"If I had to pick one cigar...."
If I had to pick one cigar to smoke, the 3000 maduro would be at the very top of my list. They are super every time. Well constructed, great burn, fantastic taste, and pleasant aroma all the way to the label. I also like the natural wrapper, but the maduro is tops for me.

"Outstanding smoke for the money"
There are many excellent cigars on the market in that $4-$5 range, but the Padron is, in my opinion the most flavorful, well constructed stick in their class.
Everybody has different tastes, but I swear, if you don't like this baby, you're hard to please.

"Best affordable non CC"
If you can't afford to smoke Cubans everyday (like me) then smoke these. You will be very satisfied

"Reward for Rescue"
I started a round with a Montecristo Cig des Arts Beli that I liked very much, while my buddy lit up a Padron 3000 Maduro. Before he lit it I commented on what a handsome stick it was - looks like it definitely means business. I was also a big fan of the shape - a slightly longer robusto that can work for golf or any occasion. I ended up finishing it for him on the back 9, as he had long since given up on it only about third of the way down. After the mild Monty, this was a delicious and much fuller flavored treat. I was puffing away until no lighter in the world was going to help me get any more out of it. Spicy, full, not at all bitter, and with a unique taste that I happened to be crazy over. I recommend this to any maduro fan and those who like a fuller-than-medium smoke.

"Great Smooth & Consistant Flavor with an easy draw"
My first Padron Maduro. I got Rich, Smooth and consistent flavor.
Easy draw. Although the ash was a bit loose, the cigar burned evenly and slowly. This was one I smoked all the way to the ring, without a hint of bitterness till right at the end.

"Nasty..."
Nice clean draw, Aromatic, burns well but...it's got one nasty taste. Very disappointed!

"A Nice Smoke"
Very enjoyable smoke. Full but not strong. Hard to lay this baby down. Smoked great all the way to the label. A real beaut.

"The Backbone of a Wonderful Product Line"
The Padron 3000 has always been what I consider to be ONE of the best bangs for the buck. For the price of a box I find it virtually impossible to find a finer $4- cigar (Andros being as equal a find for that money). Rich, full texture, heavy coffee & chocolate embodyments, billowing clouds of smoke and a nice "edgey" flavor... Padron 3000 is my ideal smoke, always finding regular rotation in my humidor.
