Padron Serie 1926 #9 Maduro

Date: 1/23/09

Cigar: Padron Serie 1926 #9 Maduro (5.25 x 56)

Cost: $17.95

Drink: Coca-Cola (the best cola)

Appearance: This has a maduro wrapper on it. There wrapper was very dark and elegant. This is a double banded cigar. The serial number on the second band says "No. 755922". The appearance gets a 10/10

Taste of the cigar: This cigar tastes like chocolate and black cherry. The flavor is awesome and it reminds me of a candy bar.

Construction: Held a long ash. There were no major veins showing. The draw was a little on the free side. The cigar required some touchups during the first 1/4". The rest of the cigar burned perfectly.

Summary: This cigar was absolutely delicious. I would love to buy these on a more reguar basis, but the price is pretty steep. I think these are best for special occasions (like when the Cincinnati Reds win the World Series this year). I give it a 10/10.

Awesome review. I too would smoke these more often if they were less expensive. But then they wouldn't be so tasty. I agree with the loose draw on the #9. Go with the #2 next time. That one is def my favorite besides the 80th.

Very nice review! I love the 26 line. Picked up a box of #6 maduro last winter. The # 35 is a staple in my cooler as well. The #9's I have had were on the loose side but all delicious. I have a random #9 maduro single with about 3 years on it. Can't wait to fire that one up!

I would have to say ditto to that.

I bought a box several years ago, and the first three I smoked were less then stellar. Thankfully, the others I smoked were "on" and were rich in flavor and depth. Outstanding smoke when they are on AND with a few years on them.
