Padron 2000 (M)

You wont find a better $3.00 cigar anywhere. I am going to make this my new house cigar that I would be proud to serve anyone.

A cigar that only gets better as it is smoked.

Maduro 2000, excellent aroma & taste that is very satisfing,smooth draw with full body

Reminded me alot of the Padron "Anniversario" Exclusivo

One of my favorite maduros ... I've not had a bad one.

Surprisingly good cigar at any price. Excellent at $3+ each.

Sloppy cap, nice aroma, good taste with some complexity. Slightly lumpy cigar.

If you like them spicy this is your cigar. Not totally extreme, but enough spice if that's your cup of tea. I like this cigar as a change of pace. The burn was near perfect as was the draw. The appearance comes off a little rough, but that just gives the Padron 2000 Maduro some character.

This cigar was an unbelievable bargain. Great flavors throughout, and just a ridiculous amount of smoke with a perfect draw. For the money, you just cant beat it.

Slightly bitter at ignition, it settled down after a half inch into the characteristic Padron pleasantness. Nice complexity of flavors, with cocoa, wood and nutty tobacco fighting for dominance. Slightly sweet & spicy, but not overwhelming. Excellent draw & burn, long creamy finish, medium body & strength. For the price you can't beat it.

A very good... i personally say "Nice!" The price is my country (Malaysia) is RM22 (about $5.8)... Yup, the tax here is very..Very..VERY High! the tax varies from 50-100% to the price of cigar 🙁
Enough about the price, the construction was nice. just the cap is quite 'eye catching', if you know what i mean 🙂 The draw is good.
After lighting up, the cigar started out a bit plain but after it got warmed up, the tastes starts to come around. for me, i did get the woody and creamy espresso like taste... i tried to find the cocoa taste but couldn't get it. but the smoke was great and full of flavour.
I like it for the price and taste. Nice!

These start out pretty rough but then settle down a little bit into an everyday kind of woody Nicaraguan smoke. They're a little bit soft, and nothing special to look at, but for the price they're not bad. With a little effort you can find a smoother full bodied cigar with a similar profile for close to the same price. Without the Padron name I don't think these would get the ratings they do.

At the incredible price of $ 3.6 each (€ 2.5 including Florida tax) this must be the best value cigar in the world, period. 90% of the flavours of the 1964 Exclusivo at 1/3 of the price, this is the real bargain. Cocoa and wood are the main flavour feature, it is reasonably good looking and burns well. What do you want more from life?

I nubbed it very much. Got a deal a while back and they just get better. An Irish malt and a Nic maddie, a combo made in Heaven.

I really want to like this cigar. I generally like Nicaraguan cigars, and the Padron brand is legendary. The size is right, and the price is even better. The reviews are raving, but I don't see what the fuss is about. Maybe the flavor profile is not to my liking, but most of these I have smoked started out harsh and bitter and stayed that way throughout. I get some sweet cocoa-ish taste sometimes, but I have to try hard to feel it. The ash was flaky and the cigar seems to be filled with many soft spots. Maybe all the 2000's I've had in the past two years have been young, but for reviews like this I'd like to smoke something that's good right out of the box. If you're the kind of person that buys a box after reading some reviews, don't. Try a five pack and let them rest. That's what I am going to do next, and will review again.

I have smoked several of these and continue to enjoy each and every one. The looks are a bit plain .... even homely ... and some have some strange little curves, but that doesn't detract from what is in my book a top notch smoking experience. This is a premium I feel lives up to the price. There are cheaper cigars, but they aren't a Padron.

I like this smoke in the morning on the drive into work. Don't expect anything fancy and you won't be disappointed. Smooth, mild and with a little hint of dark chocolate every now and then. The wrapper doesn't stand up to much abuse, so just be gentle with them. I was gifted the ones I have smoked, but the cigar is affordable. A good go-to mild cigar and a compliment to your morning java.

For the money, this is one of the best cigars I've had. I love Padron - they never disappoint. Med-full bodied. Not the prettiest gar on the market, but very flavorful, w/ a nice aroma.

Word to the wise: Leave these out of the Humi for a couple days, as they tend to be a little moist, which gives them an off-flavor and often leads to burn troubles. I put mine in a dried-out, old wooden Cusano 18 box w/ sheets of dry cedar in it. The dry wood sucks the excess moisture out of them in a matter of a couple days. At that point they taste and burn very nicely.

