Padron 2000

For the price, excellent everyday cigar.

cant beat this cigar for the price.

A full-bodied, and pleasantly leathery taste. Great toothy wrapper and consistant construction. Short on the finish with a woody taste.

Creamy, full-bodied, nutlike --
gorgeous!

If your looking for a cigar that is sub $5, than this is the one. The average price I've seen has been around $3.75. This is a great all around cigar. I would put this up against the majority of cigars in the $10-$15 range. I am totally sold on this o

Hope this is the exception. Flawed wrapper, bad cap, harsh. Will try again.

Purchased a box based on your review. Thanks for the excellent tip. It's a wonderful smoke, excellent value and among my favorites so far.

Top smoke

Absolutely the best non-Cuban I've smoked. And the price can't be beat.

Smoothest bang for the dollar. I find others occasionally just as good, but never for under $4.00.

i was looking for an everyday smoke that is affordable. this cigar fits the bill nicely. worth many times it's price!!

very flavorful cigar. Deep spicy tones and a nice even draw. I smoke em' right down to the nub every time

This cigar had plenty of flavor, especially nutmeg. I've never tasted a cigar with such a nutmeg presence. I liked this cigar more than the Palma, I smoked earlier in the month, but less that the 3000 which has more spice. The burn and draw were fine and it's attractive in its simplicity. Overall, a very good buy for the money. This one had 4 months in the humidor, bet it will improve with age.

Have had this stick sitting in one of my humidors for about 7 months waiting for a special reason to light it up and getting a promotion seemed like a good enough reason.Apart from the slight unravel near the foot it was a real treat and some ageing has only helped the flavour.Smooth flawless wrapper, firm ash,delightfull aroma and an easy draw with loads of smooth blue grey smoke.A full flavoured smoke that really impressed this reviewer and it complimented the malt scotch that i was drinking,a must have in every ones humidor and too good to give away.

This guy along with the Oliva Serie G Maduro Beli are my top shelf staples. Smoke about 1/wk and am rarely disappointed. Very consistent. Decent flavor, great construction, nice price performance.

A RM22 ($5.80) cigar in my country, Malaysia, due to the unreasonable tax. For appearance, there was not much to say. it was good, just a little crack near the foot. construction was quite not up to standard. the cap seems to be made in a rush. after a solid cut & tested for the pre-draw, it went well.
The flavor, for me, the first third had some spiciness to it and there was a hint of sweetness (though i don't know where that came from). 2nd third of it was woody & sign of good tobacco. the final third was the same, just smoother. the flavor was ok but for someone searching for complexity, this is not the smoke for you.
so, for value was considerable (i hate the tax). imagine this, Montecristo no2 here is RM82 ($21.50)!!! but overall experience was good. i was sitting alone in front of my house while smoking this Padron.

It was smooth, earthy with a great draw and tons of cool smoke.

It was also super loose on the draw, bitter and tasted of poo.

I've bought 5 packs of this cigar monthly and have been letting them age. The problem is that you never know which one of those 2 cigars you're going to get. Last night I had the beautiful one that I smoked to the nub. Sometimes I get 3 in a row of smokes I have to dispose of after 3 pulls. The price is good, but I can't sacrifice humidor space anymore for smokes I can't rely on.

I don't know if this was dry or what. It was really bitter the whole way through. I smoked the whole thing but it was not enjoyable at all. I have 4 others that came with a humidor deal. I'll let the others sit in the humidor for a few months and write another review. The cigar looked, drew, and burned even... it just tasted terrible.

I have a closet half filled with P2KN empty boxes. This was love at first taste for me. They produce lots of smoke and I have NEVER had a plugged one. The price makes this even more attractive. Fantastic sun grown tobacco taste.

...to get a darn good cigar. I had this after a very disappointing H. Upmann Cabinet Selection, and this Padron, at almost 2 dollars less was the vastly superior cigar. Great construction, razor straight burn, and not a hint of harshness. Great flavor of high quality tosty tobacco. Not the most complex cigar you'll ever smoke, but quite possibly my new go-to cigar, since my tastes have turned more nic than dominican (Fuentes are still darn good though)

Great cigar, I've been wanting to try a Padron for awhile now and had this one sitting in the humidor for a couple months. Right off the bat, it had good flavors and burnt really well. The draw was perfect in mine; it wasn't like smoking air which is always good and showed some resistance which is needed in a good cigar. Towards the 2nd half until the end there was a really inviting sweet, tobacco flavor that makes me want to get a couple more for sure. All in all, it was the perfect smoke tonight for a very forgiving price. Anxious to try the maduro padron!

