Padron 4000 5 Pack
"Better than advertised"
I smoked one three days after I bought the five pack, thinking, "Well, it's not an anniversary blend, but let's give her a go". Wow. Wow.
Wow! Make no mistake. This is not a 1926, nor a 1964. It is a primo all its own. It really is a Maduro, so if you don't like a bit of a fuller taste, try the Natural instead. Otherwise, even after just three days in my humidor, I clearly tasted the cocoa and expresso, and it was almost perfection, ALL THE WAY THROUGH. Excellent draw, excellent smoke, excellent burn.
The last four of the pack were a little better due to time spent in the humidor, but seriously, this cigar should cost far more than $6.40. Especially considering it stacks up easily against any $13-$25 cigar I've smoked.

Padron 2000
"Another "perfect 10" Padron"
What a great cigar. No need to do a detailed review of this one. Doesn't get any better than this. Full, lots of smoke, creamy: a real treat.

"A perfect 10 !"
It's not very often that a perfect cigar comes along.
A wonderful 80 minute smoke with a single malt Islay scotch. I didn't want this smoke to end.
Long white ash, totally even burn the whole way, lots of smoke-more than 20 smoke rings, wonderful flavor and aroma, great and easy draw, real nice appearance and construction. WOW !

Padron Magnum 5 Pack
"Big, Fantastic, Flavorful Cigar"
This is a seriously large cigar. Just think about it. If you cut it in half, you would have two full-sized Rothschilds. It is rich, strong and complex in flavor. Smoke it slowly and evenly and be well rewarded with 90 minutes or more of flavors varying throughout the cigar. The second half has collects some nicotine from the first half and can result in a rather heady cigar. This cigar also ages well, smoothing out over a year or so, if you like to have flavor without quite so much strength. Buy a fiver to try it. If you like it, buy a box and take your time smoking them.

"A really good cigar... It's a "Padron""
No long write up here... you'll like these or you won't ! If you don't, then maybe have the.... "taste bud's" checked.

Padron Magnum
"Rich, full, big smoke."
The construction has been consistent. The descriptions of a hint of coffee and cocoa are accurate. The pre-light aroma is wonderful. And when you light up, there is a ton of smoke. It is strong, but still pretty smooth.
Just make sure you set aside some serious time! (Or cut it in two and smoke your first of two Rothschilds!)

Padron 6000
"OK cigar, can find better ones for this price"
I normally smoke Cubans (PSD4s, Cohiba Siglo II and IVs, Cohiba Genios among my favorite), nevertheless I wanted to try an alternative and decided to buy two "premium Nicaraguans". I recently got a box of Padron 6000 Torpedos and a box of Oliva serie V ligero figurados. Between these two I would strongly recomend the Oliva. The Padron 6000 T where OK, but just that... OK... If you want to try Nicaraguans in this price range, I recomend go for the Oliva serie V.

Padron Ambassador 5 Pack
"Fuller than I expected"
Hmmm...was expecting a laid-back, mild-med smoke but ended up being at the other end of the spectrum. Not that that's bad, just not what I was expecting based on the things I had read. Haphazard cap, which didn't affect the smoke, lovely oily wrapper, which I dug, and an even slow burn. Starts off peppery and the under current remains throughout the stick, though it mellows as the burn progresses. Had my first one on an empty stomach, and it caught me off guard. Easily a 45-60 min smoke, though you wouldn't expect it from it's size. Enjoyable under the right circumstances, with great smoke production...just don't expect it to be on the mild side.

Padron 2000
"Consistent Quality"
I like variety so I smoke a lot of different cigars. I am always in search of the perfect cigar. Unfortunately, often times I am dissapointed by poor construction, tough draw, and bitter taste even on expensive cigars. Whenever I take a Padron out to smoke, I know it will be the same perfect quality almost every time. Smooth, easy draw. Great complexities of flavor. I smoke them down to the nub every time. I got the last box signed by all of the Padrons (and there are a lot of them) at an event. I told them they have the best cigars on the market and it is true. You can't go wrong with a Padron!

Padron Executive
"cigar lover"
I travel to Nicaragua often on business and I'm fortunate enough to bring back a box or two of Padrons every time I go. This time around I brought back both a box of Executive Maduro and Natural. These cigars arent for the faint of heart and will last roughly an hour if smoked consistenly. If you set them down for an extended period of time they will of course go out lke any other cigar. Light them back up and it is as though it never went out. My favourite aspect of this long smoke isnt just the lovely consistency of the draw nor is it the beatiful smell of the tobacco. Its not even the perfect burn. Above all else, I love that this cigar will taste distinctly different at several different stages throughout its life, all tastes which are, by the way, wounderful. I used to be a Cuba cigar snob before I travelled to Nicaragua and discovered Padron. There is no doubt that Cuba has some incredible cigars, but overall for me Padron is the standard and thats before you even begin to factor in the incredible price of these cigars.
