Padron 3000

smoothness and texture is unmatched for a 4-5 dollar cigar. Cuban seed and quality for the price... outstanding!

Very good...
Not quite as refined, but with some aging comparable to the Anniversario

A beautiful affordable cigar. An even draw with some great smoke. A nice dark thick ash.

The most consistently perfect drawing cigars I've ever smoked.

One of the most consistant cigars in ANY price range.
Great burn, taste, and the aftertaste has to make it one of my favorites

thick, heavy smoke, clean aftertaste which got sweeter towards the middle of the cigar

Rich, great fiish (aftertaste, smooth and satisfying..

Well constructed, exceptionally smooth

Padron #3000 (Maduro) is a great smoke, and is probably the best overall value out there.

One of my personal favorites. I have yet to find another cigar that has the same bag for the buck.

This maduro is an exceptional bargain for the price. A nice mellow smoke, firm ash and a consistant

An additional year of aging really helps this one. Flavors are solid and definitely Nicaraguan but not too complex. Mellow full flavor of roasted nuts.
Very even burn.

Padron should ship the "3000" with a roach clip! This is the best buy for the money in cigars today.

The "Natural" looks like an EMS or maduro. Appear to be box pressed - somewhat square. Very well made and consistent. Draws well. Lots of rich creamy smoke. Full bodied but never harsh. Smoked it till I burned my fingers. Went back and bought a box

A very good cigar at a good price had a very good taste and aroma.I am looking forward to many more dates with this one!

Burn is great from stick to stick. I have gotten them from 2 sources on 3 occasions and have been impressed with the consistency. Very dense, tasty smoke. I have received numerous comments about the pleasant aroma.

This cigar has one of the best draw and aroma on the market. Consistently smooth and flavorful.

Considering the quality, one of the real bargins out there.

The wrapper on this cigar looked a little shabby.
I noticed some rough edges and an overall "tattered"
look. It was otherwise well constructed. Not as
dense as some I've seen of this size. Perfect,
productive draw. Mostly even burn with a light gre

It was a very good cigar that was very full bodied and strong. The ash was very crumbly and I had to relight it a few times.

Love a nice fat Padron.

As usual this cigar performed great, the taste was great and the construction was near perfect. Padron is one of the best brands out there, especially for the price.

One of the best compliments to
a glass of Rosemount Shiraz.

Great smoke!!!! Just ordered a box of em, and I have never ordered a box of any cigar in my whole life!!

This is a great cigar. No frills, just a well made cigar made from great tobacco. It's constructed beautifully - a dark natural wrapper, firm in the fingers a wonderful smell even before lighting up. Unlike the 2000 that's almost too easy to draw, the 300

Most definitely habit-forming.

Nutty is the word that comes to mind when I think of this cigar. A smooth draw with loads of smoke from the stick I had.

Just got done with this one and I must say that it was worth every penny. Great taste throughout the entire cigar. Great mix of spice and a hint of some grassy undertones. I had to remove the band and nub this one. Great cigar with an easy draw and awesome burn. My one complaint, it only lasted 3 holes on the golf course. This is a must try and I will be purchasing more.

I'm relatively new to cigar smoking, but I've had my share of awesome 5.00 dollar smokes. This one wasn't as good as I've heard.

I gave it a sniff, it smelled like your average medium bodied smoke. Nothing to write home about.

Construction on the one I had was sub par. It was lumpy, porous, and just plain ugly. I could almost sense it was going to just downright unravel on me.

I chewed it on the way home from the shop. It had a nice spice from the pre light draw.

After it was sparked, it began to run wild on me. Although I didn't need to correct it, it seemed to get out of control on a few occasions. The wrapper began to crack in a few spots midway through. No biggie.

The cigar tasted excellent for the money, though. It was medium throughout, also not as much smoke as expected from a thicker stick. The smoke was very faint, even when I'd give it a few puffs.

I smoked it down to right past the label, and all in all, it was one dimensional. Pretty straight forward cigar. (which isn't necessarily a bad thing)

I will say though, for you money, there are better every day smokes out there.

1/8 of an inch shorter than a montecristo edmundo. Always burn great, very consistant, medium complexity. At $80 a box delivered these are hard to beat.

