Review Notes: This is one fine cigar. Starts out real spicy, then mellows out quickly while maintaining a peppery undertone. Nothing but straight-up flavor in this stick, which is a plus for anyone who is sick of trying to decide weather they are picking up "notes" of German cocoa or "hints" of roasted Columbian coffee bean on the finish of their cigars; because you won't have to worry about that with this smoke. I'd love to hear someone try to over-describe this cigar. Anyway, this is a great smoke, and the price is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Review Notes: Padrons are my favorite, and these are quality smokes from the less-expensive Padron series. got a box for about $90, but was initially disappointed in the first impression of the cigars, probably due to the rough handling and shipping and lack of humidification during storage/shipping. The caps were all about to fall off, and therefore had to use centerpunch. Initially tasted harsh and sour after lighting, but when allowed to mellow for 2 mins, it tasted wonderful. Great, bold flavor all the way through, and lasted about 1 hour. Ash is light grey, and tastes of chocolate and coffee. Smoked until 1.5 inches left, and turned very sour once the smoke got hot. Overall, excellent price, and an excellent smoke for a non-cuban. Padron has another winner on my list.

Review Notes: This cigar looks nice, has excellent draw, and good construction. Almost no veins on the wrapper. Cap comes off easily. Wrapper started to unravel a very tiny bit in one place. This one starts off VERY full-bodied and very peppery. Starts to mellow slightly after an inch or so. Tastes mostly of pepper with a touch of Padron spice. This one was just a bit too full-bodied for me, and way too peppery. If you like pepper you'll probably like this alot. Quite a nicotine kick.

Review Notes: The cigar has a viney velvety wrapper. It was a bit hard to clip (suspect it¡¦s because of the cutter), good cap, and pre light draw has a hint of pepper. It is easy to light, which is not at all surprising. Draw is a bit loose, has a rich woody taste and pepper, hints of cedar, spices, cocoa, earthy and a light touch of sweetness. Draw becomes smoother after it passes the first third. The cigar has a dry finish, and the taste is consistent throughout the cigar. Ash is gray and firm. It burns a little bit uneven, and burns slow. Seems like it lacks something comparing to the 3000 maduro, but it's equally good.

Review Notes: Peppery flavor with some flat woody undertones. It maintains it's peppery flavor right down to it's sharp finish. Salt and pepper ash was strong and long lasting, which gave away it's good construction, which was held togother by a slightly toothy wrapper.
