Padrom 1926 #6 Review

[LC-Smoker]

OK, so here it is, my first formal review.....


One of our local shops here in C'ville have these guys on special this week; needless to say, they went fast.

I smoke this maduro last night at our favorite cigar location here in town.

What initially struck me was how firm this box-pressed cigar was. The prelight draw was fabulous. The flavor set in on the first draw and the first part of the smoke was creamy and a bit sweet with possibly some chocolate tones. The burn was wonderful as it required no corrections. The ash was firm and grey and the smoke very thick.

The sweet flavors gave way to a different flavor near the middle of the smoke (I am sorry I can't put my finger on what it was; still new at this). The final third gave rise to hints of wood.

The cigar performed tremdously well. I smoked it down to the nub and it never became hot on the lips.

It was my first '26 nd I am definately hooked.

I look forward to hearing what other have to say.....

Padrón 1926 Serie cigars are simply exceptional, IMHO -- the No.9 is my favorite size as well. Fabulous cigars. Nice review; you nailed the sweet/chocolatey flavor well. I also get a sort of nutty flavor too -- the finish on these cigars is a gradual but exquisite experience.

thanks for the review.
I think that in falling in love with the 1926's you're in understanding company here!

hard for me to pick a favorite out of the 5 vitolas (haven't had a 40th anni. yet), but I'd probably go with a No. 1 or No. 9 just because they last longer or pack more of a punch, respectively.

I just hate these cigars. Send me all the Anni's you want...you'll never convince me :whistling:

Nice review Patrick. :thumbs: I smoked a '64 Exclusivo maduro that same night (hadn't had one in awhile) and forgot how tasty and smooth they are. :love: Patrick and I went back the next night and I tried my first '26 #6 natural. Absolutely fantastic smoke! I can't decide whether I like the '64 or '26 better - they are both great sticks. :thumbs: After several '64s and only one '26 I am leaning toward the '64 Exclusivo but that may change after smoking one of the '26 maduros waiting for their chance. You just can't go wrong with either of these lines IMO...

Popped my Padrón 1926 Serie cherry last month. :love:

What amazing cigars flavorful, smooth, wonderful. This is as close to a perfect cigar as I would want it to be. I smoked the #6 Maduro, I have one left along with two #2 Naturals and one #6 Natural.