I didn't quite enjoy it as much as the maduro, which I also had recently. Still, another smoke bomb as deliciously aromatic as any cigar out there. I didn't sense much spice at all and the finish was not as clean but still a fine smoke. Canoed just like the maduro but no touch up was necessary. Strong white ash and effortless draw added to the aesthetics.

I got lucky when a five-pack of Padron 3000's arrived as a substitute for the Padron Delicias I ordered. These were spicy and flavorful. The construction was great, and it's a fine looking cigar. Sometimes you just get lucky.

I've had a couple more of the 3000s and I must say the first review I gave is dead wrong. This is a great cigar from start to finish. It feels light in the hand, but it produces big puffs of smoke. Medium to full flavor and the flavor varies throughout. A complex stick. Easy to understand why they are so sought after. Will try the 1964 or 1926 series when I take out a second mortgage.

Nice smoke for a great price. Very light draw surprised me. The thick smoke tastes of leather, pepper and other spices. Nothing pretty about the cigar or the wrapper could lead one to skip over this quality smoke.

Good, but not great cigar. Wrapper looked great, but packed too loose, didn't give a very good draw. Good taste, might try the maduro padrons.

What a good smoking cigar. Full of cloudy smoke and even nice burn. Was a little loose but never got to hot for that palate. Have had better but had to pay a lot more for such a quality smoke. Highly recommend it.

The folks at Padron obviously know what they are doing. This sub $5 stick has tremendous flavor , it may not look beautiful but it sure tastes great!

This little beauty gives you tons of perfect white smoke. The ash is very white and hangs on forever. Pretty in appearance. Smells and feels good before lighting. Flavor was quite good and strong. Probably the best draw of anything I've ever smoked. Full-bodied. A smooth, fantastic cigar.

A tasty cigar, this one. First half was very chocolately and nutty, while the second half picked up some spice, which then settled down on the last third. Had a bit of an uneven burn with some tunneling around halfway through. For $3.99, Padron is a great value and although this cigar had some faults, I'd still recommend it is a nice full bodied smoke.

A true bargain. A sub 5.00 cigar that is better than most 2-3 times the price. Very smooth, nice burn, firm draw, and full enough to be interesting. (But not so full as to leave you sick) I consider it a treat every time a light one up.

This was my first ever premium long filler smoke. It was about 8 months ago, and I was put on my ass. I dont remember much about it because I was a rookie and I got a nasty buzz. I was in my local shop today and I decided to give it another shot. Appearance isnt spectacular, but it still looks good. Nice feel, not solid, but not underfilled either. Absolutely perfect draw. Razor straight burn. Nice varying flavors of nuts, wood, pepper and tobacco. Obviously, the 64's and 26's are better, but for the money I think this may be one of the best cigars out there. Absolutely outsanding.

This has become one of my two staple cigars (Arturo Fuente Chateau Sun Grown is my other). These cigars are full bodied yet smooth with tons of smoke. The flavors are powerful and priced around $4 which makes this cigar a great value.

Simple and good. You never go wrong with this stick. It is probably why there are so many reviews on this little guy.

A medium to full smoke with all the leather and spice you could ask for. Well balanced and smoked very well all the way.

Not too bad....Appearance was somewhat veiny and the stick was lumpy, however it burned evenly and had a nice smooth draw with tons of smoke. The flavor started out pretty bold and spicy and turned to slight peppery and woody. Nice smoke with a nice price, I would smoke again.

This cigar is always a consistant favorite. Great feel, construct, burn and taste. It never lets me down, especially for the price. Padron 64 &26 are of course amazing, but when you can't afford them (time & PRICE), this is my stand-by. It seems to me all Padrons get a really amazing flavor as you smoke them making the last half, even last quarter an amazing taste you don't want to put down, even past the band. This is no different... (ps my cigar shop is overpriced on everything, costs $4 elsewhere)

I paid about 3.50 for this smoke, and was very pleased. Draw was easy. Like many Padrons the wrapper was fairly veiny, but I'm not sure that's too important to me. What mattered most was the flavor, and like I said, I was impressed for the price. This was a medium bodied smoke with a bold start which quickly mellowed into distinct coco flavors with coffee. Over time this turned into nuttier flavors, and I enjoyed the changes the whole way. I'll certainly buy a few more and let them sit in the humidor for a while.

I found the appearance of this cigar to be a bit veiny and lumpy. The construction was ok: the stick burned evenly. The flavor ranged from spicey to woodsy, but took a while to get going. Overall, a good smoke with good value @ around $4.00 a stick.

