Padron 1964 Anniversary Exclusivo (M)

This cigar is flawless both inside and out.
It smokes perfectly and is extremly complex.
"What a rich,dark and oily wrapper".
I have a box in my "Lillibridge Collection" Humidor
for special occasions, such as waking up in the morning!!!
I hope you have su

a real beauty

Absolutely the best cigar available for the price. It's hard to put this one down. If it weren't for my fingers, I would smoke it to the very last draw.

One of the best cigars I have ever smoked. Excellent tasting cigar.

This is the richest tasting cigar I have ever smoked.
It was simply wonderfull.

By far the best damn cigar I have ever smoked. The price is steep but you keep going back for more, is this cigar legal?

My first Anniversario. Best cigar I have ever smoked

THIS IS MADURO

Padron Anniv. Exclusivo maduro. What can I say that hasn't been said before. A great, rich looking cigar. The wrapper is a flat, dark chocolate color. Firm to the touch, even after ample humidor time. Perfect draw and an easy light. The ash is white

All you ever hear about is "cuban this & cuban that", well I have only smoked about six different cuban cigars and NONE of them compare to this! This is without question the best cigar I have ever smoked!

Phenomenal! Very rich for a small cigar. Among the best I have ever had.

As good as it gets.
Excellent construction and feel.
Creamy rich smoke.

Love that boxed press presentation. Great burn and tons of smoke.

One of the best cigars in the world, including Cubans.

great looking but burned very irregularly about half way
down, went out once and was hard to restart, then had
an awful smell after the restart for a short time.

almost a 100% perfect smoke!

All the cigars in the Padron Anniversary series are spectacular.
However, I am particularly fond of the Exclusivo. With approximately
Nothing relaxes quite like this one. Try 60 minutes of sure bliss
and don't forget the Glenlevit.

This is one of the overall best cigars I have ever had, period.

the best cigar i've ever had...hard to find sometimes, but well worth the wait

Outstanding! As good as the regular Padron line is, it is hard to believe that these are even better. Hard to find and a little pricey...but worth it.

The Ultimate Medium-bodied Puro!!!

Best damn cigar in the world today! Bar none!

I've had my fair share of top-shelf Cubans, and this puppy hangs in with the big dawgs!

Best cigar I have ever smoked a pure pleasure

I guestion the storage conditions of the cigars. It seemed alittle dry. the filler was loose inside the wrapper. The taste was smooth and flavorful untill the last half when the burn was inconsistant leading to a disapointing finish. Not the cigars fa

THE BEST CIGAR I HAVE EVER SKMOKED.

I sincerely hope that the rich Nicaraguan soil was not affected by the hurricane. Any alteration of the taste or complexity of these cigars would be tragic.

I'm 54 & been smoking cigars since 1972, these are among the finest cigars on the planet, bar none! A truly GREAT CIGAR for the experienced smoker, a little on the full flavored/full bodied side, but it has GREAT FLAVOR, not over-powering.

Hmmm.... one of these grosly overated cigars or three more enjoyable cigars for the same price? There is simply nothing special about this cigar except for the rareity.

If you can afford it, this is the best yard gar anywhere. appearance, construction, flavor and overall experience are second to none.

Gotta jump on this one. One of the best cigars available to mankind. This cigar is better than $20+ cigar's I've had. Way better. The flavors remind me of home, the Holidays, family, friends, everything a good cigar should be.

The Cohiba maduros & H Upmann mag 50 are the only cigars that are equal to or better than these in my opinon. With two plus years in the humidor these are the best. Half the price of the Cohiba and alot easier to find than Mag 50

I got 5 of these baby's for 10 Bucks each and I would have paid more. The flavor,appearance and everything about this stick is wonderful, take it over any cigar out there.

Wow. First PAM and it was amazin. Great construction except for a sloppy cap. Burned straight as a razor and gave off lots of smoke. The flavor is where it excelled. It was coffee/cocoa with a touch of spice. Paired well with the coffee I was drinking. This is the best NC I have ever smoked. You get what you pay for and this Padron delivered.

Great looks and construction make this flavorful smoke a joy. I'm still partial to the 1926's but these are still a pleasure.

great flavor spice and creamy notes hit in this great size by padron. I wish more cigars were like this but cheaper.

Most of my time spent with these PAM 64's have been pleasant. However, I had some draw problems for the first 1/3. After that it opened up and gave me the notes that make Padron famous. I especially like this size. They are pricey and I expect better draws from such sticks. Regardless, I won''t let one bad apple ruin the bunch!

This was one good smoke. Amazing burn, draw and flavor right up until the end. A pleasure to smoke from start to finish.

Based on 2 purchased recently I found them to be a bit young. BUT, as far as look and construction its the same as ever. Hearty spices w/ dark chocolate but in perfect harmony. My first true cigar love continues to deliver.

