"Padron 64 A cigars"

Basically 5 out of 5 cigars.......Padron is the best of the best., in terms of quality, consistency, virtually every category. In 20 years I have NEVER had a plugged, harsh, tunneled , or any kind of issues. These don t need to sit or sleep in your humidor for several months ......they are 100% ready when you open the box. Negative review here is BS .........Padron s are the most counterfited cigars in the world, especially the 64 s and special lines.......most likely that is what he had.......ready rest of Padron reviews........nobody ever rated these cigars so low, so maybe be has an issue to resolve.

"Mildly flavored to perfection"

I personally enjoyed this cigar. The burn was razor sharp and the draw was perfect. I was especially surprised at that since it is such a long smoke. There are a variety of flavors within the cigar. You can't really taste all of it at once and each puff will bring you a brand new taste from time to time. What stood out was the pepper. It is also earthy, leathery, and sweet in some parts. I enjoyed how smooth the smoke was and how creamy the cigar was. Not worth the price to me though, I'd probably grab a nice Opus X over one of these. Still a very good smoke if you like something milder with a lot of flavors!

"Get a 1926 80 or Family Reserve 45 instead"

I recently picked up 1 of these and also a Series A maduro. Both were absolute rubbish. Terrible construction and quality control issues such as a large rip in the wrapper that was partially 'patched' by the roller. Worst of all both cigars were disgustingly bitter. Tasted like they had spent a week or two in the trunk of a car in a Las Vegas parking lot in July. Trust the low rating and avoid. Try the 1926 80 or the Family Reserve 45 which are similar in price and both incredible sticks.