I'm sorry but I've smoked a ton of Padrons in all sizes over the years and I just can't get excited. This one was very mild and bland although there was a distinct dark chocolate taste to it which I appreciated. If they had half as much flavor and complexity as their annivery or 1926 series, they would be an admirable cigar but they don't. Just too ordinary and unexciting. Their prices are very, very reasonable I will say however.

Love these cigars. As always Padron makes another fine cigar.

I've had two of these now, one on a very windy day which meant I got a bad burn going. So I picked up another one today to see if I could come up with a more sympathetic review. Unfortunately, I still had burn problems on a clear, windless day after a light with a nice torch lighter. I am pretty convinced the burn problems were not my fault - and even if they were, I’ve seen a cigar self-correct worse issues than these.

This *is* a pretty cigar: velvety brown wrapper with nice oil. As for flavor, I got a pretty nice combination of earth, leather and cocoa, with an added bit of cedar this time. The problem is that this is a very subtle cigar. Maybe it’s too subtle for me, or maybe I’m just looking for something else. The flavor is very dry, and usually in a maduro I like something a bit stronger, sweeter and / or more peppery. As I got a couple inches into this robusto, I kept expecting a little more oomph or a new flavor or two. No luck. If you’re into mild-to-medium bodied cigars, this might be a great pick, but for me, if I’m going to have a maduro, I’d much prefer something like the C.A.O. Mx2, which is decidedly medium-bodied, but still has plenty of pepper and bitter chocolate to give it some heft.

Not the best looking stick, but what great flavor. Very smooth, minor burn issues, but nothing offensive. It never let's me down. Very dependable, especially if you let them rest in the humi for a few months. Problem is, sometimes I can't wait that long. Recommended

Just burned my fingers nubbing this one, Rustic appearance and great flavor. I much prefer the maddies in this line. The burn and draw are good so all you have concentrate on is the flavor. A very good cigar.

Had to give it a try as the M3000 is my favorite but it definitely fell short of the mark. Probably my first negative review of a Padron but I gotta call 'em as I see 'em.

It took me some time to try these Padrons because they come off as nondescript. But there is a reason for Padron's success. I was dubious after the first 1/2 inch of the smoke because all the flavors seemed to be rushing tha palate at once. However, once I conquered this I was rewarded by a mellowing slow burn. The remainder of the cigar was of medium strength with lots of spice, leather, and toast. Once the flavors settled down the smoke was very enjoyable. The construction was good as always.

Smoked this after a Fuente WOAM last night, and while this cigar didn't meet that high bar, it was a great smoke nonetheless. It burnt really well, was earthy and then leathery towards the end, and is an absolute value at about $3 per stick. For me, it did get a bit harsh and smoked hot towards the conclusion, but this is the only real complaint I have with this stick. Highly recommended.

Bought a 5 pack of these last November. This last one had about 4 months in the humi and the taste really improved over time. Much smoother taste than the others. Great flavor from the start and it builds to the very end. Can't go wrong with these for the price. Have ordered a box.

For the money the cigar is ok at best. The high point was that the cigar simply made smoke, something that pineapple whiteowl can even do.

I was hesitant to try another one of these due to the acidic taste the first one had. However, the one I just finished had a much better flavor and the construction was just as good. I am thinking that the other cigar was either green or was contaminiated in some way at the B&M. A much deepr experience than before.

I really truely feel that the standard padron line cannot be beat when it comes to price. Absolutely fantastic smoke. Perfect draw and burn. Nice flavours. Appearance is not fantastic but I'm not buying a cigar so I can look at it. My only complaint is that alot of the padrons that I smoke have a tendency to stop burning about 2/3 through. Still not a huge problem....just relight and keep going. Excellent cigars.

Great inexpensive smoke and it is a Padron.

love this cigar, can't put it out good from star to finish. a full mouth of smoke with each easy draw.

At 3.3 $ a piece (directly at Padron's factory in Little Havana, Miami) this cigar is incredibly good, will 95% of the flavours of a 1964 series at 30% of the price. Appearance is so and so, but what really counts (construction, flavours) are there. Flavours in particular are great, with that black bitter chocolate twang oh so typically Padron (someone calls it charcoal...)

