Review Notes: When I purchased this cigar my initial thoughts were that it wasn't particularly good looking; but for the price it would be worth giving a shot. The main aroma is leather but has hints of coffee. Upon lighting the first few draws could be described as rough, but once past that it had a very consistent and enjoyable medium body. I've had cigars that cost three times as much struggle to compare to this cigar. This relatively unimpressive looking cigar was a very impressive smoke.

Review Notes: The Padron 3000 is my favorite of the X000 line. It consistantly delivers. What it lacks in appearance, it delivers in taste. I would consider it medium to full bodied. The main ingredient is leather, getting creamier as the smoke goes on. Highly recommended!

Review Notes: A little harsh to light up, and a little spicy. Smooth easy draw and good burn with a solid ash. Died on me once, but not a problem. Middle part of the smoke was most enjoyable. Ended with overly strong flavors. If you like stronger spicy cigars you will like this one. A little much for me. Will try again after aging a bit.

Review Notes: After 6 months in my humi, This cigar from the same lot was MUCH better! Strong, but very smooth. I will buy these again, but cure them in the box for a while.

Review Notes: During the pre-smoke the first thing you notice about this cigar is that it isn’t your typical beauty, but don’t let that fool you. Aside from that, the wrapper gives off some nutty flavors and the foot smells strongly of coffee and coco. Another note about the construction is the absurdly small cap which is placed on this cigar, sometime in the final third mine fell off. It didn’t cause any problems but it is something to note before performing the cut. Lighting up the cigar you are greeted with a nice mixture of spice and nuttiness. Throughout the duration of the smoke nuttiness is the prominent flavor, with a nice mix of other flavors. In the final third I was hit with a stronger flavor of coffee which I had been expecting due to the strong coffee and chocolate flavors of the foot. The burn of the cigar is phenomenal with a razor sharp burn and a sturdy ash. It produces a massive amount of creamy smoke which stems from its loose draw. The draw may be looser than some prefer but it didn’t cause me any problems. Overall I would say this stick is above average, but when you consider the low price it moves up a level in my book. The Padron 3000 is a cigar which doesn’t present many complexities but it is extremely consistent and well built. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys a solid cigar; it would be great for an occasion such as a round of golf or a cookout when your focus may be on other things.