Although I experienced a few Burn issues in the first 1/3 it straightened it self out, must be smoked slow if you break the one puff a min you might get burn issues. In USA one of the best high rated cigar for the money. Even in pricey California I can get one from a high priced B&M for $6 which is still a good deal with this smoke. To address the Canadian price I would believe its all due to taxes. If I ran a country that payed for everyones health care I would tax tobacco highly as it can put you in the hospital in your later years. Also if I was in Canada I would pay the extra bucks for Cubans or go online where you can get a box of 30 for $90, 3 bucks each is a great deal. Overall nice smoke great mild-medium, Long gray ash with a medium draw. Very consistent but not dull not a spice bomb but not bland or grassy at all. Taking all things into account .......NICE

Burned way too fast for me. A really easy draw with clouds of smoke. A little spice and a decent flavor. What I really didn't care for was the draw. Too easy thus too hot. I suppose if I wasn't walking around the park I may have enjoyed it a bit more. I'll try the other few I've got in a more relaxed setting.

This cigar lit well, burned evenly and maintained a fairly consistent flavor throughout. It needed to be re-lit once, but no other problems. Good quality for the price! Smoked this cigar when I found out we were having a boy!

Beautiful made cigar with a lovely looking dark brown natural wrapper. The lite, the burn, and the draw were all excellent.
The Flavor this cigar start out very spicy and slowly tone done which was too bad, I wish that spiciness would continue through out the smoke. Because of the spice at the beginning I was expecting a full body cigar but as it turn out is was a very nice medium body cigar with a lot of earthy and herbal flavors
As for the pricing in Canada, $20 CDN is a hell of lot money for a regular Padron. For the same price in Canada I can easily pick an Ashton VSG or for bit more money get a Cuban Monte #2. The price on the Padron is way out whack so it not a great value for the money.

These were very highly recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed! Very nice looking but a little darker than most naturals that I've seen. Started out very nice. Burned very evenly, drew well with good smoke and a nice tight ash. Well constructed. Very mild, smooth smoke but doesn't dissapoint in the flavor deptartment. It has plenty but not so much that knocks you backward. A great cigar from start to finish at an excellent value at around $80 for a box of 25.

Not a multi-dimensional cigar this is a reliable good tasting smoke. Draw and construction were near perfect. Flavor was bready-sweet with a touch of spice. Not a heavy or dense cigar it would please mild to medium-full fans.

Although, not the most expensive, still a good burn. This cigar I have found to be extremely complimentary to Bourbons such as Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve.

This cigar is dark but smooth. It has a very good flavor for an inexpensive cigar and this makes it a really good value. This is the type of dark cigar I like. It is flavorful but smooth and not overpowering.

I would choose this cigar over many Cubans I've smoked. Great burn, nice peppery ash, and it has that wonderful spicy flavor. I will definitely pick up another box of these, maybe in maduro.

This stick was nicely balanced as it got more tastey 1/4-1/2 down the stick. Nice Peppery taste... probably the least complex Padron, but great value. Couldn't tell the difference between the Maduro and the Natty in wrapper shade. Highly recommend everyday smoke w/ the other thousands line...

its a great package, a 5 x 50 box pressed robusto with a firm kick at a bargain. what i did not anticipate was for this cigar to posess the same quality of outstanding contruction as a Padron 1964. A beautiful stark white ash that breaks only once. Easy light, consistent burn, voluptious smoke, effortless draw (especially notable as it is boxpressed). Enjoyable to the nub. Smooth oily wrapper. Taste wise: its a straightforward Nicaraguan puro, lots of spice and bight, dark and earthy. Sort of stalwart and austere, which i think is great for a 4 dollar smoke, but does not cut it for a $15-20 Padron 1964. I would be curious as to how this cigar would age. Also, since it is such an inexpensive, straighforward, heaty cigar, i want to try dipping the heads in a little bit of rum next time, like my good Cuban friend does with his grandfather's homemade cigars. Makes for a sweeter and more aromatic smoke.

These are inexpensive, are full-flavored with a great taste, burn well, look great, and are inexpensive. Padron could probably charge 1.5X as much as their current MSRP and it would still be a very good buy. Frankly, this is the ebst non-cuban cigar mnufacturer around today because all of their products are consitently good.

A nice smoke considering this is one of the cheaper Padron’s. I was not expecting much, but got a nice surprise. This is a good smoke. A bit of a canoe problem on the burn but I can live with that for an inexpensive smoke that has a lot of spice and flavor. I can only imagine how much better the more expensive Padron’s will be. I may have to break my $5.00 rule for this brand.

