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

You will love the Maduro. I just about done with a box of 2000 maduro's.

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.

Padron number series are all great 'gars, especially on maduro. Just my 02.

OH--I forgot to mention that I smoked that 3000 to the nub, and it tasted great all the way down!

I agree a very good cigar. I have a box of 4000 Maddys aging for later use. X

Can I change my name to "Mr. later"?

Damned fine cigar.

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.

Is the entire Padron line puros? All of the filler, binder, and wrapper is from Nicaragua I think---anybody know?

Adam

Barry,what I do to keep from pilfering the box is win 5packs when the price is right. Bud,you can change your name.....but it ain't gonna do ya any good,LOL. X

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!

Charlie

Yes laxman, all puros.

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!


Adam

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.

John

2000, 3000, 4000, 5000....any Paddy maddy will do!
