These couldn't be any better unless they were made in "Cuban Corona" (5 5/8" x 46 ring) size. One of my four humidors is devoted to only Padron Anniversary (Maduro) cigars. Strong, smooth, and complex, Padron anniversary cigars are quite simply, the best on the planet. I've smoked many Cubans, and some of them were quite good (some weren't!) but not one of them could possibly replace these amazing smokes as the cigar that I go to when I want something truly spectacular. Hard to find, and rather pricey when you do, these smokes are worth twice the price. Smoke a Blue or Black label Graycliff first (much more expensive) then one of these, and you'll NEVER look back. Kudos to FSS for having the best box price I've ever seen!
