"Padron 1926 #1 Maduro"

Fantastic smoke, tastes of dark chocolate, coco, smooth smoke, just love the Padron cigars all of them.

"Not For The Novice"

These are exceptional in ways only an aficionado could appreciate. I mean that seriously. If you are in any way new to cigars, this is not something you should be spending your money on. Flavor 5/5 The burn 5/5 The draw 5/5 They have an earthen flavor. You can taste every part of the aging warehouse they were aged in. The hay, the pepper, the chalky notes of the aged tobacco, the earthen notes of the field, its all there from the first pull. The draw is exceptional. Its almost like you are simply breathing. The burn as even as a plumb line. You don t even need to check it, but you do anyways because youre marveling at its perfection. If youve never had a premium quality cigar, as in TRULY premium, I don t think you could fully appreciate this. Novices should accustom themselves to what a mid-grade cigar tastes like before moving on to this masterpiece; otherwise the experience will be lost on them.

"great stick"

One of my top five

"One of the alltime greats!"

Amazing cigar! Always consistent with a great draw and deep, palate sticking flavors. Padrons are truly the best.

"Perfect!"

Every Padron I smoked, from the thousands series to the special anniversary editions have been great. The construction in all those cigars is perfect and the draw is always, I really mean always, perfect. The burn is always even, you can relax and take your time with a draw every two, three, even five minutes and it won t go off. The flavors, especially after the first inch are a crescendo of complexity, moreishness and balance. Take your time, retrohale and experience the notes from the more obvious to the more subtle. For me the 1926 No. 1 and No. 6 are the best of the series and among the best that Padron makes and that is a tall order given how great all of their line-up is. This is the kind of cigar that I keep thinking about long after I finished smoking it. Also try both the Maduro and Natural: both are great in their own ways and deliver flavors in spades. This is as good as it gets and I will take one over any Cuban or any FFOX.

"Worst Part About These...."

It's hard to smoke anything less!! You can keep your cubans, give me a Padron any day, if you haven't had one, then you wouldn't understand. Just perfect. Happy Smoking!!

"Under Rated"

Absolutely blows away any Cuban I've smoked! Should definitely be rated at least 96 !!!!

"one word... WOW!!!"

What bad can be said about this masterpiece!? Beautiful in appearance, draws great and tastes superb! A pricy cigar yes, but worth the indulgence! Enjoy with a nice single malt scotch and create some memories with Padron!

"Haven't been let down yet"

I got a 1926 #1 in a sampler, and i wasn't let down. Padron became the only cigar I care to smoke, they just don't get any better.

"The best cigar you'll ever smoke"

Agreed. This cigar is 10x better than any cuban you can find. The absolute pinnacle of cigar smoking. The best cigar you will ever smoke is right here. Spend the money, and smoke this sucker. You won't regret it.
