Review Notes: The padron 5000 has been my everyday smoke for quite sometime. I find that for the price, this cigar to be consistantly a fantastic cigar with overtones of spice and cocoa just like the entire Padron line that rarely dissapoints. A consitant flavor and burn from beginning to end

Review Notes: ...even because I have run out of 5000, and I am not buying a new box. Well, like the old car you're trading in that works magnificently on its last week with you, this last 5000 was the cream of the crop. Great flavors, a lot of smoke and even acceptable construction, although nothing to write home about. Just a little free advice to Jose Padron: get the quality control right on the 5000, and you have a winner!

Review Notes: Well, again on the P 5000 saga...this one has been aging four months in the humidor, same box as the ones rated before (see my comments). This time, flavour was very good, sweet but not bland, creamy. Construction though was appalling: a veiny leaf was a constant nuisance through the smoke, ashes were a nightmare, the combustion ring was very uneven and the 5000 couldn't stay lit after first half. All in all valuable smoke, but hindered by flaws not compatible with Padron's image. Maybe the roller in Nicarague was thinking to something else THAT day....

Review Notes: Well, my first one was not so good, bitter and harsh. The other ones from the same box have been definitely better, even if always on the bitter side, but more pleasingly so. All in all, quality for the 5000 seems inconsistent, much more so than for other Padron product. I re-rate the 5000, but inconsistency is an issue.

Review Notes: Cigar was a little bitter at the start. Got to some really good flavor about half way. Nice even burn. My buddy hated his, burn was horrible, and really bitter. Very odd, they were from the same box??