The New standard. These are the ones I keep coming back to. This is what a good cigar should be.

i have smoked a lot of these and have never been disappointed. perfect draw, flavor,construction etc. they would be a bargain at twice the price!

no. one! all time favorite, great value.

Just like it's cousin, the PAM Torpedo; this delivers a complex array of flavors including spice, chocolate, cinnamon, etc. at a very rich and full bodied level. The construction was exquisite, the draw was outstanding with lots of smoke and it burned perfectly. In terms of consistency of quality, I don't think there is a better cigar out there.

Great construction, great draw, great burn, great flavor, etc... Just what you expect from a Padron.

yes, this was a special cigar. tightly, almost magically packed was the best trait. smooth burn and draw. the taste didn't change my life, but i do understand the high ranking.

I don't want to go in to much details. One of the best robusto cigars that I have had worth every penny.

Of the 50+ cigars I've smoked this year, this was the best of the lot. Perfect construction, burn, and draw. Excellent flavor, smooth with some nutty earthy hints. No after-taste. I wish they weren't so expensive.

Any one who rates this cigar below a 7.5 either received a counterfeit or is reviewing on price alone. This is a great cigar. Even my uneducated palette knows a cigar that is above the crowd. I wish the price was lower, but every other aspect of this is cigar is top notch. The taste it left in my mouth was very pleasant. It smoked evenly. I'm not sure what the people who rated this cigar low were looking for, but their expectations must have been built up by someone. I smoked this on a recommendation from my local cigar store and was totally impressed. This cigar is a treat.

My first cigar I ever smoked was this beauty, and 10 years later I am still in love. The maduro wrapper is more complex than the natural, and is what I prefer.
Contstruction is always perfect, draw as well. The cigar has a hint of sandalwood, cocoa, and a spciy draw at times which all together well. Try this cigar out, the ideal size too.

I don't know what happened to these cigars. I've let them sit and pampered them but they are flat and boring. I've enjoyed many in this series but these are duds plain and simple.

i really dont understand why so many people likes them,this is very average smoke and for the price they demand its ridiculous smoke.there is some good flavors in it but complexity is zero yes zero,its fla boring from beginning to end

This was my first Padron '64 and I was impressed with it over all. Beautiful wrapper, only a few bumps prevented this one from being a 10. I lit up and at first the cigar was a little harsh, I could feel it on the back of my throat. The burn was a little uneven as well. I was thinking "All that money for this?". I purged the smoke and ashed and thats when the cigar recovered. It was a very complex cigar. I tasted mostly coffee and nut flavors with a hint of woodiness. Every draw was a little different, had some earthiness some, even a few draw had a little floral taste which surprised me. Smoked it to the nub and lasted me around an hour and 45 minutes. A tad expensive but I'd like to come back to it when I'm better at picking out flavors, maybe in a couple months.

I bought a box of these & the Maduro Torpedos. I find these aren't quite as bold as the Torps, but excellent none the less.
Presentation & aroma are excellent, and as for smoking, bold flavors of cedar, cocoa, wood & spices, you just can't go wrong.

With these priced at around $10 it's a steel. Just watch how fast these fly off the shelves when the shops get them in! There are plenty worse out there for $20 or more.

Although aged for 1-2yrs alongside other super-premiums, the maduro version didn't suffer from the same severe drop in flavor. It was toasty and cocoa with a bit of Nicaraguan earthiness, but nowhere near as overbearing as the natural. Occasional bits of leathery tobacco ligero came through, and though lacking a bit of depth it was clean and tasty to the nub. I think I still like the Principe Maduro better though...

This is what any cigar should aspire to be. If I have any criticism of this smoke it is the price is too cheap and can be hard to find. Perfect wrapper, draw, aroma an and taste.

working on a box of these from a holiday season purchase. this has loads of spice with great bitter chocolate and coffee flavors. i have found this size to pack the most punch of the 64 maduros. currently, this is the best cigar out there in my opinion.

this cigar is better than i remember. uniform chocolate color, really hard to the squeeze, but a perfect draw nonetheless. bleach white ash. Loads of cocoa powder and fresh oak. Flutters of pepper, paprika, and walnuts. Complex and balanced, can't ask for a whole lot more.

What the heck, it's a special occasion (day one of the NCAA tourney)! The complexity of this stick is rivaled only by the Boli RC and Opus, and the duration of finish eclipses both. This one was as good as any PAM I've had, despite needing a couple of touchups. Coffee grounds and leather, with dark chocolate and licorice building in steadily. In defense of the value, you know exactly what you're going to get when you plunk down your money, and it's a flavor you just can't approximate anywhere else.

