp finish with a "note of toasted wood and a hint of pepper."

The flavor continues to build into the last third, dropping any pretence at sweetness and becoming more serious. Some coffee flavors linger in the background, but the focus turns to burnt wood and char with "major pepper" in the last inch. Ironmeden notes that "just over the halfway point the light flavors seemed to disappear which led to the bitter taste again. This lasted all the way to the end of the cigar." Scott observed that it was still burning cool for him and the coffee and chocolate flavors were still prominent. And the most telling detail of all: "I puffed all the way down to the nub."

Maduro

The 5000 Maduro is quite distinct from the Natural, in appearance as well as character. It is several shades darker than the natural and displays all the qualities typical of well fermented tobacco leaf: more oils, prominent grain, and an earthy prelight scent. Scott noted coffee and leather as prelight scents, while Ironmeden found it to have an almost chocolate appearance and remarked, “It looks good enough to eat.”

It’s not quite as lumpy as the natural, and the draw provides more resistance. Once again it takes some a little effort to get this one started, but once going it seems to be a bit smoother than many of the other maduros in the series. While most of the maduros we’ve reviewed so far have opened up with a peppery prelude, the 5000 launches straight into classic maduro flavors: chocolate, coffee, and their familiar sweet overtones.

Scott and Ironmeden’s first-third impressions are very similar to their thoughts about the natural, except that Scott found the maduro to be a little harsher. Lucky7 and cigarfan found the flavors to be sweet and woody with some cocoa in the mix, and by comparison with other maduros in the line, the 5000 is considerably smoother.

And like the natural, the maduro version builds a nice strong ash and the burn is basically even, with two reviewers reporting a tilting burn toward the end of the cigar.

Lucky7's 5000 Maduro Ash

The mid-section brings more coffee flavors to the fore while toasted wood continues in the background. The aroma grows a bit sweeter and picks up some char. Scott’s notes:

As I puffed on this cigar, at this point I was about 50 minutes into the enjoyment, and the coffee flavor faded into the background and the leather flavors made themselves prominently known. ...I was really enjoying this smoke, and the longer it lasted, the better! The smoke was still very abundant, and began to have a nice sweet smell to it similar to the natural. I am realy enjoying this smoke, more than I enjoyed the natural.

The last third turns up the heat and the flavors become more carbonized -- burnt wood, burnt coffee with a sharp sweet tang, and a peppery char that eventually turns bitter. Lucky7 reported that the last third was unusually hot -- we've had this experience with the smaller ring gauges in this series, but not the larger ones. Scott liked the maduro just as well as the natural -- a little more in fact -- and "smoked this one to the point where my lips were burning."

On the other hand, Ironmeden felt the maduro 5000 was a bit of a let down:

The taste from the cigar, like the Natural, was bitter but it was more harsh. The aftertaste in my mouth wasn't pleasant. Again I noted a chocolate flavor from this cigar. The bitterness lasted through the first 2 inches and at times was quite unbearable. I did start to get the "Padron" flavor but it was so light due to the harshness of the cigar... I was expecting as I went through the cigar that it would ramp up in flavor, but it never did.

Now to make sure I didn't get a bad cigar I went to two different cigar shops where I purchased a 3000 and 6000 and both of them were not as harsh, but the bitterness was there all the way through both sticks. I think it might just be me, but my palate just didn't groove with the Maduro wrapper.

Conclusion

Based on our widely varying experiences it is difficult to conclude that the 5000 is better in one particular wrapper; Ironmeden loved the natural and disliked the maduro; cigarfan loved the maduro and disliked the natural. Lucky7 and Scott liked them both, but lucky7 gave a slight edge to the natural and Scott gave a slight edge to the maduro. It's not easy to find a consensus here.

We can't reasonably conclude that there are quality control issues at play because both reviewers who had negative reactions went out and bought extra cigars to test them independently, and both came away with the same opinion after smoking cigars from these different boxes. If it isn't inconsistency, what is it? Operator error, perhaps?