I did taste the charcoal mentioned before, but it also tasted of the lighter fluid. I've had 1$ cigars that were better in the flavor department. The construction was good though.

this cigar has a charcoal taste like a Sunday barbecue.but this cigar i would enjoy any day of the week.

I bought one of these to try it out, and I love it, now I smoke padrons all the time, I love the taste you get from padrons...I will def plan on buying more of these cigars

Bought a box of these and these are a great smoke! It's got a great draw, medium taste and is ultra smooth. It's rated 88 by Cigar Aficionado and for the price (less than $5 each), it's a real value. Better than some of the Cuban cigars out there. Get some of these.

I just received a box of these, had the first one last night. I found it to be a little mild, but very pleasant, and at just over $2 a stick almost unbeatable. It had an excellent burn, very even, and about and 1.5" ash. Unless it was a fluke these will probably become my regular.

This cigar is absolutely great for the price. It would be difficult to find a better smoke for under $4.00. Heck, this is better than some $10-$15 cigars. I will always have the 2000 m in my humi.

This has a different flavor than most maduro I smoke, but a good flavor. Woodsy, some hints of chocolate, a lot of smoke, good burn and draw. Nice mild-meduim smoke

About 3 years ago, I picked up a single Padron 2000 maduro and enjoyed it on a cold & rainy night standing on our back stoop. I recall it being a particularly nice cigar, but under the circumstances, pretty much anything would have seemed nice.

Well, I was feeling a little reminiscent and had some birthday money in my pocket and picked up a box last week. After sitting in my humi for a week, I finally had the occassion to pull one out and enjoy it. I have to say that it was, frankly, better than I remembered the first one being.

Although the appearance didn't have that same suede texture that I recalled, it did have a nice mild box press and a nice leathery maduro wrapper. As I clipped it, I noticed the construction was very firm and I was worried it might not draw well.

And although it turns out that the draw is a bit tight, it wasn't problematic or annoying at all. I detected a strong initial flavor of coffee with the first-fruit draws, but they quickly mellowed out to a very mild taste. Note: smokers who like a big, bold flavor will probably find this cigar to lack "personality". However, I found that it's personality is a pleasantly mild flavor and a very light, aromatic smoke. Unusual for a maduro, but this makes for a VERY sociable cigar (i.e., I can smoke it around my wife).

The ash was very tight and although the initial lighting did not catch evenly, the burn self-corrected to a very straight and even burn by the end of the first 1/4 inch.

I smoked it down to the band and eventually put it down. It didn't get hot, but it did start to get a little bitter on the last couple of draws.

I am glad I got the 20-box -- apart from convincing me to always have some in my humi, these will be my "social" cigars when we're entertaining. I can offer them to my occassionally-smoking friends without sending them home "green", and I can smoke them around non-smokers without too many complaints.

All in all, a great cigar, a good price, and an enjoyable experience.

The flavor really came out with the maduro wrapper. Well worth the price.

Not a lot I can say beyond all the other reviews--except endorse that the 2000 is a must have in the humidor. Padron makes great cigars and this is one of their finest. Perfect size, slightly firm box press, even draw, razor-like burn. Chocolaty mixed with an even woodiness--almost leathery. Never overpowering but a good even flavor throughout. A staple for sure.

Had it back to back w/ a CAO Braz, which is sweeter, so maybe flavor was skewed, but this was a very nice medium cigar that was pretty smooth. Looked very rough, but who cares. Burned nice and slow, lots of smoke.

The 2000 maddie is my favorite low-priced cigar. Draw and burn are both excellent. Hints of chocolate, coffee. Construction and appearance not as nice as the 64 Anniversary, but decent. It's in the smoke, baby...

this is a very nice smoke.very nice draw,flavor,and burn.this is definetly one of my favorites.flavor never dropped off , stayed consistant through out .would highly recommend.

OK I am biased. I admit it. But come on, Padron's are the best value and best quality anybody could buy. The draw is smooth and easy. I prefer maduros. Very consistent high quality smoke. Nutty and a little on the strong side. Never disappointed.

