When I started smoking cigars Padrón thousand series maduro and natural made me fall in love with tobacco. Not a brand I go to often today but the 1964 maduro is one of the best cigars I've ever smoked to this date.
Yup
Especially 1964 exclusivo maduro
I love all kinds of cigars. Ive had the pleasure of enjoying a lot of different cigars over many years… I dont worship Padron, but they are top notch. Better than anything else coming out of Nicaragua. There are better value cigar options but the quality and consistency is the best Nicaragua has to offer. One of the best cigars in the world
Padron is the best cigar in the world. Both of you know it😂
One of… overall they are probably the best brand. There are some other greats out there. The god of fire serie b is up there and some other top fuentes, some of Cubas reservas are phenomenal too
Griff is a clown! Padron is the best
I only smoke Nicaraguan cigars and you can give me a Sun grown barrel age Perdomos anytime just full of flavor all of them. Plascencia ,Oliva, Saka or Perdomo so much to offer.
Cuban for lighter flavors and a Liga #9 for that smack in the face. Love it.
I have to state that I’m not too worried about the look of the wrapper. It could have bumps, or look un even. What matters is that it smokes great, tastes great and burns good.
I’ve have padrón, E.P Carrillo, Ashton, aroma de Cuba, San Cristobal, Arturo fuente, CAO, brick house, PDR, PDM, my father, drew estate, davidoff, la joya de Nicaragua, Julius Cesar, and way more other brands and they all have their imperfections.
Some look horrible but smoke amazing and some look beautiful and are expensive and smoke like crap and taste like crap.
It’s not about the looks in half to most cases. The more I try, the more I understand that.
I would love a podcast around the topic: cigars hitting for value. For example: to me a Warped Corto is a $8-9 stick, but smokes like a $14-16. What makes a cigar hit better or worse than its price point? A fun exercise would be send the other person a cigar where you don't know what was paid for the cigar and they have to guess the price point of the cigar. Or even smoke examples of cigars that to you have a better value than their price. This topic is solid for both beginners (bang for buck) and veterans (diamonds in the rough).
Warped is another brand I really love. Isla del Crocodillo, that cigar is like butterscotch pudding, lol. I have recently ordered the Chinchalle to try, so far I'm loving Warped.
@@saucy928 sometimes you can’t tell the difference I’ve had house blends from my local brick & mortar that tasted like $15 cigars
Wow, I don't know if I have ever seen such a reaction to a Padron, lol. the guy in the hat acts like he's put a swisher-sweet or black and mild into his mouth. I guess each to their own, but I know I have smoked far worse cigars for more money. To me, Padron I dont think they are badly priced. I have had actual Cuban cigars, Cohibas, priced far more highly than Padron and can't even touch it. Padron is the first cigar I've smoked that had such a unique and complex flavor that I actually savored it, closed my eyes and just drifted away. I know, I know, the haters are going to hate. I wouldn't smoke it every day, it's too special for that, but it's definitely a celebration cigar. I've had other Nicaraguan's that are the more "defined" (to me they are kind of one trick ponies) that are like Earth and Spice for a quarter, some Cedar for a quarter, some peanut, done. I don't enjoy those as much. They just don't offer anything that I can't get from another cigar. Padron is one of those brands, I light up and I'm like.... oh yeah..... this is what I'd smoke on a beach during a sunset. I just really like that Cuban style cigar. Padron, Tatauaje, San Cristobal, etc.
What you guys missed is the fact that Padron is already aged….so if factory aged for 5 years then u age for another 5 years of course it may lose flavors.
Every padron I had fresh from the cigar shop was amazing I get coffee notes but I always get maduro’s
Cool introduction
Revisiting this. Padron 1926/64s are still worth keeping stocked in my humidor. Are they the best of the best,? No, but their pca labeled options are by far ones you should buy w/o a doubt.
Great show boys
I think a good show idea would be you each pick something up at PCA that the other one has the smoke on the next podcast, but not necessarily from a brand that they like just you think they might enjoy the cigar. And it’s totally blind until you open it up on the podcast.
Great show guys! Happy 4th everyone!
It would be interesting to understand what you mean by complexity, evolution of flavors perhaps? I tried the 64 maduro and it remains centered the whole time on earth and black chocolate notes. A good cigar that doesn't blow me away
Great show - I love the blind bourbon tastings, would be cool to do a blind cigar tasting show and guess things like binder, filler, wrapper, country of origin, brand, etc.
This should be a good one👍
Hope you enjoyed it!
Im the opposite. I dont consider the wrapper much outside of what wrapper it is. Ive smoked quite a few cigars like the 2k with a rustic looking wrapper that were fantastic
Good show - g’s hat was lovely.
Can’t wait to hear what you guys think let me light one up to
Good show, guys. I'm one of those who feel that manufacturers already age cigars and they are ready to be smoked the day that you buy them, so I don't let them sit around for a long time unless it's something that was discontinued and I know that I must save them for that reason. Also, I'm old enough to recall when Padron was not an expensive cigar, or at least not like they are now.
Do some more blind cigar reviews. See if y’all can spot a puro, same blend but different vitola, price range etc.
