Review Notes: 1st 3rd: I paid $33 for this? Construction to die for (name a Padron Anniversary without awesome burn/draw)...But where's the beef? 2nd: that Padron flavor begins to assert itself, but seems too timid. Have I become too jaded? I must agree with borndead1's review. 3rd: Smoked it down to 1", did not get much better. A good (not great) $15 cigar. Go for the 1926 40th for this money.

Review Notes: Perfectly creased box pressed lines. Solid as a rock construction, only flaw (sarcasm) being that the ash flaked off every half inch or so. After a few initial puffs, there is just as much smoke coming out of the head as the foot. Pretty much razor sharp burn. Clipped about a sixteenth of an inch off the head. Starts off with a very peppery rich tobacco taste that hits the pallate all over. After the first ash a coffee and sweet nutty taste develops. Every puff has a long persistent finish. The rest of the cigar I paired it with an Oregon Pinot Noir which smoothed out the pepper. This cigar forces you to draw on it gently, otherwise smoke will be coming out of your ears. Rest of the way just laid back and enjoyed a sip of cigar and then a sip of wine and vice versa. Finished off down to a quarter inch with a smooth woodsy/spice combo. Maybe one puff from the whole cigar had even the slightest tinge of bitterness.

Review Notes: Smoked thus cigar and enjoyed every minute of it. Awesome flavors.. burned evenly and the cigar improved as one smoked it. Heavenly flavors of toast, earth and coco bean. Later the cigar develop a spicy full bodied flavor that was smooth and creamy but not overpowering. The price was too high and intimidating.

Review Notes: This is honestly the best cigar I've had. So creamy so smooth and elegant all at the same time. An absolute pleasure to smoke and if I could afford them I would smoke them much more often. "You get what you pay for" and this smoke defines that statment. A must try

Review Notes: I smoked this cigar on my 50th Birthday. Since I now have more days behind me than ahead of me.If This cigar is any indication of the future I'm going to die on the French Med. Coast with an endless supply of French brodeaux and a beautiful 21 year old model with legs 4 ft long on my arm. Great cigar probably the best. Sometimes good quality is priceless.
