"PAN Monarcha"
Firt PAN I've tried (Thanks Rick), starts off mild but grows a good bit stronger as it smokes. Sweet flavors throughout. Very tasty cigar.

A great non isom, starts out a little mild but builds to a great strong finish. Very smooth.

Very Full and Rich tasting. Better than any of the Cubans I've had in the last 6 Months. (Yup, I've had Hoyo Double Corona's and Cohiba Esplendido's.) This is better than those too!

"PAM or PAN?"
I love Padron 64's...love them. I vacilate between maduros and naturals. I usually stick to the maduro's but opted for the natural on this day. It does not bring out the dark cream, but has an eartheral taste. A very pleasant eartheral taste. The draw was tough at first, but opened up after the first 1/3rd. That may be a problem for some since its such a big cigar. However, after that, you experience what Padron lovers know, that these cigars make a wonderful smoking experience.

"Great taste with difficult draw"
I aged this baby in my humi for a solid 4 months. Had a difficult time lighting, and had to touch it up with flame quite a few times without. However, when it did burn and was able to draw some decent smoke, the flavor was incredible. I think I have my humi at too high of a humidity level for this cigar (around 70%) I'm pretty much a newbe, so I'm trying to figure these things out.

"Padron 64 anniversary monarca"
Excellent cigar. Though all Padrons draw well, this was one of the better in that dept. Didn't loose flavor at all at the end, which is good for a larger cigar format.

"Just plain awesome...."
Let me preface by saying that I don't understand for the life of me how someone like SeanGAR can say such nice things and then rate the *Overall experience* a 5. The value..yes but WTF? Not accurate relative to what he's saying.
I bought 8 of these from my B&M. I'm a huge fan of Padron but I've never had this PAM vitola before. I let em rest @ 65% for two weeks.
This was almost as good as the Serie 26 Maduro #6. I love the feel of this Vitola in your hand and it seemed to last forever with a perfect ash, beautiful construction and a good burn. You could really taste the Ligero in this size and the distinct Padron Cocoa flavor seemed to be intensified. This wasn't the most complex PAM but wasn't 1 dimensional either.
I smoked her to the nub and I saved the nub to smoke in a pipe..lol. Wonderfull overall. I wish they weren't so expensive though but I'd rather smoke 1 of these then two 5 dollar sticks anyday.

"outstanding"
Found this with 4 years aging in Lahinia. Although I usually only smoke from one small island nation, this was finer then anything I'd had before.

"What else can I say?"
Not much I can say that hasn't been said. Superb smoke. Beautiful cigar. Tasty yet smooth. Feels nice in your hand. Truly the Cadillac of the NC world. Pricey, but cheaper than getting a Cuban!

"Worth trying and lives up to hype"
Picked up one of these after countless exceptional reviews. Sat down with a nice Johnny Green (blended malt) and it did not disapoint! Great draw, burn, complex flavors, white ash, lasts long. What else can you ask for? Better price

"Nice"
Bought a couple of these when my local shop ran out of the smaller ones. A solid cigar that is better than most NCs. The wrapper smell is nothing exciting the way Opus X or VSGs are, but nonetheless the excellent taste is as good as NCs get.

"My Plan, for this PAN, is to put my tongue..."
Imagine a perfectly pressed, box press cigar. The wraper is flawless and smells of cedar, leather, chocolate and nutmeg. She draws clean, burns evenly every time and the volume of smoke makes for picture perfect smoke rings

"Great product"
My favorite of the Padron family. Awsome construction, great burn, flavor. One of the best smokes out there. Only downfall is availability and price.
