Are the best cigars in the world necessarily made in Cuba? Maybe not. Check out my review of the Padron brand which is arguably the best cigar you can buy. Which one is your favorite? I have a few in mind!
My absolute favorite as well. Got 20 or so in my humidor right now. Every single padron I’ve ever smoked was spectacular from a taste and quality perspective.
A lot of my family knows I like cigars. When they ask “what cigars do you like” for a present. I just say any Padron will work. I haven’t smoked one I didn’t like. Yeah I have my favorites. But I will not be disappointed by any Padron. And I’ve NEVER had to use my perfect draw on a Padron cigar. To be honest I didn’t buy my perfect draw until I experimented with Cuban cigars.
You are including everything I like, fine Padron cigars, Lucchese boots, and nice watches. I have Lucchese ostrich boots, not the crocodile, but they are so comfortable.
I've always looked at Padroń as a 2nd to Cubans myself even though they're on the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to the flavor profile...but the 26 series is my go to
I just had a padron 1964 and I'm not sure if I had a bad cigar but it was not a good experience, the cigar was extremely bitter and hard to smoke, I have one more in my tuppedor that I'll be smoking in a few days, hopefully it will be a better stick, in the mean time, my father flor de las antillas in toro size is my favorite.
There are some individual cigars that stand out as good as padrons, some Ligas, Ashtons, Davidoffs and Fuentes, but no brand as a whole, including any cuban habanos brands, deliver the quality and consistency of padron… Padron offers a unique flavor profile and is definitely king of that profile… If you like spice and leather, or a mild creamy nuttyness, Padron is not going to check that box… the quality of the construction alone is best in the industry, and the flavors are top notch.
I'm a bit jealous of those humidors. Great video sir. Not much I'd like to smoke other than Padron. Have you tried Aladino? The lanceros are also great. Especially the vintage.
One of the better cigar reviews I’ve seen. Just a guy in his comfortable room enjoying a world class smoke giving his personal take. Love Cubans, but also really enjoy top notch Nicaraguan/Dominican smokes. Pardon’s best cigars are nothing short of amazing
I got lucky and found it on eBay. The guy I purchased it from got it from Holt's in Philadelphia. He just couldn't break down and smoke one. Although I think they are a treasure, I have to smoke them!
Nothing like flaunting your money for us.. with your fancy watches and boots. at least tell the truth, the only way to get that handcrafted humidor is to drop $2000 bucks on a box of 40 cigars. No brick and mortar is just going to hand you one. How would it look to you if I reviewed a cigar starting out with my $100,000 Hellcat and showing off my $50,000 gun collection? EXACTLY! Just review the cigar and leave your other status symbols out of it! I agree Padron makes a fine cigar, but out of the price range for the average smoker