I read the occasional negative review about any cigar that Padron makes and wonder if people are getting fakes or they just don't know a good cigar from an ordinary one. I suspect the latter. I have smoked boxes of the 1964 in all sizes and they are the model of consistancy and taste. It's like smoking a Godiva chocolate bar. I think I've said enough.

Was expecting Club Med, instead I got Jones Beach.

For the money and availability this cigar simply sucks, many other great cigars out there that you can actually find and afford.

i have never been disappointed with one of these. the most consistent and uniform cigars ive found. i'm not getting into fruit, nut and candy flavors so all i'll say is i love to smoke these cigars more than any other i've found and that includes cubans. also as far as value/price look at the top 10 and you see this is 1 of the least expensive smokes there. i give this cigar 10's across the board!

Burn was even but the ash is very flaky. Does not hold at all. Very good flavor that starts out spicy and soon mellows to a fine flavor. Construction is top notch but overall it is over-priced for whats out there now.

Granted, this is a well-made cigar. But... I found it rather one-dimensional. Not worth the bucks....

Very nice looking cigar. Nice dark wrapper. Construction was fantastic. Nice draw and perfect burn. Produced plenty of smoke. This cigar was very smooth. Didn't have any harshness or bitterness but also didnt knock me off my feet with flavor either. Like i said, it was just smooth. Not spice or pepper in this smoke like i was waiting for. I wouldnt even call it medium. Not a bad smoke, just wasnt what i was hoping for with all the hype. I have to say i did enjoy it overall, just wanted more. I have to say i like the perdomo esv91, ashton vsg, avo domain, and la aurora 100 anos all more then this one. Maybe the other sizes will be a lil better.

The El Rey Del Mundo that I had yesterday was better than this at a fraction of the price. The construction was fine, but not great and the flavors were one dimensional and flat. There was enough smoothness to smoke this one to the end, but I did not choose to do so.

I've tried 3 of these and don't get what all the fuss is about it. I think it is very overrated as I have had cheaper cigars that were much better.

You can smoke this size or any other Anniversary and you will encounter the finest cigar made. Construction is perfect, presentation is alluring, and the flavor shows complexity with a full mouth feel of rich, aged tobacco, without the heat.

I picked one of these up while in Miami a month ago and have been looking at it in my humidor, waiting for the right time. Today was that time and I broke it out and gave it a try.

The cigar is very nice looking. The prelight is nothing special, but the 10$ I paid makes me anticipate this one. Once lit, the smoke was strong and the flavor basic, but pretty good. I think I have had 5 dollar cigars that were just as good or better, but this was not a dissapointment for me.

It was a nice smoke but wasn't big enough to really get the flavor to unlock. It started to happen right as my fingers got warm. I'll stick with the Imperial (M).

i have yet to find another cigar i like as much as this. i buy them by the box so they are about 10 bucks each. everything else pales in comparison and you get what you pay for.

This is a very good cigar, don't get me wrong, but not the best I've had. Padron is top notch for smoothness and construction, but this smoke just didn't have the complexity I was looking for. The first half was abundant with taste, the second half sort of died off and became one-dimensional. These are starting to get a little pricey for what they deliver, which is very good, but not great.

It is a good cigar that burns well. I did not find it nearly complex enough to warrant the price tag though.

This is the best cigar I've ever smoked...period.
And I've been doing it since the mid-80's, before it was "fashionable". In fact, I love cigars so much that I've been to Cuba, Dom. Rep and Honduras obviously after tasting the Padrons....I will go to NICARAGUA!!!!

I like the look of this cigar, but the price ws a bit over the top for me. I don't see how this is worthy of that amount. It is just good, not great.

A beautifully made cigar. Produces abundant rich flavorful smoke. I am going to try the imperials next.

A very nice looking cigar. Can't say the prelight did anything for me though. The taste was smooth with enough power to keep me going. It was complex at times, but the pricetag still makes me balk a bit.

Well, I had to review this cigar, something that I never do. I was so pumped up to try it that I may have hurt what I felt a bit. In the end, it turned out to be a cigar. A well made and flavorful cigar...that cost me too much money. Great rep, but only partly earned.

I find this cigar to be quite well built and it carries about as much hype as any cigar on the market that is not a Cuban. It is not going to make you better looking or rich or even more intelligent, but it will give you a good hour of smoking happiness. I managed 5 from c-bid for about 13.20 bucks each (not 20 bucks for all five like I mistakenly put previously)...at that price they are a good deal, but don't smoke them often. Ok, now that I got the price finally correct, I will move on to other cigars.

I had to do a lot of doctoring to keep the burn even. Flavor was top notch.

i really like these. beautiful to look at, taste great...and smooth. they do seem to be predicatable, but predicatably good. i can't wait to try a 1926...

