Review Notes: The construction and consistency alone of these sticks merits a high rating, the flavor and aroma puts them over the top! I took a bunch of pics of smoking this stick, they can be viewed on my profile in the forums section, if anyone cares... Even after an uneven light, the cigar quickly corrected my mistake and burned perfectly the entire rest of the way! Name another sharply box-pressed maduro wrapped cigar that can do that! The flavors were so complex I had a hard time deciphering them. The first 3rd was tangy, almost citrusy, with a smooth spice similar to CCs, changing to a smooth cocoa and coffee flavor with some nutty notes after the 1st ash dropped. The last 3rd followed step, but grew in intensity and the spice made a nice comeback. The citrusy notes were present every now and then throughout. The aroma was heavenly, of sweet cocoa and espresso, earthy notes and spices. All subjective to my palate, of course, but I'm sure you get the point! Smoked it down to a nub and was fully satisfied. Well deserving of it's stellar reputation and priced as a bargain compared to other cigars in it's league, IMHO. (Only CCs can match the sheer complexity and balance of PAs, to my palate.) This one had about 3 yrs age on it, and I am going to force myself to buy a box and sit on some and see what some real aging does to these wonderful cigars. HIGHLY recommended.

 Review Notes: These always taste flat as a pancake to me. thin body. I wouldn't pay $5 let alone the asking price. Maybe these used to be a good cigar, but certainly not now.

 Review Notes: I have had better but I can't remember when. They used to be better priced, I guess the word got out.

 Review Notes: Burned like a champ from start to finish, even though it was hanging out my car window for half of the burn time. Started mellow and thickened up by the end. Well built, one of my favs. You must try this stick.

 Review Notes: Amazing smoke. Cocoa, leather, spice, coffee, nuttiness, and a sweet cegar finish. Perfect burn, perfect draw. Leave it to the Padrons.
