Review Notes: I rate by flavor. For Padron, I like maduro better than natural. the maduro line is definitely not as good as 1964, but still great (top 10% of 150 brands smoked). They are a lot cheaper than 1964's, too. I would rate flavor as a great start, an 8 for 1st 3rd and 2nd 3rd. Final third is great flavor. Because of price, this is in regular rotation and 1964 is special occasion. A good reference, ie, is the cigar you are trying equal, better or lesser than a Padron maduro? Padron construction is my favorite, it's just great to me, not sure how they do it.