I know that these are considered top notch and I have had some great ones in the past, but this one just had something lacking in taste. Construction was perfect. Burn was perfect. It required 2 or 3 relights

Great construction and burn produce billowing clouds of smooth smoke with the distinct taste of bittersweet chocolate. Top notch.

I love these cigars. As a cigar family, Padron is among the best. While I will do nothing to tarnish the well deserved high marks for this cigar, I would be remiss if I didn't challenge a few aspects of this great smoke. The construction is incredible as is the appearance. Only Fuente Opus X pays more attention to the beauty and appearance of their cigars. Yet for flavor, I must admit this is not my favorite cigar - taking nothing from the greatness of the cigar, it just isn't my favorite flavor (I prefer a 1926 natrual). I felt the flavor on the three or so boxes I smoked in the past six years have been predictible and nice, but no real suprises. This said, I don't expect as much from shorter sticks. The flavor is a constant pleasure without a great deal of dancing around from this to that. Value is exceptional at just over $250 a box ($10/stick).

Got 1 of these last weekend and it lived up to the hype. A very oily wrapper and boy did it unleashed a deep, smooth, lucious taste. Draw was a tad tight at first but it worked out. Finish was just a tad harsh but this was still a great experience. A true champ!

I managed a 5 pack of these for 20 bucks on C-bid. I got very lucky for sure since my first experience was sooo good. This is not really a review so much as a bragging right. Similar to my last review, these were pretty much perfect. I've smoked two and they were exactly the same. Just awsome!

This is an absolutely wonderful smoke. Excellent appearance, and I have yet to have a bad burn. The flavor is consistent and so enjoyable. Plenty of smoke without a hard draw. Smoked half a box and I can't find another box or I would buy it without blinking an eye. Delightful!!

flavor was really developed and smooth. a classic example of what a great cigar should taste like.

I am typically a cheapskate when it comes to cigars. I've prided myself at finding high quality cigars for under 3 bucks, and I kick and scream when paying more than 5. However, I paid the full 8.50 for this one (Im told this was a steal) and I have to say, it was worth every penny! The perfect burn, aroma and creamy flavors you would expect in a dream cigar. Well wake up! Here it is! It will be difficult to smoke my "bargain" cigars after this. It is like going back to a 19" b/w TV after trying out a 57" Toshiba with HDTV and surround for a month. Must TRY this cigar.

I had to try one of these based on the ratings on this site and others. This is a great smoke. The square pressed construction was nice, the wrapper was flawless. The burn was excellent, with a nice tight ash. The taste was smooth, very creamy, flavours of cacao and slight spice, mild leather tastes, not as leathery as the 1000's series. Overall very balanced flavors. I could see why the price is what it is. If you can't get real Cubans at a decent price, this Padron should be your next choice.

Outstanding. I found a local retailer with a couple boxes of these and I'm going back to get one.

The falvor was a bit mild for my liking, but the smoke was good.

Excellent cigar - the pick of the Anniversary series - both '64' and '26'.

This is a very good looking smoke with a nice box press and oily dark wrapper. The cap cut with nicely and the pre lit draw had hints of earth and a little spice. The foot lit even and held a nice dark ash that burned even all the way to the nub. The taste was medium to full with notes of cedar and some nutty leather hints with a hint of pepper. The bodie became fuller on the last half with lots of tobacco and earth, just a lovely smoke.

Outstanding cigar. A dream smoke and as good as any Cuban... better than most.

I have tried a lot of smokes, from $3 Gisperts all the way up to $21 Padron 1926 Anniversarys and the 1964 Exclusivo Maduro is in my Top 10. Granted the top spot is a Cuban and others are less expensive than this one, I still keep a couple of these around to enjoy when I have time to smoke the whole thing. The first thing you'll notice about these sticks is the construction; it's first-class, bested only by Davidoff and other top-tier smokes from Fuente and Ashton. Dispite the high price, you get more than meets the eye, as these are dense and slow burning; if you're not careful it will go out on you. It has a smooth maduro wrapper with nary a blemish in sight. Unlike some maduros, this one doesn't have a shine to it, but the Padrons are known for making mild-to-medium bodied smokes, so the flavor here is more of a sweet-and-smooth rather than the bold, spicy sweetness that you'll find in other maduros. These sticks burn great, producing a nice amount of sweet smoke and a bright white ash. In terms of flavor, this mild-to-medium bodied stick has hints of cocoa and a little coffee, with a slight hint of nuts and toast. The only downside to this smoke, in my humble opinion, is that the smoke leaves a slight dry feeling on your pallete, similar to that of red wine. It's not a bad thing, but it's not for everyone. The finish is also very short. When I pay top-dollar for smokes, I almost expect that great flavor to last for hours afterwards. Regardless of the shortcomings (which are really minor) I will say that this is a great smoke that few people would be disappointed with. Dispite the high price, I believe that these are superior in flavor and value when compared to the 1927 Anniversary edition. This smoke should appeal to just about every cigar smoker, regardless of body preference. It's mild enough that newbies and lighter smokers should enjoy it, yet it has enough body and flavor that all but the most hard-core should enjoy.