The draw on the natural 5000 was by all accounts extremely loose, and the maduro was only slightly better. We think this may have contributed to the bad experiences because a very loose draw requires a different smoking method, and it could very well be that neither reviewer modified their smoking "style" to compensate for this flaw in the cigar. The result was a hot burn and a bitter taste.

But this is only a theory. At the end of the day, cigar smoking is an art, and the beauty (as well as the bitter) is in the palate of the smoker. Some of us have found a great robusto in the 5000 natural and others in the maduro, and some of us may simply opt for other vitolas -- I suspect this is why Padron makes so many of them.

Our thanks to Ironmeden and Scott for participating in the Padron Roundup. This has been a great experience for everyone, and we look forward to more of Scott's forthright reviews at Cigar Command and the tobacco tales of Ironmeden at The Velvet Cigar.

... cigarfan & lucky7

Rockhopper in CP!!! (and 5000 hits!!!!!!)

How To find Rockhopper

Rockhopper stands out in crowds because of his tall hat.

Rockhopper is as you probably know, Club Penguin’s penguin. He is hard to find for penguins who have not received any tips on how to locate him and that is why I have decided to make this page. Ok now to Rockhopper.

Rockhopper’s favorite servers are Mittens, Mammoth, Parka and the very populated American servers. Parka, though he doesn’t seem to go to often, because even though Rockhopper is Club Penguin’s penguin, Rockhopper still has to be able to get on to his ship. Rockhopper needs to be able to get on to his ship because Rockhopper lives there. When his ship is full Rockhopper won’t go on the server where his ship is full. Parka also is what some might call the Rockhopper fan club because Rockhopper fans go crazy on that server and it takes sometimes ten minutes to get to the hold of the ship.

Rockhopper is best to try to find at 10:00 AM Club Penguin Standard Time because then he is normally on a British server and there are fewer British servers then American servers.

I know of one very useful trick to find Rockhopper to see if Rockhopper is on or not. This trick works only with Rockhopper and Billybob. Type in Rockhopper and any random password with over four letters. If it says you are banned for life Rockhopper is logged off but if it says “incorrect password”Rockhopper is logged on and on a server.

Rockhopper used to give away the Eye Patch but now he gives away an Autographed Background. Rockhopper goes to the Pizza Parlor, Night Club, Town, Cove, Forest, Iceberg, Dock, Snow Forts, Beach, Ship Hold, Ship Deck, and sometimes the Dojo. Rockhopper can not be your buddy. You can only ignore him, but then you still see a smiley face even if you ignore him. He is sometimes a robot and sometimes a human but I have only seen him on as a robot. When he is a robot, he just says “Follow me Crew!” dances, and waves, but when he is a human, he answers questions and stuff.

Rockhopper can be on any random server but he must be on Club Penguin to do so. If you are wondering why there was a Rockhopper party, it was because the Ship Hold just opened. Rockhopper is often referred to as RH because who wants to spend their time typing out Rockhopper all the time?

You can’t meet Bambadee he is just a story character like Harry Potter. An easy way to check if Rockhopper is on a server is go to the beach only, if it’s completely flooded Rockhopper might be on that server but if it’s deserted Rockhopper is not on that server.

Rockhopper is only on one server at a time. When he is logged on because he only can be on one server at a time. Rockhopper is actually bigger than the average Penguin as well. He wear’s a hat so when there is a crowed around him he can be sighted easily. If you send Rockhopper a postcard he will send you one back to but he can’t be your friend. Also a lot of people yell out “Rockhopper on Tundra” or “Rockhopper on Mittens” when you are on a very populated server where Rockhopper might be, IGNORE THEM it is normally a trick.

It’s probably also a good idea to have a list of all the populated servers and x them out when Rockhopper is not on one. But most importantly Rockhopper can be on a server for five minutes to one hour so keep that in mind!

Here is some information barely anyone knows there are 45 Rockhopper accounts and they are on at different times of the day. You can never be sure which server Rockhopper can be on. Rockhopper is on random servers during random parts of the day. The best place to start looking for Rockhopper is on servers that are normally very non-populated, if they are full Rockhopper is normally on that server.