What can I say I love padrons. I was looking for a robusto shape in a padron maduro. I bought this and smoked it in the shop. Very nice flavor with hint of nuts and chocolate. Great looking toothy and dark wrapper with tons of oil. Put out tons of rich nicely scented smoke and burned for a good hour. Nice ash with a good even burn I'm without a doubt planning to buy a box of these to go with the other padrons that I like to keep on hand.

This cigar is a nice complex 45-60 min smoke. It starts out explosive then mellows out about an inch and a half in. Very nice complex flavors. One of my go to smokes along with PSD4's, and VR Famoso's. It holds up with these, as they all have such a unique flavor profile. The predominent flavors in the 2000 Maduro are Licorice, spice and chocolate. Most consistent smoke I've had.

I too am a Padron fanatic. The latest box of 2000 M's are so different and strong compared to my last boxes, I can hardly believe thet have the Padron name on them. I sure hope this isn't the beginning of decline of one of the most reliable, enjoyable and respected brands. I'm even thinking of trying other brands. Usually, I hate to let go to the point of heat burn to my fingers and tongue. With these sticks, I sometimes don't even get close to the band before I've had all I can take. Geez, tell me it ain't the end.

To me, the maduro 2000 represents power over flavor. I have always liked the Padron 3000 Maduro and thought I would get the same earthy flavor and medium-full body stregnth from the 2000 Maduro. I was wrong. The 2000 is definately in the strong smoke category. I think fans of Partagas Black and similar cigars will like the maduro 2000. It's too strong for me. This suprised me since the 3000 is a larger cigar. Why the difference in flavor is a puzzle to me. My 3000s were from an older production. Is it due to a change in tobacco blends, size difference? I can't tell. As most know, this is a quality cigar. Just not my taste.

I am a Padron freak. If I were stuck on a desert island with with one cigar brand it might be Padron (or maybe Toraño, maybe ERDM or..maybe .. well it does't matter). I love em. Smoke the 4000s (maduro) and the occasional Aniversary. picked up a 5 pack of 2000s and lit the first one-- what happend? chemical taste? Young tobacco? Not aged much at all? Don't know. I just know it wasn't very good. I'll let the other ones sit.

What can you say about a cigar that stick after stick you get the same, consistency is a trademark of Padron's. The 2000 is no different. Third box this year, I smoke quite a few cigars a week and a 2000 always makes it into the rotation. Razor sharp burn and excellent draw everytime. Hints of chocolate in a nice maduro wrapper. Great cigar..

Tasted mild to me, don't see it as medium. the second ash smoked the best with a little cocoa flavor coming in. Tasted like paper though also. Good construction, good value.

This cigar has an impressive draw. I was very surprised by the smooth flavors off the first draw. I think I'll make sure I always have at least a few of these in the humidor.

Here's another hit from the padron line. My experience with this one is when it first starts up you can really taste the chocolate and spice in it till you finish one inch of it. Afterwards, it mellows down to a rich smooth smoke that lingers. This cigar have minimal after bite. It also changes flavor on the 2/3 mark and another change 2 inches left. I smoke this with a little les than an inch left and it was not hot (bitter) at all. I would have gave this a higher rank if only this padron did not go out on me three times. Thus, I gave the construction a 7. Anyhow, Overall for what it cost is less than what it's worth!

I am admitting my bias for this cigar, it is one of my top 3 favorites. This is the cigar that provides everything that is good about smoking cigars. 1. Rich, complex wood and coffee. 2. Not a long lasting cigar, just right. 3. Great value and is better with age.

Bought a box for $65 at smokeall.com! Smoked one tonight with a Firestone Double Barrel Ale, sitting in the backyard with the dogs, listening to Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin....life is good.
A 40 minute vacation of dark chocolate, plumes of smoke, and coffee. Same basic flavor profile as the 1964 Padrons, minus the complexity (and price). Can't figure out why these are so cheap, but I won't complain.

awesome smoke. consitant from beginning to end. great amounts of chocolate and coffee throughout and finished with a bit of spice. definately a nubbber. unbelievable for the price. there is definately a box of these coming soon.

Big fan of Padrons...any line for that matter...this actually started harsh but smoothed out considerably. Very enjoyable smoke...goes great with coffee brightened with some Kalua

An amazing smoke with strong qualities to a cuban. My everyday smoke. And that's saying alot.