I just broke out one of these at the campfire. With a margi in one hand and an exclusivo Maduro in the other, I can't describe the pleasure. This cigar tastes smooth, creamywith some leather and cocoa. The flavor builds as you smoke and I always find myselfsmoking it down to my pinched fingers. I have rated this cigar a perfect 10 because I have found no other cigar that is better. All cigars I smoke are compared to this. It is simply the best there is.

Sorry, but overall I was dissapointed. Got this for my birthday, and expected amazing things, and on some fronts, it delivered, excellent construction and appearance - very professional. Flavor was a little lacking, only thing I really noted was spice. Draw was too tight - which might explain the flavor problem (even after deeper cut). I would try again, but not for 13$. Overall, good experience, but not a premium price experience.

If you don't know, YOU DONT KNOW. I enjoyed yet another exclusivo last night and wondered if I ever had a bad stick over the last decade of smoking these. It does not matter if it's fresh out the box, from your local retailer, or aged in the humi. This is a damn good smoke with one of the uniquest flavor profiles on the market. It's all been said so I won't say it yet again, all I know is keeping a box on hand is a must!

Short of a few cuban's i've had this is a fine cigar. Outstanding construction, with a great burn and decent ash and a great draw. The flavors of this complex smoke were cocoa expresso, and slightly sweet with a touch of spice. I smoke a lot of cigars and this one is alwayse a joy to light up. I love em'

I bought a few of these to enjoy with the guys on a recent trip to the cabin. I was worried about paying the price per stick. You never know if you are getting a good deal or if you are getting taken. I can promise you, you are getting a fine cigar! The moment you light this piece of art you know you made the right choice. As my friend said as he smoked his Exclusivo on the front porch of the cabin with a drink in hand...." this is the american dream"

The most consistent excellent smoke you will find. Burns so smooth, buttery smoke, the best you will want to find. I bought these online for $10 a stick, I got 20 so I am good for the next year!

Best cigar in the world produced in the last five years. Nothing else to say.

I am a skeptic. I love my partagas, cohibas, diplomaticos, ramon allones. I am a stingy judge. This cigar's wrapper was perfect, not a blemish. It's taste was better than the numerous cubans I have experienced. Rich cocoa, cherry, some espresso, and it burned evenly and cool. These are hard to find, though. Make sure they're authentic. enjoy. I know i did.

As good as it gets. Just simply a great cigar. A must in your humidor. Construction, burn, draw and most of all the taste.

This cigar really delivers everything promised. I just wonder if I should stop looking for the perfect cigar? I might never top this one. I guess it could be cheaper in price.

These are flat out great cigars. You cannot go wrong with this cigar. The stand up to the hype like Lebron. Flavor-wise they are complex, smooth and rich.

Couldn't disagree more with the last review, sorry. I had this in the humidor for about 3 months and lit it up, and simply stated, it was the best non-Cuban cigar I've smoked. Starts toasty, then has complex flavors which I haven't found in NCs..chocolate, expresso, sweet caramel...matched by a perfect burn and easy draw for lots of smoke. Excellent!

A good cigar by any measure, but definately not worthy of all the 9's and 10's its been given. It's a beautifully crafted cigar that feels wonderful in the hand, but it leaves something to be desired once lit. It starts off with a pleasant, toast-like flavor but never goes anywhere beyond that. In addition, some harsh, bitter flavors can eaisly be detected after the 1/3 point. The rough flavors never dominate the experience, but they never go away either. I've smoked two of these now, one down to the nub, and I won't be doing it again unless the price gest cut in half. From now on, I'll just buy two Padron 4000's (a much better smoke) for the same amount!

Laying in a deeply brightened white snow of pleasurable sensation, sorrounded by a flowerly garden that reeks of perfume-like aroma, as I chug down an extremly flavorful exotic Jamaican espresso. Where am I?
I am beyond the boundaries of this dimension, for I am in the world of Padron, enjoying it's warm and happy hospitality that no other brand can offer me.
I am home.....
This cigar, which had a snowy white ash accompany it the entire time, started off with a mellow beany-tangy-espresso like taste that accompanied my palette.
A few seconds later, it exploded into a frenzy of sophiscated tastes that reminded me of every single cigar I have had in my life. Later, it mellowed down into a rosy-like taste...which led me to believe that I was smoking flowers!
This cigar is by far the tastiest...it is an almost erotic experience to smoke this. See what I mean..buy one today

This is possibly the best cigar I will ever smoke. The burn is perfect, there is nothing but smooth full flavor, not a single hint of being harsh. I usually don't spring for anything over $6 but this was worth it 10x over. I'm going to but several more before my local shop runs out. A perfect cigar experience.