I like the Maduro version better...just seems to have a little more flavor than the natural version. Still an excellent smoke with spicy flavor, nice draw and burn, a good value...I just like the maddies I guess.

I love these. Consistent smokes that almost always burn perfect and draw great. I love the taste...lots of tobacco flavor sort of leathery and woody at the same time and pretty smooth. Not strong enough to knock you on your ass but strong enough to keep you interested.

First Padron I've had in a while, and was expecting a bit more, but this was still a fine smoke. Last 1/3 was the most enjoyable. A little harsh and instringent at times - it really picked up as it went along. Not the absolute top of the heap but it was still first rate.

Peppery and very tasty, and the smell. Can't get enough, and at this price I can smokem alot, and I do. Hard to beat this cigar at this price. After a bad day at work its nice to know I can grab a 2000 and be sure I'll be satisfied. Very consistent, after all its a Padron. One of my favorites and I can smokem every day. A staple in my rotation.

Quite possibly the perfect draw...not to heavy, not too easy. Was a little harsh tasting after first lighting, but developed into a rich, smooth taste...a little nutty and woody with VERY slight hints of sweetness. Construction is good, but the cap did come loose after cutting and did fall off after a few minutes but didnt affect the burn or taste the rest of the cigar. Burns very consistant

A strong cigar that kept getting stronger. I also felt I had to keep it lit, maybe rolled too tight

I was very excited to try this cigar. Unfortunately, I must agree with the previous reviewer who compared this to a lucky strike cigarette. It was O.K., but it was bitter, and not very smooth. Disappointing.

Can you handle the truth? Okay. This is a machine-made White Owl! "Hand-made" regarding this product means turning the machine on by hand. The cigar has been chemically-treated to burn like a cigarette and is a "Johnny-one-note" in flavor. Don't buy a box until you've smoked one in a sample group, because this ain't no goodie! Actually, I marvel at how close this is in taste to a Lucky Stike cigarette. If you like bundle-cigars in quality then this one may be for you, but if you like quality and complexity, forgedaboudit.

I can deal with this cigar. The price is just right for what you get. Very earthy/barnyardish with some spice. I enjoyed it!

Not a lot to say when you smoke a Padron just take your time and don't burn your finger. Heavy notes with lots of smoke.

Although I have a different favorite in the regular Padron line (the 2000M right now) this is a very good cigar. It started out pretty robustly toasty and earthy, and mellowed slightly after the first inch to become a very smooth and tasty medium-bodied smoke. The flavors remained consistent to 1" burn, and the only detraction is probably the lack of additional flavor depth. I prefer the maduro version slightly for it's additional flavor depth, but both are excellent smokes and excellent values.

Good cigar. Great price. Even burn. Decent construction. Good amount of smoke.

Just had my second one, and I just had to say that this is a great cigar!!!

Very nice cigar especially for the price. Burned very evenly and lasted a while. Smelled and tasted great.

The Padron family knows cigars, and I'm so glad they do. This cigar was very well rolled, with the exception of the traditional loose cap they are famous for, and the draw and burn were perfect. The flavor was excellent and the cigar really came through. I love these and will always have a box on hand.

Draw just perfect, burn absolutely flawless, less than 1/16 of an inch deviation all the way down. Lots of smoke, great for smoke rings. Taste was good, not great, but had leather, spice, wood, creamy smoke. I think for the money and size, these are hard to beat.

I have had this cigar in my humidor for about two months now and have been waiting to smoke it. It has received great reviews and it smelled of dark warm wood. When I finally did get to smoke this the other night I was dissappointed. The draw was a little tight but had a nice mellow mild taste. There was something about it that just didn't do it for me though. Better than some I have smoked and also not as good as others.

After trying these a few times I bought a box and went through them with a friend. Great smoke with a nice burn.

I was excited to try this one after reading some of the reviews. It was well made and burned well but it was very harsh. It had an overpowering flavor that also did not taste well. The smell of it was offensive to others that were around me.

Let this sit in my humidor for 7 months before lighting it and it it was fantastic! It burned perfectly and was so mellow, not a trace of harshness. I've got a few more I've been aging that I can't wait to smoke!

Gave the 2000's a 2nd and 3rd try yesterday and it was a totally different experience from the first one I tried. Outstanding is the first word that comes to mind. Dead even burn throughout. No harshness or bitterness like the 1st one I tried. Rich in taste and good priced.

After reading all the positive reviews I had to try one. Was very dissappointed. Nice construction and appearance, but taste was very bitter and harsh. May have just been that one, but I have since bought several more to try after aging in the humidor for a little.