This smoke freakin rocks for 4 dollars, I love the anniversary series but i gotta tell ya these babys hold there own quite nicely. The usual great quality Padron construction is here of course, the draw is easy with tons of smoke and great spicy flavor throughout. Go get some!!!!!!

Smoooooth. Great taste, great draw, smoke, experience. Might replace my current favorite, the El Ray Del Mundo Robusto....Construction was a little off, but taste more than made up for it.

I have smoked a few Padrons, this was my first 3000. The first thing I noticed about this one was how open and easy the draw was. Tons of billowing white smoke. Wthin about an inch and a half I already had a pretty good buzz going. Taste was pretty consistent with other Padron, a little harsh at first. Don't get me wrong, this was a pleasant smoke and it got smoother as it went along. Mostly woody taste. Not bad for the price.

I picked this one up after reading the top cigars of 2005 article. I let it sit for a week to settle, then couldn't wait to smoke it. It looked nice, but have seen better. Construction looked solid, felt nice, but a bit of the wrapper was ripped. It didn't hurt but still. I lit it, and took a puff. Easy draw, like going through a straw, but that's it. A hint of woody-ness and felt full. After 3 puffs, the woodyness and smooth long full taste subsided to a more medium taste. After that, it went downhill fast. At first it tasted a bit like coffee but more bitter than actual coffee. After 2 puffs, the coffee disappeared completely and just had a long bitter aftertaste with no flavor otherwise. I thought it may be too hot so I left it sitting for a bit, and still, bitter. I cleared it out, but still bitter. I choked down til about halfway where I couldn't take it anymore, it just tasted horrible. It had a good strong ash that held but it doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good. I seriously hope I got a bad one. I will try this one more time because it's cheap but consider me not impressed at all.

Purchased on of these on a cruise and smoked it when I got home. Was very pleased that all the ratings I read about were up to par. Excellent cigar, burned perfectly and taste was very smooth

Never had a bad one, ever! I've smoked we'll over a hundred of these, (that's not a lot) but I've never had a bad one. Great flavor, great burn, outstanding cigar. Nothing else to say.

I like the brand but don't understand the high scores. This stick was in the 'dor for about 6 months. Nothing really stood out, and nothing really disappointed me. At best a medium-bodied smoke. Burned fairly quickly.

This is in league with cigars 3 times its price. Very solid construction, burned evenly with good billowy smoke the whole cigar. Nice spice, good med/full flavors. Very smooth, clean on the palate. Can't think of any other cigars that match this as an enjoyable everyday cigar.

You can taste the care the Padron family puts into creating these sticks. I had this Padron 2000 or 3000 (I can't tell) in the box for about 8 months. The wrapper was shiny, veiny and had a mottled complexion of chestnut and dark brown. The prelight aroma was wonderful. The draw was perfect...just slightly on the tight side. The way I like it. The stick never got hot even way down to the nub. Body seemed to be an overall mild to medium although these sticks are billed as full flavor. Flavor started with cinnamon and cedar wood with a slight sweetness yet had a nice meaty chewyness to it. Overall the flavor went on to have varying degrees of above mentioned flavors. Just an incredibly enjoyable hour and 40 minute smoke. Aftertaste was pleasant.

If you can get a few years on these you will be rewarded. Nice smooth taste, excellent construction.

Nothing like the smell of the Padron Nattie, Consistently excellent cigar stick after stick. Pepper and great aroma all the way thru. I've had them young and aged as much as 5 years. Always a go to cigar for me.

This cigar appearance and presentation is very nice, with a subtly pressed body that was smooth and some what oily on the wrapper. The cap construction was smooth also, and cut very even to allow for a nice smooth draw.The foot lit even and held a slow burn with a crumbly salt and pepper ash. The taste were medium to full with notes of smooth spice and a solid woody finish on the lips. A fine stick for any one to try.

I hope not everything's been said about this line, but this is a wonderful Nicaraguan cigar. Terrible cap but great taste and aroma all the way through. Great tobacco flavor, I'd say med/full bodied and decent burn. Canoed a little at the end but by then it was time to put it out.

