Just wanted to give my .02 on a cigar I had last night while watching the Niners game. I had my first normal Padron (I've had a PAM), the 3000 5.5 x 52. It was great!! I had it in my humidor for probably about 4 months, kind of forgot about it honestly. But I was flipping through the new issue of CA and saw that it was rated a 91, so it triggered my memory. I got it out last night, used the punch from my Colibri lighter, and lit it up the way SteveS described in a thread a few days ago. Man, did that thing burn straight and true! It was also real darn tasty. Great smoke. Now I want to try the maduro

I love the Padron 'number' series. The 5000 is my fave, but you can't go wrong. Though yummy straight out of the box/bag, a good few months in the humidor and those boys are always perfect. Along with the Churchill, this series can't be beat for quality and price.

The maduro is a nice twist on the same earthy and nutty flavor. I agree, you'll like them.

Love the numbered series and all time fav everyday-type Padron, the Churchill Maduro. I'm usually not a fan of maduros, but these babies are awesome.

Padron is my every-day go-to. A super premium cigar at an every-day cigar price. Lay in a few more and let them rest in your humi ... you'll be pleased.

I'm jealous X, there's no way I can age a Padron except to buy 3 or 4 boxes and then the last one is at least a couple of months old.

I've almost always got a few 2000's nat. and madruo, 2 or 3 boxes of Delicias (my daily smoke), and a mixture of all the others.

The Padron line, which I try to get under $3 each, gets good faster than any other mid-price brand I've tried. Maduro 2000 and 4000. Natural 3000. They just keep getting better.

The 3000 was what I consider my first good cigar after trying many, many dog rockets. Always have a box on hand.

Don't age them too long. They loose alot of the 'Umph' after 6 months.

This is one is best stored 'cello on'.

The Padron line of numbered cigars are all great! The maduros are particularily wonderful!

I have a couple of 3000's that are about two years old and they are screaming, "Smoke me"! OK I will smoke one today and one this weekend while listening to one of the playoff games in my backyard!

^^^ TOP

Sorry--I had to top this one that I wrote about a month ago, however, I have to share my experience with another Padron 3000.

Man are those things good. The ash was two inches long--white with little grey specks, and solid as can be. I gotta get some more humidor space and buy a box--wow I'm so impressed with them.

I've heard these don't age very well, that after a while they lose some of the flavor? Any opinions? Oh, and should I store them cello on or off? Haha just kidding--that has been talked about ad infinitum.

Have a good night everyone, I look forward to hearing your responses!

wait, a cigar that doesn't "age well"? Did you write that? Are there any credible examples of this? anyone? Padron doesn’t make a bad cigar and the 3K is NO exception. I bought a box in maduro. I may have half left. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

I likes em!!!

Great Taste... Less Filling! No... wait that's something else.

Hard to go wrong with any of the Padrons... smooth and consistent.

Padron has the best overall line of smokes, and they're reasonably priced. How can you beat that???

The 5000 and 5000 maduro are favorite smokes of mine. I'm going to get a box of 3000s to try. CA magazine had some very nice things to say about the 3000 in this month's issue. They rated it a 91 topping out the corona gordas category. The Anniversary series topped out the figurado series, too.