To my tastes this was a wonderful smoke. Smooth and silky, flavorful yet mild. Full bodied with tastes of coffee, caramel. The word that comes to mind is "creamy". It reminded me of my daily caramel machiatto at the "Bucks". Possibly too timid for some I found it to be satisfying and gracious. Wonderful for dessert or as a morning treat. A slightly tight draw upon lighting quickly yeilded to a smooth, gentle draw. I smoked this cigar outdoors at my deck bar on a warm evening. I had smoked an Ashton heritage about an hour prior.

After reading all of the positive reviews of this cigar, I bought several and gave them a try. Alas, I found this cigar to be bland. The appearance and construction were great, but I just didn't care for the flavor. I guess that is what makes cigar smoking interesting - some cigars will float your boat, and others won't, no matter how highly recommended they are.

what a great cigar for the money! silky draw, had NO problem with the cap. Medium and smoooth, peppery spice towards the end.

Lightly box pressed & the wrapper has a matte like finish. Medium to full bodied. The ash is light & tight. This cigar has a woodsy tone & a nice spice profile that I can never describe adequately. Maybe hints of.....Nah, nothing else quite tastes like a Padron. I like em.

Medium-bodied ,hints of coffee and nuts a perfect puro!Easy draw ,lots of smoke,solid ash always smoke them to the nub.That is why I switched to the 3000's ,I just had to have alittle more.

Not quite as full as one might seem. Very flavorful, but not too strong. Great draw and appearance. A ciagr for the evening hours.

This is a great smoke for the money. It has just a woody flavor with the slightest hint of earthy spice. Smokes a little uneven, but holds a good ash. This will be a regular in my humidor.

Simpler and more "natural" tobacco flavor than Maduro. Medium bodied, nutty, straight forward still mellow enough. Good after light meal.

This is one fine cigar. Starts out real spicy, then mellows out quickly while maintaining a peppery undertone. Nothing but straight-up flavor in this stick, which is a plus for anyone who is sick of trying to decide weather they are picking up "notes" of German cocoa or "hints" of roasted Columbian coffee bean on the finish of their cigars; because you won't have to worry about that with this smoke. I'd love to hear someone try to over-describe this cigar. Anyway, this is a great smoke, and the price is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Padrons are my favorite, and these are quality smokes from the less-expensive Padron series. got a box for about $90, but was initially disappointed in the first impression of the cigars, probably due to the rough handling and shipping and lack of humidification during storage/shipping. The caps were all about to fall off, and therefore had to use centerpunch. Initially tasted harsh and sour after lighting, but when allowed to mellow for 2 mins, it tasted wonderful. Great, bold flavor all the way through, and lasted about 1 hour. Ash is light grey, and tastes of chocolate and coffee. Smoked until 1.5 inches left, and turned very sour once the smoke got hot. Overall, excellent price, and an excellent smoke for a non-cuban. Padron has another winner on my list.

This cigar looks nice, has excellent draw, and good construction. Almost no veins on the wrapper. Cap comes off easily. Wrapper started to unravel a very tiny bit in one place. This one starts off VERY full-bodied and very peppery. Starts to mellow slightly after an inch or so. Tastes mostly of pepper with a touch of Padron spice. This one was just a bit too full-bodied for me, and way too peppery. If you like pepper you'll probably like this alot. Quite a nicotine kick.

The cigar has a viney velvety wrapper. It was a bit hard to clip (suspect it¡¦s because of the cutter), good cap, and pre light draw has a hint of pepper. It is easy to light, which is not at all surprising. Draw is a bit loose, has a rich woody taste and pepper, hints of cedar, spices, cocoa, earthy and a light touch of sweetness. Draw becomes smoother after it passes the first third. The cigar has a dry finish, and the taste is consistent throughout the cigar. Ash is gray and firm. It burns a little bit uneven, and burns slow. Seems like it lacks something comparing to the 3000 maduro, but it's equally good.

Peppery flavor with some flat woody undertones. It maintains it's peppery flavor right down to it's sharp finish. Salt and pepper ash was strong and long lasting, which gave away it's good construction, which was held togother by a slightly toothy wrapper.

Dry leathery peppery smoke. perfect draw. little aftertaste - growing in strength and tasting incredibly strongly of coffee and cocoa.
Personaly, I prefer a sharper flavored cigar, but I really can't fault it.

Enjoyable all-around smoke with rich earthy flavors and aroma

This has become one of my favorites. Excellent draw, full of flavor, and not too expensive.

Great smoke from a super Primo name. Hard to find a better smoke for the money than this.
This box pressed beauty is a medium strength cigar with consistent flavor. Keep one in the Humidor at all times.
