Review Notes: I could not believe that this tiny thing lasted me well over an hour. This one was aged 2 years b/f my brother gave it to me. Burn was a little uneven, but slow and cool. Ash was salt n' peppary like the other Anniversarios and held on for about 1.5". Not bad for a cigar only 4.5"! The draw was firm but smooth via bulls-eye punch. Beautiful milky, tan, oily wrapper. Flavor started off a little bitter, (may have been from match-light). Finish very Earthy and woody. At about 1/3 started getting floral notes and sweet cedary spice. Still am not tasting the chocolate some raters speak of, but perhaps a tinge of nutmeg. The only cigar this small that packed such a punch was the little Opus X. Only ashed 2x through entire smoke. The finish in the last 1/3 left a tingy numbness in my mouth. Definitely a top performer. Smoked this till I needed a roach-clip and was burning my fingers! Since I was given these, I will base value rating on MSRP.

Review Notes: Flavor. Impressive in every category. Beautiful construction. Complex flavor profile. Balanced. Spicy...but not over the top. Very enjoyable...and worthy of the accolades. I am suspicious of a reviewer who would rate this cigar a 3!!!!!! Are you kidding me? Even if you like a different character of cigar...how you could rate this quality of Cigar as an "In Law Gift" is beyond comprehension...sounds like someone has an axe to grind. Yet, the same reviewer gave the Cubans near perfect scores...I have Cuban Siglo 2s in my humi and these are better. Liberal media, I guess...but don't listen to the haters. Try one...you won't be disappointed.

Review Notes: Over-rated - might make the top 100, but no where near the top of all

Review Notes: these cigars never disappoint...consistently one of the best cigars in the world period. this is a very enjoyable slow burning little cigar. the flavor changes throughout regardless of the size...there is also differences i've notice from box to box some are stronger other more mellow even sweet.

Review Notes: okay...I've been a collector and smoker of cigars for a long time, but for a while lately, it was mostly ISOMs, (what a tool) and not until the last 18 months have fallen in love with the '64 Series. (more so than Serie 1926 in more instances than you'd think) and had smoked through a chunk of the line, received this box last week...having never tried a Principe, either Maduro or Natural, and I am SO glad I chose the Natural, because this current batch is what only they could sort as a 'Natural" wrapper. It's darker than any Cuban E.L. wrapper of late, and you know how dark some of those can get, but this was very dark and supremely supple, and seemed veinless. I would compare it only to an Opus X Double Corona I smoked recently. Both that and this were so oily that these sort of small 'oil slicks' appeared off and on throughout the smoke. The taste of this cigar was incredible. I hate to use the same analogy as I did for another Padron I reviewed, but it was quite an experience to smoke the small cigar and know that it would still be a star if all it had was the incredible depth of it's tobacco flavors to compete with. The slight floral/cedar notes in the beginning, the spiciness that is just perfect and the superb wood notes throughout the second half worked in perfect harmony to still allow the tobacco to be up front. Please do yourself a favor and try to get gold of some of these brilliant cigars while they're still affordable...I have given out 2 other 10's the whole time I've been a member, and this will be my third (BTW as of right now, there is a large amount of inventory out there right now, and I must say that these recent and current Padron '26 and '64 have been superb, while Opus X gets harder to find, more expensive, while they make so many more cigars each year then these guys...I believe that the cigar I just smoked will be labled as a 'classic' in the future.)
