Padron 3000/Maduro

[wrz0170]

Maduro
5.5" x 52
Nicaraguan puro (I believe)

So the future Mrs. went out for awhile and left me home to my own devices. I decided to give this smoke a try after reading a review of one BOTL experience at his new house.

I also have one of those Padron ashtrays and I thought it a shame that I have this beautiful ashtray with the name sake, but never even tried one of their cigars yet! How foolish would I feel if someone were to ask if I had a Padron after looking at the ashtray :blush: .

I picked up this cigar at a B&M to give it a try. Interestingly, I could not get a pre-light aroma. The construction overall was pretty good. The cut was clean with no unravelling and the pre light draw told me it was going to be a nice smoke.

I lit it up and got a nice even burn right down to the nub. The smoke was abundant and pleasant. The taste was little on the creamy side and I really enjoyed it. The BOTL was right. You didn't want it to end.

I understand that this one tastes even better when aged a year or two. I will be getting more just for that purpose and the price seems to be right.

I hope the other Padrons out there are in line with this experience if not better!

Thanks for the review. These are definitely one of my favorite everyday smokes :thumbs:

I've never tried any of the regular Padron line. I've only had a few 26's and 64's. For some reason the local B&M doesn't carry Padron , so I've had to order the ones that I have had. I gotta find some of the regular line!

Check the specials section. Someone had a box of 2000 maddies I think for $65 :0

Just dragging this back up. These have recently been my goto smoke. They are incredible with a glass of amaretto. Creamy and copious amounts of smoke.
