I had a few Padrons while playing cards at a casino in WA over winter, and I must say I loved this cigar. And for the price it was unbelievable! I only had a couple of the 3000 naturals I was wondering how you guys like the maduros as opposed to the naturals. I have one 1964 maduro torpedo, just waiting for the right occasion to try it out, but the regular line is great in my opinion and much better price wise. Any thoughts on the regular line natural vs. maduro?

I haven't tried a natural...yet[ram27bat] but I smoked a maduro yesterday and it was an absolutely phenomenal smoke!

Used to buy the 2000 maduros, like them a lot.

Pricing is decent too.

In the regular Padron line I actually prefer the naturals over the maduros. The naturals are very good, the maddie's are o.k..... In the Anniversary lines, the maduro is most superb.

i think it's the only cigar brand line that I like the natural more than the maduro. includes ani's.

I appreciate the replies gentlemen, I have yet to try the 1964 in natural or maduro, but I have a maduro waiting so we'll see how that turns out(I'm definitely looking forward to it). But as far as the regular maduro goes, I'm not sure if its worth trying based off what I've heard so far, I do know the naturals are amazing in my book.

All Padrons are good to me.

For the scratch the _ooo series is hard to beat compared to the annies. Anniversary series are all great but the prices are NOT!

The regular like my favorites are the Delicias Maduro.

And I like all better in maduro.

For what the x000 series go for, you can try many vitolas in both wrappers without breaking the bank.

I'm not a real fan of maduro's...........connetictut broadleaf is almost flavorless to me.The sun grown Nicaraguan maddie wrapper used on the regular line is not going to win any beauty contest but it is my favorite maduro wrapper.The Thousand series is also exceptionally good in the SG maddie wrapper.I love the maddie churchill(6.5X46 IIRC),that little Delicias and the 2000........however they're are not worth a crap OTT.Buy em and bury em.......12-18 months does them wonders.

As for the Anni line.....IMO both the 64 and 26 are awesome smokes but again only in the maddie wrapper.The naturals are just OK.....they just do not have the depth of flavor the maddie has.

As far as complexity goes..........you're barking up the wrong tree if this is what you're after.ALL Padrons are very one dimensional IMHO.....it is however an excellent dimension.Strength may increase during your smoke and the body may build but the flavor and finish generally remain the same from beginning to end.

For the $$$$ I'll keep burying the regular line and the Thousand series

Love every Padron maddie I have ever tried. The quality is the most consistent of any cigar line I have ever smoked.