This is my second Padron 64 Anniversary cigar. I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said here. Just know this. I am somewhat of a "bargain" smoker. I like a good deal. In fact, some of my favorite cigars are under 5 bucks in price. Normally, an expensive cigar really has to be something special, in my opinion. This one is definitely something special. Superior in just about every way. Flawless. I have kicked myself in the ass several times for being suckered into a high priced cigar, then being disappointed. This time I think I'll pat myself on the back, twice even, since I decided to buy a handful of these.

This was by far the best cigar I have ever smoked. The flavor and smoothness of the cigar makes me want to buy up every box I can. I ended up smoking this for a little over and hour and only ashing it twice! This is by far the finest cigar on the market.

I have about 250 cigars in my humidor at home but bought one of these as a "birthday"smoke. WOW! What a cigar! Flawless and beautiful construction, oily wrapper that is a pleasure to hold, great flavors and it takes a long time to finish. I have a new number one.

A cigar with chocolate to toast tastes, rich smoke, even burn. A fine cigar to sit back and relax.

I just got a box of these from Duke City and decided to smoke one right away. This is yet another 1964 masterpiece. First of all, is there any other cigar on the market that has maintained such excellent quality in construction over a decade? The wrapper is a PERFECT box press, and the wrapper is seemless. (If you want a poor man's comparison get a Carlos Torano 1959 torpedo for about $6.00) Anyhow, this cigar produced two 2/12 inch ashes that burned to the exact shape of the cigar. Tonight in LA, it is quite windy. We all know what happens to a burn in windy conditions. Not with this cigar...Premo burn! The signature cocoa and chocolate flavors were present. Solid draw, and great finish. I gotta give this a 10....even at the price of $10.00 per stick, this is a great value. An experience that would otherwise cost you $20.00+ with other cigars.

This was a great smoke. Based on the reviews on this site I decided to buy a 5'r of these. What a great smoke Well worth the price

After searching for quite some time, found a box of these in Connecticut and let them sit in the humidor for some time. After not being able to hold back any longer opened it up and we'll just say all the talk was definitely correct. I'm still a newbie but I'll have to say that this will be quite hard to beat down from the number one position

Well this is my first 64 and after reading all the hype I let this cigar rest a good 4 months in the humi first . Well the hype was right on the money, this is one fine and highly refined smoke. Perfect construction and burn, nice ash and great flavors of leather coffee and cocoa to mention a few. Very mellow and smooth. But to me it was not better than a aged Cohiba Esplandido. But a hell of smoke none the less, in this case you DO get what you paid for, I will be bying more.

I hated ever reading any reviews prior to torching any stick...Did not want to be bias one way or the other...Then came the 1964...Read all the hype, and found it was not hype...Unreal construction and box press, incredible razor sharp cool burn, complex flavors of coffee, cocoa, and leather, and a finish that leaves you wanting more, with no harshness at all. As good as any Cuban I have ever smoked, including the Cohiba Robusto and PSD4, but just about as hard to come by (I had to search high and low to locate 1964's ). If I can find boxes, these will ALWAYS be a mainstay in my humi.

I had smoked last summer a P64 Torpedo, and found it great. So, I bought a box of these directly at new Padron's HQ in Miami. I choose the darker ones, with those gorgeous dark and oliy maduro wrappers. First smoke, tonight, just after a few days in a new humidor. Despite these less than ideal conditions, I have to say that this cigar is excellent, lots of smoke, lots of flavours (with a dark chocolate overtone), very smooth and almost impeccable construction. A whisker spicy, from time to time, but I totally blame the unsufficient humidor time. I do believe that in 3 months this robusto will be even better, which is, after all, hard to fathom.....Who cares about value, with a cigar like this? Good job, Mr. Padron.

Been marching through the Anniversary line over the past couple of months. This is my fav. so far. Liked the 26 better than the 64 m imperial but this is just as good and lasts longer. For some reason I like the 50 ring gauge in Padrons over the larger sizes. Punched this one and smoked with a a buddy trying the line for first time. These are very refined smokes with a great flavor profile (I call it carmally). Nice.

I must say this is the finest overall cigar I have ever had the pleasure of smoking. A woody start, hints of black cherry and citrus on the tongue. Medium bodied and mellow but some potent flavor as well. IF you find it, try it.

Really an exceptional cigar. Very good burn, attractive appearance, and great flavor. An instant classic among non-Cubans.