A good, driving size, cigar. Unfortunately, I found the cigar didn't burn evenly from outside to inside, so the end would form a cone and the ash flake off from that. Too messy for driving. Flavor is Padron, always nice. I should let the others sit for a while.

For the little you pay for this cigar, it certainly offers much. I am forever an admirer of Padron construction and consistency. This cigar is pretty full-bodied, but with no harshness. Perfect draw, perfectly straight ash, cool and slow burn- I find very few cigars match the Padron quality. The taste is quite similar to the 3000 series- woody with a few cocoa and spice notes. Recommended.

Great Padron flavor, construction, draw and burn. For less than $3.50 an incredible bargin.

I won't describe the particulars. I will only say I smoked it til my fingers burned. Great, great maduro. Get one now!!!

A great value for the money. spicy,woodsy to cocoa to creamy flavors all in a wonderful smoke.

This stick was every thing that you look for in the Padron cigar taste construction did I say taste, well the notes were smooth and woodsy in flavor with a temperate spice. The hallmark of a cigar is its taste and finish and the Padron has set that benchmark, and given the smoker a excellent smoke. A must try stick.

Let's face it, this cigar just looks delicious and begs to be smoked. The first taste is rather strong but then burns evenly into this creamy smoke with an outstanding draw. Just a word of advice, be ready to brush your teeth after your done with this one.

What the Padron series lacks in "packaging", it more than makes up for in quality and taste. Perfect draw and burn, a bit of a spicy start and then flavors ranging from earthy to slightly cocoa. At the going price, a nice box to add to the humidor for an every day type smoke. An excellent value!

The cap on this cigar was very well made which is noteworthy because in my experience Padrons typically have poor caps. All construction aspects were good. Nice finish. Wood and earth flavors.

I still will give this one high marks based on all the great ones I've consistently had; however, beware! The unthinkable has happened! I got a plugged Padron. Not unsmokable, but a very tight draw. Anyone else lately?

Well smoking one of these right now and it is the first one of these I have had. Strong start with cocoa and spice, mellowing out into a toasty and somewhat oaky taste like strong coffee. Very strong and pleasant aftertaste on the palat. Mine burnt perfectly straight and true with a decent ash. Over all a very enjoyable smoke.

The construction on this gem is excellent, with a robustly cocoa and spicy start. After a bit it turned toasty and oaky with a medium intensity and stayed that way past the band. Excellent value, excellent burn, definitely worth buying more!

Had one of these the other day. Great Puro. Mine burned well and had a great taste. Lots of thick smoke. I have been pricing a box of these for my humidor!! Highly recomended.

This is my second favorite Padron (just behind the 1964 Exclusivo for $12.00) For the money, the 2000M is hard to beat. Great flavor and burn...just doesn't last quite long enough. This is my go to cigar.

I received these around a month ago and was tempted to enjoy one right away but I forced myself to hold back and let them age and stabilize a little more in my humidor. The cigar had a slightly oily, medium-dark brown wrapper and overall looked quite attractive. Usually I prefer a longer cigar (i.e. the padron 3000, my current favourite) but decided to give these a try. It was a pretty solid smoke without any noticeable soft spots or lumps that took away from the overall appearance - though the cap, like many other padrons, was poorly made. There was also the tiniest crack about 2/3 up the body of the cigar from the foot but I disregarded that at first. Upon lighting the cigar, the first puff was a tad bland but the second truly delivered. It had that classic Padron taste with rich, earthy notes and I even detected slight, very slight, notes of very dark coffee - perhaps burnt a little. It was a really smooth smoke and wasn't harsh at all, even until the end - though the flavours did becomes more robust. This cigar was moderately powerful to the throat and some puffs were like taking gulps of liquid smoke. Hmm one concern. The little crack I mentioned earlier actually a big crack as I smoked this cigar (it swelled and softened a little). It didn't affect the flavour too much but it was distracting and visually unappealing. Personally, this was quite an enjoyable smoke but I definitely prefer the 3000 of this one. BTW, there was a slight aftertaste - tolerable but not the best ever.

Nice cigar, but not a great burn, fairly uneven and had to fight it the entire time. The smoke was smooth and good, great construction and taste, but not as full bodied as I expected. Towards the end was still good, but the burn really distracted me.

