Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro

[Martin3203]

First time smoking one and WOW! What a great smoke! Definitely going to have to get a few more of these. Being accompanied by Blue Point Winter Ale, which is also a first for me and very tasty.

I just had my first one the other day. It is a damn good smoke. I wasn't a huge Padron fan at first but they seem to be growing on me fast.

 

[Martin3203]

Lol I was the same way

They are one of my favorites. What size did you try?

 

[Martin3203]

Robusto

You can't go wrong with a Padron.

 

[Jfire]

Try the principe size. It's like crack.

Almost everyone I know who tries these for the first time has the same reaction. It really is a great cigar. Remarkable consistency..

 

[Martin3203]

Great flavors, not to complex.

I love the anni too. It stinks that they are a little spendy though.

you are correct sir

One of ny all time favorites. The 1926 is also amazing!!!
Can't go wrong with a PAM. Never tried the natural because I always go for the maddy.

 

[zirotti]

Love the Nattys too.

Welcone to the real quality cigars. They are complex just leave them in a humidor for 6 months and see, take my words on this

never was a big padron fan until visiting their fields and factory. now every time i light a nat i can relive that aroma!

How are they in the power/body department? I have one sitting in the humidor but beeing a novice smoker, I'm kinda afraid to approach it.

Depends on the size. The smaller they are, the more peppery and fuller in body. The Principe is a little peppery chocolate bomb! The bigger sizes are still medium+ to medium-full, but less peppery and a bit smoother as well.

Smoke it on a FULL stomach just in case, and don't smoke it too fast (probably the most common mistake for novices). You should be fine!

The maddies are certainly amazing--among the best maduros on the planet for sure. But the Naturals get way too little attention, imvho. They're great! To me they are smoother and have more "Padron" flavor. Think cocoa instead of chocolate.

Padron '26 & '64, Fuente Opus & Anejo, All Tatuaje, All Viaje > Everything else are Rover Rockets. Did I miss anything worthwhile?

have to agree with those who voiced that the natural wrapper is good as well. My first box purchase was a box of each in the princpe size. Still my go to smoke