After smoking my first 1964 maduro, I had to buy a box. Every cigar in the box (or any Padron, so far) was as good and consistent as the next. Great appearance, construction (perfect medium draw), flavor and as always consistent burn (an occasional re-light but never uneven). With great flavor and never bitter I have burned my fingers on every one. Take your time and enjoy this one. It may be in the more expensive category but worth it. If you find you like this cigar try its more mature cousin, the 1926 maduro No. 6. Aged for 5 years instead of 4 it’s even smoother and more flavorful, with all the same great qualities that come with a Padron.

After paying $12.00 for this cigar, I almost had buyers remourse...until I lit it...Nirvana. Excellent flavor, draw and burn. Smoked it until I just couldn't hold it anymore. Can't wait to try other 64's, but they are hard to find.

I read the review..."better than sex". Fabulous cigar, unquestionably one of the best in the world. As my friend in Colorado said, "It's not better than sex...but it does last longer."
Treat yourself to one.

a good smoke! worth the money true finger burner.

These cigars are expensive! I purchased a box and each one has been excellent. Great flavor, medium to full body with very little aftertaste on the pallet. Well worth the cost!

Wow! This is an expensive cigar (in Canada anyway). Thanks to our ludicrous tobacco taxes this stick ran me almost $50 CDN...but I had to see what all the hype was about. This little beauty did not disappoint. It started light but the flavour quickly bagan to build. The maduro wrapper gives it a mild sweetness and an ever increasing flavour of roasted almonds and pears. The burn was razor straight and produced a beautiful heavy white ash. An easy draw producing thick rich smoke. A true pleasure! Didn't want this one to end. I've had a lot of good Cubans and this baby can definitely hold it's own. I'll be sure to look for them next time I'm in the US.

I had the pleasure of having this cigar on my wedding night. Great cigar, the best that I have had in my short time as a cigar smoker.

I just polished off a Padron Anniversario Exclusivo Maduro from a box I
found at Mike's Cigars during the LHCT II crawl. What
a rockin' cigar!

The wrapper looked a bit dry due to
the age, but the cigar was otherwise a beautiful maduro with the trademark
box press and a flawless cap (for a change.)

Wonderful spicy smoke with a perfect cedar infusion.
This cigar blew the taste meter off the scale with a solid rainbow of
flavors and a sumptuous finish that still lingers a half hour later.
Bravo!

A wee bit of softening at the end
distracted from an otherwise phenomenal burn. Razor straight and perfectly
paced, this cigar epitomized the pinnacle of the torcedor's art. The light
grey ash held tight until tapped and didn't make a mess.

Arguably the best cigar I've had in a year or
two, this example was a pleasure from start to finish. I'm glad there's
more than half a box left, and wonder how much longer these will be at
their peak.

Well, this is a dang fine smoke. I had it tonight while playing pool. Construction was perfect. Burn was perfect, draw was perfect, taste was oh so smooth. Nice complex medium body. I almost cried when it got too small to continue smoking. Knowing I have a box in the humidor made up for it. Not as good as the best Habanos I have tried, but still an awesome smoke.

I finally decided to light it up after 2 months in the humidor. A lot going on in this smoke, different levels of coffee and earth and fading moments of smoothness and spices on the pallet. A very full bodied cigar, it may spin your head if your not careful!! It lives up to it's ratings!!

Wonderful draw, excellent flavor. Introduced a friend in Colorado. Every puff took him to a deeper level of relaxation. Without a doubt, the best cigar I have ever had. Padron's the name...baby. You're worth it.

I was a bit hesitant about smoking this one due to the large amount of great reviews. I was sure to be let down. In no way was I let down. I have no idea how the draw could be better and the burn was impeccable. I nubbed it and it still was smoking cool. It tasted of delicious toasty dark chocolate the whole way through. This cigar is not hype, it's just great.

The Padron family of cigars are unquestionably the finest cigars available today. In three words CONSISTENT - CONSISTENT - CONSISTENT! These cigars are as beautiful, well constructed, and flavorful as they are an excellent value. I just picked up a box for $255 - a little over $10 a stick! $10 for arguably the finest maduro available in the world today. You can't beat that! This cigar burns nicely - even and cool - flavors range from creamed coffee to roasted nuts, but none of the flavors overpower you palate - they are subdued in such a way to tickle your tastebuds to the point of excitement without whelming your senses. I would go into more detail, but smoke one for yourself and without question, you will understand the ratings below.

Incidentally, No cigar is better than sex. You must not be Italian!

As with any smoke, do not rely on just one. Save up some wine(beer) money and select 5 to judge from. Then hide your credit card and quit smoking because you can become a very poor but happy person smoking these. The favor is hard to properly put into words. I find it a requirement to finish my week with at least one of these beauties to put me in the right frame of mind for the week to come.

This is hands down one of the best cigars I have ever come across. So much so that I had to restrain myself when my local smoke shop waived a box of Exclusivos under my nose. For me (because of the price point) this is a special occassion cigar. This is truly a special cigar that everyone should try at least once.

