I bought a box of these cigars based on other reviews and the fact that I like Padrons in general. I was very disappointed with the taste, the burn, and the ash. Well made but appearances, in this case, were deceiving. My $300 for the box was a poor investment and one that I will not repeat.

The Padron Aniversario cigar line is among the very best cigars in the world on a consistant basis. They always deliver stick after stick. In a world where often times expensive cigars don't measure up to the high price, this cigar is worth every penny.

I knew these were going to be good, but I was not so sure they would be the best I have smoked. Without letting my son in law know what I was smoking, I properly lit the foot and while it began to give off a little smoke, it drifted toward Kevin and he stated 'that sure smells good, it smells like peach'. I then took a long slow draw producing copious smoke that was pure delight. For the next hour it remained unchanged. I agree with Kevin. There was a noted aroma of peach with a very pure delightfull tobacco aroma. Long finish with no bitterness whatsoever. Construction is excellent, wrapper somewhat delicate. Burn very even until the last third. Draw is perfect and the amount of smoke was very full throughout. I still have some Cuban Cohibas in the humi, and finished a Cuban Romeo recently. The '64 takes a back seat to neither of these two. These will be smoked for special occassions or on a perfect summer evening as last night. I remember a reviewer stating that this should only be accompanied with water to appreciate the taste. I could not disagree more. I had mine with an aged Tawny Port and it complimented the Anniversario perfectly. Looking forward the the rest of them. Yes they are spendy. Save them for those perfect smoking moments. I'm sure you will agree with me, this is one of the all time bests.

This is simply the finest cigar I have ever had. My wife, who previously was puzzled by the cigar habit, smoked almost half of it, and was amazed at the variety of flavors as the burn progressed. Smoked it down to the band, took the band off and smoked some more. You'll be sorry to reach the end of this one.

Easily one of the best cigars I have ever had. Very smooth. Save these for when you have something to celebrate. Fantastic.
