Padron Millennium Natural

[Mark Twain]

This is a cigar that I have hunted for a long time and I am grateful to Jonas for the opportunity to try one. The Millennium’s reputation precedes it and gives the smoker a feeling of anticipation that is remarkable for its anxiety and expectation. I witnessed at least three maduro Millenniums go up in flames at the Padron event at the Outlaw cigar herf in Kansas City and this made me want to smoke one even more.

The cigar was magnificently presented with a rich pre-lit aroma of nicely aged tobacco. The bunch was firm and after I scored and lifted the cap I found the draw to be prefect.

The cigar burned evenly from beginning to end revealing a deep white ash that was slightly weak compared with other Padron cigars.

The flavors coming out of the cigar were a class unto themselves. I’ve smoked cigars with some outstanding flavor characteristics, but I’ve never smoked a cigar that was so rich and creamy as the Millennium. There was a smoothness to the smoke that gave the overall experience a quality of excellence that I have yet to match and this rich quality of smoke highlighted an amazing experience. This cigar was the most balanced one that I’ve ever smoked. The Millennium’s construction is a remarkable achievement. This was a memorable cigar. Every serious smoker should try one.

Well done Marc. I've just come across two of these, a maddie and a natural, thanks to a wonderful BOTL here on CP.

Your review makes me want to torch them that much more quickly! :thumbs:

Why wait?! I concur with Marc's review. This is, by far, one of the best cigars I ever had the pleasure of smoking. Unfortunately, they don't grow on trees.

That's right, why wait. You could cross the street tomorrow and get run over by a bus. Then some scurvey dog will smoke it for you. Live in the here and now, I tell ya.

So when you noticed Tony curled up in the corner in his own little zone; Now you know where he (as well as Loren and I) was.. This stick is definetly in my top five of ANYTHING I have ever smoked.


Glad you got to enjoy it Marc..

Awesome review Marc.
I am beginning to want one of these more and more. I was thinking last year that the Davidoff/Dunhills were my holy grail. Now I want one of these after reading the two reviews by both you and Mike.

Mmmm... nice one! as always

I've had 2 and they are good, damn good but I still have to give the nod to the maduro version. I probably won't have a chance at a third but did enjoy the ones I had.

I only have one Millenium maduro and this thread has convinced me to live for the here and now. This baby is going up in smoke tonight. Thanks for the review! :thumbs:

 

[LilBastage]

Great review.

I can't wait to try one of these. I hope that when that day does eventually come to pass, I'm able to take advantage and truly enjoy it.

 

[Azoetia]

Thanks for another excellent review. I have only smoked the maduros and always wondered about how the naturals smoked. I assumed they would be great and your review strongly confirms my suspicions.

 

[Infinity]

Top notch review Marc. Your description, pics and superlatives makes me feel as though I am smoking the stick. I have smoked several now and you are spot on.

Wow.

Great review Marc, it certainly put this cigar on my radar.

How did the profile compare to the '26 naturals?

Always a pleasure to read one of your reviews!