With hints of chocolate and toast, this was one of the tastiest cigars. The burn was impeccable, and as always, the construction was almost flawless. Padron's have yet to disappoint. Although a little pricey, it's well worth the money.

I really enjoyed this one, "It's really a truly great smoke!If you have not tried one, do so you will not regret it.

Almost as wonderful as the 1926 Serie Padróns, but infinitely easier to get your hands on, these are absolutely incredible cigars. It's amazing so much flavor could come from a cigar with so little bitterness/aftertaste. I just wish they were cheaper...

This is a wonderful cigar. The only cigar I like better is the Diamond Crown Maximus.

Excellent cigar but not worthy of the pricetag.

This cigar is amazing. Smooth smooth smooth flavor and burn. Impeccable construction and draw. If I could find these locally I'd buy em all.

Perfect appearance, construction, flavor, aroma, strength and finish. Perfect. Just saving the perfect 10 for the future.

Impeccable construction with a perfect draw. The thick smoke is packed with flavor of espresso and a hint of chocolate. Not overpowering but certainly not mild

Simply the best tasting cigar I think I've ever smoked. Along with the Padron Imperial(M), I think it would be hard to beat these cigars. Great taste, perfect burn, perfect flavors. They are just too hard to get ahold of.

Words cannot describe the greatness of this smoke. Simply a work of divine art, the construction, draw, burn, ash, and taste all provided for a raw and unforgettable experience. FULL-bodied, smooth and complex with notes of coffee, nuts, and cedar exploding from this beauty. My new all-time favorite, 'nuff said! Oh, and they WILL get better with age, so I can hardly wait.

These are delicious!! They have a cocoa taste that just keeps coming. It has an even burn and easy draw. I've tried most of this line and enjoyed them all, but this is the cream of the crop. It's right where it should be in the top five. Look out Cuba!!

Exactly what I expect from the 1964 line. Balance, white ash, and cocoa hints. I lucked out and bought a box for $250. As long as Padron keeps the blend the same I'll keep this one in my humidor.

A beautiful oily box pressed. Unbelievable construction I thought the ash would never fall. Excellent draw considering how firm the cigar is. Perfect burn all the way. Smooth rich complex taste.

What a smoke! Good draw, ash & even burn. This is the benchmark for cigars in my opinion. Shared it with a Grahams 1985 Vintage Port. Very nice combination.

I loved this cigar when it just came out. That was all I used to smoke. The last two boxes were disappointments. It is still a good cigar, but not what it used to be. Very cool, soft smoke with subtle flavors for cedar, nutmeg and leather at the end. Not my cup of tea any more. I grew out of it.

Best series. always perfect. excellent burn very flavorful right down to the nub. will try the imperial or pyramide next. wish they were less expensive.

not sure about size, (they say 50 ring), - whatever. These box-pressed beauties never fail to impress. Only surpassed by the larger Padron Annivs.

Good time smoke great construction and full flavor through the whole gar.

What can I say that hasn't been said already.
IMHO, probably one of the finest pleasures in cigar smoking. Definitely in my Humidor Hall of Fame, and one of the best smokes out there.

This cigar has long been a benchmark for a US cigar market.
Just bought a box production of year 2002. Same consistent construction and appearance - top notch, but flavors became more subtle, overly smooth, though still some hints of spice, nuts and cedar, but with some grassy overtones - well vintage of the crop means a lot. Still a benchmark cigar.

Awesome, simply awsome. Rich long lasting flavor. I have already bought a box. I love the box pressed shape. I am almost ashamed that I have smoked it down to my knuckles on several occasions.

The best cigar I've ever smoked. Top shelf. Only problem is they are too expensive. I wish I could smoke them everyday. Wonderful flavor med to full.Can't say enough.

A beautiful medium bodied cigar that draws very well and burns evenly. Starts out spicy and ends nice and creamy. Hints of nuts and cocoa also. Will enjoy many more...

This has got to be the best all around cigar out there.

This has got to be the best all around cigar out there.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great cigar as are all Anniversario Maduros. However, for the price, I feel each one should be absolutely perfect. This one burned a bit hot at times, unlike the Diplomatico. There was also an uneven burn, not impressive. If this cigar were half the price, I'd forgive the construction issues since the flavor is so good. But at this price, Padron should be delivering a cigar with no compromises whatsoever.

Best one I've smoked. Tastes and smokes great.

This unique looking, dark, handsom cigar provides quiet the smoking experiance. Perfect draw, flawless burn, and a great full body flavor. Get one, smoke it.

A wondeful cigar, but not as good as the Exclusivo in natural. I found the flavor to be somewhat milder than the natural version and a little "smokier" due to the maduro wrapper. Favors of cherry and vague hints of Cuban tobacco permeate this perfectly made cigar.
