"Surprisingly Great!"
I'm lucky to keep a constant stock of Padron 1926's #2, and truly think they're the best cigar money can buy. Sometimes though a cigar with a little more size is in order. Also for me the 26's are potent and best enjoyed after a good meal. So with other cigars in my rotation and knowing that in the end for me it always comes back to a Padron, I went looking for another Padron. I tried the 7000/6000 thinking the better cigar would be more inline with the 1926's, but found I did not enjoy them-something was missing. So I stepped down to the 5000 51/2 by 56 Maudoro and enjoy it quite a bit. Construction good not great, burn and draw very good, and a rich flavor that's just out of this world. It is for me is a mild smoke, so I find myself enjoying these during the day if need be without the big meal. Also a Padron at $6 bucks a stick can't be beat. I really think it's a great cigar for the money. With a 5 pack availabilty at $31 bucks you've got nothing to lose.

"Not what I expected"
I bought a 5 pack of these and I just smoked the first one. After having smoked other padron cigars I was expecting a better cigar. The taste was excellent but the construction was bad. The draw was way to loose. The wrapper looked like it was going to unravel at any second and the ash didn't hold very long. It seemed like the cigar wasn't rolled tight enough. I liked the flavor and all other aspects of cigar but that was kind of forgotten as this cigar basicly smoked itself.

"Padron 5000 Revisited"
I recently purchased a box of Padron 5000 Maduro. I have also purchased several 5 packs of both Natural and Maduro. Famous Smoke Shop has sent me cigars in top condition. For those of you that have not smoked these cigars you are missing a real treat. It is amazing how consistent they are from cigar to cigar. The draw, aroma and taste are exceptional. Over the years I have learned the draw of many cigars is an obstacle for enjoying them. But the Padron 5000 draw allows for the full appreciation of the cigar. It is definitely the real deal.

"A typical, nice Padron"
The Padron 5000 maduro is a typical, excellent Padron. This guy has a 56 ring gauge which may be too big for some smokers (myself included). However, it burns very well and has a nice draw. The flavors are earthy with a bit of spice. The spice is especially noticeable in the final 1/3 of the cigar. Although I prefer the 2000 and 3000 series, this is still a superior cigar that I wouldn't hesitate to smoke.

"padron 5000"
I have smoked 6 of these so far over the last month or so.. the consistency is noticable.. every one smokes exactly the same.. the draw is unbelievable! very nice! in my opinion.. it comes on a but strong and harsh at first but then mellows and i end up smoking it until it burns my fingers wishing it would last a bit longer.. I plan to smoke many more of these.

"High quality in every respect"
I usually smoke Camacho El-Legendario Berthas and CAO Brazillia Amazons. The Padron is every bit the equal and at a nice price < $4 each. I like the aroma and get some earthiness along with coco and coffee. The draw is a little loose, but some humidor time fixes that right up. I smoke these right down to the nub! The 56 ring is great for giving complexity yet not so big as to be cumbersom. This cigar has nice medium flavor but no bitter aftertaste or bite. The 5 1/2 legenth is just right for about 35 - 40 minutes and is consistent start to finish. You can pay more for a premium, but I dont know why you would.

"Best Padron for the Money"
This cigar is the best Padron for the money.
This is a good smooth smoke a little rough or course but very good.
If you can swing it this is a great everyday smoke.
