Padron Palmas (M)

sweet coffee flavor
draw was too easy (hot at the end)

Stunning Aniversario. Needs some time in the box.

Not the best looking but one of the best for the price if you are on a tight budget.

Occasionally some good flavors, mostly not. Not on my to buy list. Good construction, draw, and burn. May have needed more aging.

The cigar looked good: medium brown- a bit light for a maduro wrapper. Not lmpy, loose, tight, no abundance of veins. Typical Padron quality.

Immediately, I was taken aback by the high amount of spicy taste. I couldn't taste anything but dirt, and that continued throughout the smoke.

I felt obliged to smoke it to see if anything emerged, but I ditched it wityh abuot 2 1/2" left. Not enjoyable, especially for something that cost over $1. I was let down by the cigar.

I will have to think long and hard prior to buying another Padron.

I bought this cigar for $2.50 at a local News-stand/cigarshop. The appearance was a little rustic, but I liked the little curly-cue head. Turned out to be a medium-bodied, smooth, mellow smoke, with some notes of cocoa and coffee bean. It was perfect for being at a picnic in the park on a scourging summer day. If you can get these at about $1, which you probably can on cigarbid, I would say this is a good, reliable everyday smoke...as all the Padron regular line smokes are. They are also great to hand out to friends who are not Aficianados. Good even burn, good draw, good balance.

I paid 5 bucks for this one! When I came on and saw the average price paid, I'm a bit upset...lesson learned I suppose. The cigar wasn't bad, but I kept thinking the whole time, "Ok where's that Padrony goodness??" It never fully delivered. Bland, kind of dirty tasting, a little harsh. You could smoke a Fuente curly head maduro and get the same type of smoke.

awesome for the price

Full flavor. Construction was wanting due to loose cap. Draw was too easy. Burned very hot.

this tasted like dirt! Period! Worst Padron I've every had and I'm a Padron Fan.
Will not be smoking another.
