My First Padron

**EdwardTheTwinky** · 03-03-2010, 09:06 AM

Hey all,

After all the talk I heard about Padron, ChaseMe and I went and got ourselves 2 sticks of Padron 3000. At first, it was weird and strangely bitter and tasted like wood, I realized what had happened was that when ChaseMe and I had lit our sticks we lit too harshly and so the cedar sticks left an impression. A trick I was taught when first learning about cigars is to blow out a little bit and it should help lessen the harshness of any burns. It helped DRAMATICALLY. I felt the cigar was a bit tainted in flavor due to the burning incident, but it was very pleasant the rest of the way, smoked it practically till I couldn't smoke it any further.

Flavor notes I noticed were hints of nuttiness. Great medium bodied, I would almost categorize it in full, but medium is where I would officially place it. Great draw, smooth, just enough resistance. Will have to try the 7000 for sure along with the anniversary one.

Touché; it was a great smoke. Great construction too!

Guys, wait until you try the 1964! Hands down the best cigar I've ever had! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

This is absolutely correct -- with two exceptions: I like the 45th anniversary the best of all, followed by the 80th anniversary. I have not had any of the other anniversary cigars.

I have also had several of the 1926's, and they are also very good, but for my money the 1964's are the go-to cigars.
