Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Principe Maduro Cigar - Box of 25

I can see why this cigar got 94 score in Cigar Aficionado 2023. Absolutely fantastic cigar. Basically a smaller box pressed Robusto with quite a dark wrapper. The taste is a little peppery at the start but after an inch or so it develops into a beautiful intense favour of dark chocolate expresso. The taste lingers on the pallet for a long time compared to most cigars, this gives a good amount of time to saviour and enjoy the flavours. For a smaller cigar it puts out a lot of creamy smoke. Easy draw and fantastic construction. I am glad I bought 3 of these!

I had a very disappointing experience with this. It tasted salty all the way to the end. A friend raves about the cigar. But mine was a waste of money

Im afraid to say that this was a disappointment. As a big fan of the Padron 2000 and maduros in general so my expectations were high at this price point, its a smaller cigar than the 2000 too. It was slightly bitter, more spicy, a hint of sweetness, which was nice, but I only detected that a couple of times. I smoked it to the end and it lasted about half an hour. The draw and build quality were of a high standard but there are bigger and better maduros out there that are cheaper, including the 2000 maduro, in my opinion.

The smoother range of Padron offering you a smooth experience with tobaccos aged for 4 years without loosing the amazing aged Padron character. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador

Beautiful cigar. Quite strong hit of nicotine at the end, which surprised me but enjoyable. Definitely more for a celebration than a daily or weekly smoke. Will be getting another two for the humidor.
