CAO Anniv, Padron Anniv, Perdomo2, and Cuban Parejo

My absolute favorite maduro is the Leon Jimenes Maduro. I especially like the Toro. Brazilian wrapper, rich taste, smooth even burn. I haven't found a maduro I like better. Check it out!

I didn't care for maduros until I smoked a Partagas maduro. I had tried Onyx, Mayorga and Don Diego earlier and didn't care for them. Now I've got a whole selection on the way, including an AVO, which I've never tried, and Padron, which I never tried in maduro. Thanks to this thread, I've got a fair idea of what to look for.

Though I'd go back to the aelriest post ot wrap up , IMHO, my recommendation. Best: Padron, Partagas, Ashton, AVO, in that order. Good: Macanudo and Arturo Fuente Worst: Onyx, Mayorga and Don Diego

A great all around maduro is the La Rosa Especial, my everyday smoke. If you want to go cheaper, you can't beat the Diesel. If you want to spend some money, the very best maduro I've ever had is the Leon Jimenes. This is a truly great cigar.

Okay, okay I had a brain fart. I didn't realize I had already put my two cents in on this thread. Sorry.

Just had the Padron maduro 2000 and so far that was my favorite. The La aurora was good also. Thx all for the suggestions

arbn2/505, try the 4000 maduro, it blows the 2000 away.
got to be my favorite smoke for the money, hands down...

Will wait till the weekend to try the 4000 jazz. I am not sure if it is considered a maduro or not but I just tried the Partagas Black, and I was not impressed. 3 times I had to relight it, and the only time it tasted like a real gar was half-way thru. While I am still a novice, I would not recommend it to my buddies, or even to all youse.

After smoking two Black Label pyramids over the past month, I've added these to my weekend smokes. It's a beautiful, big ring smoke with a great ash. I really like the Partagas line and this is one of their best. It really doesn't compare to a Partagas maduro, which I find sweeter. (I prefer the Padron maduro, which is not as sweet.) The Black Label has a full, up front flavor you can get your thoughts around. I agree it's packe well and might be hard to keep lit. Each one I tried had a nice, red cone when I knocked the ash off. My only complaint is that they are too strong to smoke well on a re-light.