Here are some cool facts about Rockhopper that you might want to know. Even if you ignore Rockhopper it still has a smiley face where it normally would have a ignore sign, Rockhopper is everyone’s friend. If you send him a post card he normally sends a few back. If you click home on Rockhopper you will travel back to his ship, the Migrator. I would say it’s a waste of time because you probably won’t get back in the room because by then word will spread around the server and the room will be full.

Though once you have the background I normally leave the room to let other people meet him.
Once you go on a server also see if anyone has the rockhopper backround, if someone does Rockhopper was lately on the server.

Good Luck Finding Rockhopper!

Neįkainuojama šventė

paskolos24 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:07:12 +0000

Vasara – vestuvių sezonas. Teiginiui įrodyti, žinoma, nereikia jokių statistinių duomenų. Įvairių religijų Dievo namai, pokylių salės, gražiausi gamtos lopinėliai – viskas užpildyta vestuviniu klegesiu, džiugiu švytėjimu, besiplaikstančiomis sukniomis ir apkaišyta limuzinais. Žiūrint į tas transporto priemones, papuoštas gėlių kupetaitėmis ir limuzino salonų reklamomis, kartais norisi žvygtelėti – užuot išlaidavę šiam „originaliam“ transportavimosi būdui, verčiau jau „pridurtumėte“ tuos pinigėlius prie pvz. povestuvinės kelionės biudžeto... BET. Visi nori TĄ dieną paversti ypatinga, tobula, išskirtine, na tiesiog „VAU“. Šventės originalumas toli gražu ne paskutinėje vietoje – jaunavedžiai laužo galvas kaip kuo įspūdingesnėmis aplinkybėmis ištarti tą lemtingąjį „TAIP“: lipa į kalnus, neria po vandeniu, skrenda oro balionais, šoka su parašiutais, joja ar rieda riedučiais į bažnyčią... Ir pamokslams apie „protingą“ išlaidavimą vestuvių šventės temoje nėra nei vietos, nei reikalo, tad pirmyn į trumpą idėjų meniu, kad šventė būtų įspūdinga!

Kad jaunavedžiams netektų nervintis dėl kiekvienos smulkmenos ir savo šventės dieną jaustis pervargusiems, į pagalbą planuojant šventę galima pasikviesti vestuvių planuotojus. („Viskas įskaičiuota“ tipo planavimo paslauga – 2500 Lt)
Senovinių vestuvinių papročių momentai ir senosios šeimos tradicijos Liaudies buities muziejuje (kaina 200 Lt + įėjimo bilietai. Pvz. Po vestuvių ceremonijos vietos koplyčioje)
Pasiplaukiojimas po marias (80 žmonių talpinančio laivo nuomos kaina – 400 Lt/ val. plaukimui, 200 Lt/val. nuomojantis stovintį uoste. Pvz.vestuvių puota plaukiojant po marias ir grožintis apylinkėmis.)
Skrydis oro balionu (kaina 1 žmogui – 450 Lt .Pvz. jaunavedžių išvykimas į “Medaus mėnesį” iš šventės)
Pasivažinėjimas po senamiestį velomobiliu (Užsakius iš anksto kaina - 60 Lt/val. Pvz. Jaunavedžių ir vestuvių svitos ekskursija per 7 tiltus - smagumo iki soties, o miškas tikrai padėkos ;)
Taip pat „žalioji“ transporto priemonė – segway (1 val. nuomos kaina – 60 Lt (3val – 200Lt). Pvz. Panaudoti galima tam pačiam tikslui kaip ir velomobilius arba atrakcijoms šventės metu)
Pasijodinėjimas gamtoje (80 Lt/val. Pvz. Po ceremonijos visa vestuvininkų svita raiti keliauja į romantišką iškylą gamtoje. Drąsesni žirgais gali ir į ceremoniją joti, tačiau tam patogiau būtų pasirinkti karietą – nuomos kaina 200Lt/val.)
Retro automobiliai vietoj pabodusių limuzinų (Pvz. Vestuvių svita TĄ dieną rieda Cadillac/Pobeda/Volga/Mercedes ar kt. Nuomos kaina – nuo 100 Lt/val.)