Started out quite nice, fairly peppery initially. Mellowed out to a very pretty maduro 15 minutes in. Pretty nice construction--wrapper looked quite appetizing and came through. Good amount of smoke--not an easy draw, but far from difficult--quite rewarding, in fact. A very well balanced, well rounded, full cigar. And with the price? Legendary.

The cigar showed a dark and oily maduro wrapper, but the slightly misshapen and lumpy stick felt dry and papery to the touch. It had a springy roll and looking at the foot revealed a nice mixture of filler tobaccos. Typical to Padrons, the cap was loosely attached, peeled away very easily and slipped under the cutter. The band was simple brown print on glossy paper.

A waft of burned waxed paper and a spicy bite at the first puff, but that was just a quick taste and then the real flavor punched through. Tasted good, with a hint of Virginia pipe tobacco and some green – like spruce. The cigar was full bodied and powerful, but a raw edge gave the impression of a narrow band of flavor. Lots of smoke boiled forth and the aroma was crisp and festive, like an exotic bazaar, spicy and fresh. The finish had a slightly sour note similar to pipe bite, but not too bad. The even and well paced burn was excellent.

Accompanied with a glass of ice water, this Padron lacked the complexity of the 2000s I smoked just a couple of years ago. However, towards the end I did get a more powerful impression of mocha and toasted coffee which made it end on an up note. Easy to smoke with a nice draw and a good feel.

Overall this was a good, well turned out Nicaraguan cigar. Not awesome, but respectable. Not quite as complex as I’d have liked to see, but a very good value for the money. Recommended.

well don, a ave expeced and received from 99.9% of all past Padrons....chocolateand gingerbread loose dra, burns hot at thenub, only drawbacks but padron trademarks. Got 5 spankng new 6000's --heads up these are new Torpedo's in the regular line. Theyappear to be 5.25-5.5 by 52-54, and cost me 6.75 apiece, but I got a free on extra for being a good customer. These rule, but don't quite beata 5000.

Bautiful looking robusto with chocolate colored maduro wrapper. One very fine vein. Toasted the foot well and it sparked up easily and evenly. Draw was perfect, all the way down. Burn was perfect as well. Nice smooth light gray ash that linked to hang around. Taste was medium with some maduro character, billows of smoke. Padron's maduro wrappers are the epitome of understated excellence without the harsh edge I get from some other manufacturers. Paired up very well with a porter. Box buy you bet.

Padron is just plain consistent. This one reminds me of the Delicias a bit--but is a good medium strength smoke. Hints of chocolate after halfway through. Well built--even burn--not too slow. Overall, nothing to get thrilled about but solid.

Well constructed and a great everyday smoke that never lets me down. Lots of flavor, perfect draw and burn. With the price its hard to resist.

I truly believe that when in comes down to "bang for the buck" this is hands down the best cigar out there. It is always my 'go to' cigar. I have 2 boxes of these in my humidor right now.

Badly done cap, somewhat loose draw and gets very mushy as it's smoked. But it also has very good flavor and at less than $2.50 each makes a good every-day quick smoke.

Others have had me try several brands of cigars, all reputed to be "good. Continually, as a relaxing, full smoke, the Padron 2000 is the best price/value. The only thing better than a Padron...is another Padron

this cigar has a very distinct and particular smoke. most of the cigar taste like peper. my friend hates peper so he did not like it that much, personally i think that this cigar is among the best for his price.

When my Padron 2000 Maduros first arrived, I couldn't wait to smoke one. The first was very good, but I thought I'd let the rest age a bit before passing judgment. Now, they've grown to be an excellent smoke. Upon first light up, I got a strong hit of flavor, like knocking back an espresso in one gulp. Not the full coffee flavor, per se, but a full blast of great, strong flavor. After about half an inch or so, it transitioned into light pepper/spice for a while, then came back to a light but distinct toasted coffee flavor with traces of sweetness, staying consistent all the way down to the nub--never a trace of bitterness or harshness. Burn and draw were both excellent, with a strong ash as well. The appearance is quite nice, although not quite as perfect as the Padron Anniversaries I have in the humidor. But then the 2000 costs only about a third as much. With a 50 ring, this is a touch bigger than I prefer. I have a fistful of Maduro Padron Delicias aging in the humi, and at a ring size of 46 they are my preferred size. I hope they turn out to be just as good. If they aren't, the 2000 will convert me to the ranks of Robusto smokers.

nice, affordable smoke. Better than some priced 2x more. slightly uneven burn, good draw, full, cocoa flavor.

