Padron 1964 Anniversary SI-15 Natural

image This is a special edition 6×60 cigar produced by Padron exclusively sold through Smoke Inn to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Smoke Inn. It is an extremely limited production cigar likely to sellout in a matter of weeks after it goes on sale in the middle of April, 2011. This is the natural, a twin to a maduro version also released at the same time with equal scarcity. It offers a medium brown wrapper with a soft buttery feel, the color being a bit splotchy in areas. It has minimal veins, tight invisible seams, an even slightly spongy construction and a very mild cedar and tobacco scent. First light reveals medium-full body flavors of a very peppery, dry tobacco with a good bit of spice on the long finish. Smoke output is thick rich and very voluminous, with a loose easy draw. The first third bring big earth and pepper flavors with a smooth tobacco core and deep long finish. 35 minutes in near the end of the first third it transitions, going down to a medium body with still a smooth tobacco core but bringing a nice cream in replacing the earthiness and much of the pepper. 45 minutes in starting the 2nd third flavors change to a big cream and licorice kick with undertones of the smooth tobacco. 1:20 in the last third begins pulling all the previous flavors together in one smooth blend. The body is back up to medium-full but with no strength kick unlike it’s maduro twin had. Ending at 1:45 where it got too hot for me, the last bit showed no further changes. http://cigarobsession.com/cigar-reviews/padron-1964-anniversary-si-15-natural-cigar-review/

    nice review. The prices on these are high. I haven't watched your video yet as I'm at work however how would you compare these to say the family reserve 46/45 or the 80th maddy? I'm curios as with these prices it's almost as high as the ones I mentioned.

    Actually the price point on these sticks works out to $18/stick, quite a bit lower than the others...considering the ring on this stick there doesn't seem to be any markup on the limited release factor of it in comparison to pricing on the standard Padron 64 anny pricing, The imperial would be the closest in vitola and goes for $14 or $15/stick so more tobbacco equates the increased price...

    Thanks Diamond.. I know though for the amount and such 277 isn't too high though I'm just a cheap-ass.

    I wish they had those two pack with both wrappers for sale. I'd buy two. I hate paying 92 bucks for 5 cigars that I haven't had and all the same wrapper.. oh the decisions.

    I was thinking the same thing Pheebs. I would damn sure jump on the 2 pk to try one of each, even though the size really doesn't excite me much. I am not a fan of huge ring gauge cigars, but I do love Padrons.

    You know... if your interested I'd be down for getting a 5er of one wrapper if you do the same of the other and maybe would could trade out 2 or something?

    I would say these are like having really big x000 cigars with a little more complexity. Not as flavorful or as powerful as the other limiteds or even normal anniversary blends but long smoke time.