Enjoy the sunny weather today before the rain comes!

Thank you Waaqa for the Golden League!

Oslo, Norway - For the second straight year, the ExxonMobil Bislett Games - ÅF Golden League - played host to a new women’s 5000m World record. This time around, it was Tirunesh Dibaba smashing the record that her compatriot Meseret Defar smashed last year.

This is a very joyous day for me today,” said Dibaba after her stunning 14:11.15 * performance which eclipsed Defar’s performance by more than five-and-a-half seconds. “I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and this is a very special day for me.”

Special indeed. A day after sharing quiet confidence about her first outing of the summer, Dibaba was on a mission which she simply wouldn’t let slip from her grasp.

Nokia 5000: Stingray

O comercial para o Nokia 5000 foi criado pela Wieden + Kennedy de Londres. O spot foi desenvolvido apenas com imagens para mostrar o compartilhamento de fotos e imagens via mms e bluetooth do celular.

A composição das imagens no vídeo criam uma dança, juntamente com algumas poses excêntricas. A trilha sonora foi produzida para refletir o sistema de gravação de rádio e a capacidade de compartilhamento de som utilizando sonoridades eletronicas e típicas de vários lugares do mundo.

A day shared é o slogan usado no comercial que significa um dia compartilhado.

Facebook to remove 5,000 friends limit

Dan — Fri, 09 May 2008 17:55:33 +0000

Most Facebook's nearly 70 million users worldwide will never, ever hit the cap of 5,000 friends that Facebook currently imposes, but for those that do it can be a real pain (no, I'm not one of them).

To help those that are running into the cap Facebook will apparently soon be lifting this limit but no word yet on whether there will just be another, higher cap or if there will be no cap at all.

The reason for the cap in the first place is believed to be because of scaling problems, though that was never officially stated.

5000 Dolara Rüya Dizüstü

kedimi7m — Mon, 05 May 2008 10:45:26 +0000

En yüksek performansı istediğiniz oyunlarda, gücünüzü bir çantada her yere taşımanızın vakti geldi diyorsanız, Alienware'ın m17x ürünü, tam size göre.

Paranın satın alabileceği mesafedeki ürünlerin en büyük sorunu, genellikle o ürün için harcanacak paranın bulunamamasıdır. Amacınız her zaman her yerde yüksek performanslı bir bilgisayar taşımaksa ve bu performans üreticilerin sunduğu esasen orta halli modellerden olmayacaksa, gidebileceğiniz birkaç adres var. Bunlardan bir tanesi de Alienware. Alienware'ın 15 ve 17 inçlik bilgisayarlarında yok yok. Eğer bu ürünler ülkemizde olsa, aşağıdaki dizüstü bilgisayarı 5000 Amerikan Doları'na mal edebilecektik (tabii hangi vergi nereden gelir belli olmaz).

Oyun İçin Gerekli Her Şey!

Aşağıdaki sistem, sadece oyun performansı için gerekli olan bileşenler eklenerek derlendi.

İşlemci: Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 (2,8 GHz, 6 MB önbellek)
Bellek: 2x 2048 MB DDR2 Bellek (667 MHz)
Grafik kartı: 2x Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTX (SLI)
Sabit disk: 2x 250 GB 7200 d/d 8 MB önbellekli (RAID 0)
Optik sürücü: 8x çift katman DVD yazıcı
Ekran: 1920x1200 piksel parlak ekran ve aydınlatmalı klavye

Alienware'da bu bileşenleri yazdığımızda toplam fiyatımız 4998 dolar oluyor. Bazı parçalar sebebiyle de üretmek için bizden 30 gün istiyorlar. Eh, sonuçta alınacak performansı düşünürseniz, fena değil gibi. Eğer siz de kendi canavarınızı yaratmak istiyorsanız, aşağıdaki bağlantıya tıklayabilirsiniz.

:: Sizin rüya bilgisayarınızda neler var?

:: SDN forumlarında kendi taşınabilir bilgisayarınızı yapın, herkesle paylaşın.
