Padron Executive

The "stealth" of super premium cigars. Often overlooked but never outclassed...

Bitter, young, this cigar bites back!

This cigar is proof that Nicaraguenses are getting better and better. The tobaccos are rich in flavor and produce a solid smoke with a potentialy intoxicating aroma. The finish is solid but not deadly. I've smoked quite a few of these and the quallity

THE BEST CIGAR I HAVE SMOKED AT ANY PRICE. IT BETS THE CUBANS HANDS DOWN.

good cigar for the price great taste.

One of the best cigars on the market. It's like eating chocolate cream pie all day!

Always an enjoyable cigar. Very flavorful and consistently excellent quality.

BEST CIGAR UNDER 10.00 YOU
CAN FIND ANYWHERE.

I was lucky enough to pick up a box of these on eBay for around $100. I had smoked some 1964 Anniversarios, which found to be excellent cigars, with a kind of sophisticatedly subtle flavor profile. When I smoked my first Padron Executivo, I was surprised at how similar the taste and smoke was to the pricier Anniversario. No note was overpowering; rather there were chords of creaminess, cocoa, leather, and the lightest touch of white pepper, conjoining in harmony, with absolutely no bite.

For the longest time I avoided the traditional Padron line of cigars. No idea why. But after trying more than a few recently, I really must say that I think they deserve their high marks.

The roll is truly old-world and obviously hand-made. Excellent draw with a wonderful soft feel in hand (I hate "hard" cigars). Lots of sweet rich aromatic smoke. The signature Padron flavor of sweet coffee and chocolate is evident. A great hour or more of pleasure. Yum.

No this is not a high-brow super-premium smoke with a ridiculously high price tag. Leave that stuff for people who don't have a clue. Instead, this is a wonderful, full flavored, gently sweet, delicious cigar that can be enjoyed on a regular basis. A real cigar smoker's cigar

If you are a traditional cigar lover - try a few. I think you will be happy.

I can't believe it's been 4 years + since I reviewed this smoke. I bought a box and still run across one in my boxes now and then. I smoked one this morning and can it is a wonderful "vintage" smoke. Not a 10 but close.

I have NEVER had a bad Padron, across all the frontmarks, and this one is just great! Well made, smooth/rich smoke with hints of cocoa and coffee, with medium strength. Perfect burn and nary a trace of bitterness even at the nub. "Stole" a box at auction for $90!!

A dream of a cigar! These things taste (I swear!) just like chocolate cream pie with coffee accents. The construction, burn and draw are flawless and it's easy to produce tons of rich, creamy, cocoa-smelling smoke. At around $6 each, these things are an outstanding value. This yummy cigar is now my main smoke.

I like this cigar, especially with a year on 'em. Great Padron Nicaraguan flavor in a big format. Great for story time or a poker game with the guys.

A healthy sized smoke thick full plume, medium flavor that builds, great construction dark leaf but blemishes on several of the sticks. Looking as a replacement on the golf couse to my old favorite the double chateau.

Nice hour and a half of medium coffee and cocoa flavor. If this cigar were stronger it would taste perfect. Can be overpowered with a strong drink. Great with coffee or an ale.

Well constructed cigar providing great draw and even burn. mild+ to medium bodied, not too much in the way of complexity, but a good solid smoke.
