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.

Padron Panetela
"Not a 5000, but encellent in own class"
I am a big fan of 5000 maduros. Padron makes awesome smokes. The first Padron panetela that I had was disappointing. I wanted the same experiance as I had with the 5000. After I got rid of that incorect assumtion, I began to appreciate this great smoke as a panetela. The box press makes this a very unique panetela. It admittabily makes it a bit tight on the draw but if you take your time this slim delight you will be rewarded. The trick is slow down, ENJOY!

Padron 3000 5/4
"Great cigar for a fair price"
This cigar and its maduro counterpart are just great cigars.
The fact that there is no penalty for buying smaller quantities, such as with these 4-packs, is testament to the fact that Padron cigars are no-baloney good deals.
My only complaints about this cigar don't have anything to do with the burn, consistency, flavor, etc, all of which are outstanding. However, I should mention that I find they arrive on the dry-side; and the cap on this square-ended stick is hard to cut with a guillotine without cutting the whole cap off.
Solutions: Remove the cellophane and leaving them in a humidor for a few days if you want to smoke one right away. The cap covers a downturned twist of the wrapper, be sure to remove the little plug when cutting. It should just lift off with the rest of the cap in most cases.
Too bad there aren't many other producers offering this simple deal, but Padron is so good that I don't care.

Padron 5000
"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.

"Smokes"
I too have smoked these cigars and they did not please me at all. I have smoked better cigars for a cheaper price.

Padron 5000
"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.
