I am not really a man of many words, and find it quite a challenge to post these reviews, so this is a short review with I hope, some good pics to view.
I decided to smoke these cigars back to back to compare and check out just how different the Maddie to Natural is.
Construction on these cigars was almost flawless with a small patch on the Maddie which was a bit disheartening,although the quality of the patch was very high.
The caps were very difficult to remove in one piece, and were well stuck on, but yielded under a bit of gentle persuasion.
I paired these cigars up with a mix of beers washed down with the remains of a 30 year old Tawney port.
The beers were: Chimay Blue, Hobgoblin and an Aussie made Barley wine.
Prelight aroma was mild and hardly smelt of tobacco at all.
The Maduro draw was extremely easy with heaps of thick almost sweet smoke.
The Natural draw was easy but nowhere near as easy as the Maddie. Smoke was thick, rich,smooth and luxurious.
Ash on the Maddie was loose and flaky,while the Natural was well packed and nicely greyed.
Maduro:
Natural:
I found these cigars to be flavorful but not overly strong. Both had even burn with no bitterness at all.
Both cigars smoked really well and were a pleasure to smoke and taste.
The Maduro was a pleasure to smoke but I feel the Natural was more suited to my taste.
Truly two Premium cigars
It would be interesting to smoke a fresh batch to see if there is any difference in cigars that have a bit of Humi time to them.
Although they are both Premium smokes and excellent in their own rite. I feel for my taste there are nicer Padrons to be smoked.
This in no way means I did not enjoy them.
I think one of the reasons I enjoy smoking the Padron range is that I can smoke 2 or 3 back to back and not get the nicotine overdose so prevalent with other cigars.
Well Andrew that is it mate, they are all gone.... I enjoyed each and everyone. They all had their own distinct flavors, quality's and were all a pleasure to smoke.
Thank You.