You can't ask for much more than this for a relatively inexpensive smoke...great constrcution, toasty flavor, lots of smoke...a real treat.

everything you want in a cigar without getting too picky...a real treat

This stick had a nearly perfect burn, consistently smooth and even with no nasty bits. The flavors are typical Padron, medium in body and earthy and toasty. The only downside is the lack of additional complexity, and after a few of them I've decided I prefer the maduro versions better for that extra little bit of flavor. Overall though an excellent value and a really nice cigar.

I enjoy my cigars for a bit before smoking. In this case the pre smoke was good. But after lighting there were too many bitter spots. It also burned fast.

This was the first Padron I ever smoked. I wanted to see if it was worthy of the high ratings. I enjoyed it but was not that impressed. I smoked a few more and started liking them more, but after trying the 2000M and other Padron Maduros, this is not a cigar that I enjoy nearly as much. Probably a good choice for someone that likes a mild cigar or is just starting to smoke cigars.

I absolutely love this cigar. From it's box shape to flavours and smell, it's great! This has got to be one of the best valued smokes out there. This cigar, though a natural, is quite dark in colour - I actually almost mistook it for a maduro! The wrapper is slightly oily and feels great to the touch. This cigar is quite firm without any soft spots or anything. The cap is poorly constructed but I use a punch on this so it doesn't affect me too much. This cigar lights quite easily, doesn't take too long, nor does it light to quickly. The flavours .. oo the flavours. It has that amazing Padron taste and dominates with cedar, sweet creaminess (almost like coffee), earthiness, and leather. These are really smooth smokes and aren't harsh at all, even until the end - and trust me, you will want to smoke these to the end. They burn evenly with a tight, light grey ash that holds for 2 inches or more. I just love these smokes and I think everyone should try at least one.

This Cigar was a good smoke. Not Great, but good. The burn was nice and the flavor complex and mellow. The "mellow" part was too much. I would smoke this cigar again, but as a nice friday nigh second cigar. I like heavier blends. This cigar was medium flavor. Give me a La Gloria # 5.

What a wonderful smoke. Much of cigar smoking is mental mixed with the physical act itself. The Padron 3000 Natural sets up the perfect combination of both. It feels and smokes just right. Thats the way I like it and thats the way it is.

Excellent smoke. Well worth tyhe money. Any almost perfect cigar. Satisfying, smooth, rich, and full bodied....... At a very reasonable price. the best for your buck!

This cigar has a unique flavor. The smoke has a very 'dry' characteristic and the draw is smooth and even.

Had smoked this cigar months ago and it did not leave me with a lasting impression. Tried it again several times this week and can only say it is now one of my favorite Padron's and cigars period.

One of the best sticks for the money. Allways tasty and mellow, like my old girlfriend.

Consistently excellent. Great construction and great taste.

Smooth draw, great taste, and SO affordable. These are everyday smokes, for sure.

Padron never dissapoints,always the same smooth and medium

What else can you expect from Padron, a great cigar with plenty of complexity! This stick has to be in the top 5 for TASTE AND VALUE!

An excellent smoke, with strong flavors of nuts and coffee. Great draw and a firm ash rounded it off. Padron proves why it is one of the best.

This cigar put me in a great mood. The draw was consistent, the burn even (although very slight tunneling), the white-gray ash held tight, but the flavor and aroma set this one apart from most of theothers I've tried. Highly recommend!!

As usual with Padron, great draw, beautiful ash. Great smooth taste that I ejoyed even after I was done. Almost burned my fingers trying to get all I could out of it. Simply put, a great cigar.

Three distinct flavors - cedar, toasted, and nutty. All in all, a very pleasurable smoking experience

Right at light up I knew I was in for a treat. This cigar had great draw and a classic burn,with a beautiful whitish, gray ash that held on tight. Bellows of smoke drew effortlessly and what a great balance of medium flavored smoke this is, rich and distinct,coffee, nutty, creamy,all with a slightly sweet background. Amazingly good. Took me by surprise. Another top 10 in my book.

Nice cigar, smooth pull and nice mellow taste.
Wish i had a box.

Started out very peppery(sp) almost like a cyan(sp) pepper and then tapered off to a smoother spicey taste with hints of coco to the end. Very, very good smoke. Great Value!

This has become my everyday cigar. These cigars are strong yet smooth with tons of smoke. An absolute steal for the price.

This has become my regular cigar and has never let me down. My opinion, it's underrated, esp. for the price. Easy, smooth draw with a ton of smoke and power.