6 months in the humidor really knocked any rough edges off this cigar.I had one today and the draw,burn and ash were perfect as usual.But the flavor was even better and it was smoother than the 1926 I had recently!It was almost as good as the "1964 Exclusivo Maduro"!

Good mild cigar with a toasty flavor. Burned unevenly though, and I had to re-light it a couple of times. Still a good inexpensive cigar.

Why pay five times as much, worry about customs, plugged cigars and fakes when you can get a nice, chocalatey, perfect-drawing and right but not too strong Padron that smokes perfect and is always available at your local tobacconist for 3-4 dollars a pop? a great smoke and value!

For the money, this cigar provides more bang for the buck than anything out there. Wonderful pre-light aroma leads to a full cocoa taste. As with all Padrons, this cigar is always the same-terrific! Highly recommended.

Nice construction with a good draw and burn. Started off a little dissappointing but hit it's stride about halfway through.

I start drooling thinking about smoking one of these. Best smoke for the money. Period!

Just as good as its big brothers but in a half hour smoke.

I liked this robusto, had a dark, oily wrapper with a clean draw, only complaint was some canoeing midway through.
Started out a bit harsh, but soon mellowed out and became a fine smoke, with a sweet flavor, and a creamy undertone. Another winner from Padron

this cigar is all that the padron line is noted for, beautiful wrapper, construction and flavor , if I could afford it it woudl be my everyday smoke, flavor is smooth and the flavor reminds me ( a little anyway ) of that cuban zest.

Feel and look great. Construction's only problem lies in the cap as all these seem to share. Flavor fantastic, starts out kinda quiet and assuming and then turns very spicy very quick. Medium body. I only rate this cigar so high because this is probably among the best 2 or 3 cigars I smoke and it's under 4 bucks if you buy by the box. Just spectacular value. A wonderful overall experience that makes me a hardcore fan of padron's. If you like nicaraguan tobacco at all this is probably the best. If you like super strong cigars you'll probably like a cuban better. But give it a go, it's awesome.

Every cigar I had was excellent, this is my favorite. Great white ash, a very "good looking" cigar, and the taste is spicy and lasts till the end, doesn't turn bitter towards the end like most. If you haven't tried this one, you are missing out.

I love this cigar. Great taste, perfect size and shape. A cigar that I really enjoy and the price is outstanding. I have smoked cigars at twice the price not as good as this one.

What a great smoke for $4.00! Perfect draw, lots of smoke, although the cap was a bit cracked. Medium bodied with a nice coffee flair and a slow, slow, slow & even burn.

Nice ash. Easy draw (almost too easy). Cap was a little rough but overall a great smoke. Will enjoy smoking again.

Great cigar, particularly for the price. Construction can be a bit inconsistent (although caps are pretty consistently sloppy-use a punch). Burn, draw and taste are terrific. Hints of cedar, coffee and vanilla make this a taste treat. I have a few to the nub.

Nice med flavored cigar. can't get enough of this one.

Individual cigars from same box inconsistently made. Cap kept fraying. Draw was good. Flavor harsh at start. Grew milder. Burned evenly. Taste rather uneventful. Good daily smoke.

Good construction, a tight draw, but not too tight, even burn, and good taste. A very good cigar for 3.50, but doesn't compare to the Anniversary series.

Top notch burn,const and lots of flavor,med to full .Will have to buy a box.Great smoke for 3.50 bucks

An excellent smoke for the money. If you can't get your hands on a Padron Anni., these will do just find. Hard to go wrong with this Primo name.

One of the first cigars that I bought when I began smokling cigars, the Padron 2000 maduro was a favorite. The cigar is just an all around excellent cigar that burns well, exhibits complex flavors of chocolate and coffee, and finishes nice. Nothing bad to report!

This cigar is well constructed, burns evenly, ash held on for 1 1/2" to 2" without taking any special care and was nice and white, with great draw. Nice med/full flavors...great smoke for the money!

Top notch construction, slow very even burn, strong flavor with prominent cedar. A good cigar at any price and great for 3 bucks.