My complaint of the 1926 40th exactly! I had the turbo, and rustic would have been a gentle description of a very sloppy roll. The cap was so crooked that it almost didn't cover the crown. The bands were both off kilter. The cigar tasted okay. Definitely not super. Not $30 that's for sure. More like a good $10 stick that the roller kind of got lazy with. Now I stick to the thousands series if I smoke Padron at all.
what was the RH in the humidor where you stored your padrons? im running an experiment with storing my cigars at 60-65% RH, and i think maybe they wont get stale too fast.
Just finished a box of Perdomo reserve maduro robusto. 5X54. An amazing cigar for the price.
Something tells me the dude in the hat and glasses is a chronic complainer ….. toxic
I have three words for you guys " Perdomo Perdomo Perdomo"
Perdomo is trash
Padron 2000 is my favorite Padron. Thankfully! I get to save a few bucks. I think it would be cool to see a blind where you have to guess the brand. Maybe grab a handful of robustos from some of the top companies and see who can guess the lable.
Luv this idea 💪🏻💪🏻
THOSE LIL BUMP ARE FROM BEING AGED, APART OF BEING TOOTHY
Ok, 1st. guy with the hat is biased and seems to dislike padron. 2nd he's wrong saying with age the cigar "has nothing left" and with padron that couldn't be further from the truth. my nephew and i have 17-year-old padron 2000s and 6000s with incredible "yellow cello" and they smoke better than most 20-dollar sticks with all the age and they still pack great strength and spice peppery notes. i would love to know what his favorite Nicaraguan cigar is... dudes favorite is prob a perdomo champagne 😅🤣😂🤦♂
Actually both of you are correct. 64’s and 26’s DO NOT age well at all. reviewing an aged Anniversary series only proves they know nothing about the brand. Conversely, the thousand series are absolutely superb when aged.
Everybody remember to do the thumbs up
Good wordsmithmanship
Mash and journey and cigar club cigar, so good
Btuh how you get all that and you only smoked a 10th of the cigar.
ENJOYED THE REVEIW SMOKING BOTH OH YEAH ENJOYED
Saw Arnold smoking a Padron 3000 in his new documentary, ALMOST made me what to try a Padron but still a no for me haha .
a Padron 5000 natural is one of my favorite cigars for the price. I dont understand the hate. Almost everywhere you look people love Padron. But this guy in the video is a hater?
Inexperience with the brand. Reviewing aged anniversary is a fail from jump street...kinda like wearing sunglasses indoors 😂
@@jlo8775 okay jlo
Padron 2000 Maduros are awesome for the price
I guess I wonder, if you know you don't enjoy this brand's cigars, why keep harping on it? Are you trying to convince yourselves to like them more or others to like them less? Are you coming at this as cigar critics more generally? That doesn't seem to be the podcast's overall vibe, so it's confusing. The premise of the question is easy to answer: it's worth it if that's what you want, not worth it if it isn't.
Everyone has their own pallet of taste. I've smoked some of those expensive Padron's and even smoked a few Opus X in my day, but I've smoked cheaper cigars that I thought were better. I like the Opus x better than any of the Padron's I've smoked. I've never smoked a Davidoff, another cigar that's quite expensive.
Smoke an Opus 888. Best Opus blend out there.
@R2sojr09 , the best cigar I've ever smoked was a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2. I bought a box of 25 about 10 years for $250 from a Swiss company. So for $10 a stick, I thought that was pretty good for a cuban cigar that, in my humble opinion, was way better than any opus x or padron. Unfortunately, a box of 25 now is like $600 or so. In the last 2 years, I've been buying cigar leaf online and rolling my own.
This guy just talking out his ass
My only knock on Padron is that the band on the thousands series is a cuban monte ripoff… cheesy in my opinion… but there are much worse offenders when it comes to ripping off cuban classics.
First time watching this pod and it's very annoying that he can't seem to stay in front of the mic so his voice keeps fading out.😅
Насыщенность аромата повышает цену?
Preach it Griff
New world minis great morning smoke
Happy Fourth of July everybody
If I am going to spend that money on a Padron then I’ll spend it on a Atabey or Byron
1926 80th anniversary maduro is the best
I am not the first to say this.. but padron is the most overrated new world cigar in my opinion.. Designed for those who like a 'smooth smoke '.. my father, plasencia, even oliva... blow them out of the water.. i dont think you even get much more out of their higher price point offerings.. for me just boring and tolerable
Padron over rated.
☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻
Wrong
I came here to write wrong.
People who think Padron cigars are overrated are the type of people who eat McDonald’s on the regular. Stop smoking cigarettes and refine your palate. Are used to be like that but overtime you can enjoy great subtle flavors of good thing because the reason why they charge more for better cigars
@Chris-ul2zu I mean there are other brands that offer more at the same price point.
Not for nothing but it’s common knowledge that Padron 1964/1926 do NOT age well.
Yes because they’re already age
How did you get Shaq to do your intro music?
Rookie move using a straight cutter on a torpedo, always V cut
Bullocks to that.
That lunatic is not a great cigar… it’s a novelty joke gift… and a shame a decent company like Aganorsa put it out … Padron would never participate in such foolishness
