Well, I'm a huge Padron '26 Aniversary fan, and if you rate this one that high, I'll just have to get some of them. Problem is, they'll just sit in my humidor and stare back at me, 'cause I'll have to have a special occasion to light one up!. Thanks for another great review, Rip.
Thanks David. I also regret not having this cigar more and now I cannot buy anywhere with 2-3 years of age. Aging makes a huge different with Padron. It is not a everyday cigar but I do highly recommend it. I believe this is a very special wrapper and that makes the difference. The smoke is very light compares to any other Padron natural. In fact, it is completely a different Padron Natural wrapper. I will do some research about it. Sometime cigar maskers do not tell us the true source of tobaccos.

Good to know rip!! I have one from tony I put in the aging humi... I was gonna light it up soon but if you say rest it I'll rest it. And to rain the 64 and 26 are different... Not 10% different until you get in the family reserve and the other special batches. The 64 is milder than the 26 but I haven't had a padron I wouldn't buy again and again!!
It's a natural and I'm not sure the age but I got it a few weeks ago...I sealed it up with some 80th's and fr45's I figure ill sit on them for a while if I can hold off lol

Hey Lee, I don't know the age on that stick either. I received it in a sampler of high-end Padrons from a guy on OLH. So chances are it has some age, but I'm not sure.
Usually I purchase the maduro '26. If it were a candy bar, it would be a very dark semi-sweet mocha expresso chocolate, with just a touch of cream. Haven't spent much time with the '26 natural, but if you think the 40th has a "special" wrapper, (which makes perfect sense) I'm going to have to get some of these before they all dissapear.

I smoked an osok today, I felt like the pepper was little much in the first third and maybe another couple months would mellow it out a bit. Otherwise, it performed wonderfully and I love the subtle changes from the vitola and the quality of the finish. Damn thing lasted 2.5 hours.... Definately and excellent smoke as I remembered, but I think this was a fresh one I just got from Steve. Thanks big buddy or hooking a brother up. I might add that the tobacco is very strong and will give you a nice head change lol. I was to busy enjoying it and it crept up on me.
Interesting thought...indeed you feel the tobacco. The beauty of this smoke is the spice and aromatic aroma at the back. Thanks for sharing your experience Dustin.

Let me know know if you can find some 2-3 years aged. I am still searching but no luck so far. One collector is offering a full box from 2004 realese and I am still in the negotiation process.

I really did not want to pay attention, just enjoy really. I did not remember the spice being a bit too much for me the last time, but i know I had 6 and two were just sent to me so it might have been one of them. Either way, it is an amazing smoke and your review is spot on. The finish is excellent IMO, and an hour later my palette is ready for some tilapia in a rum, peppercorn, madarin orange sauce for dinner =]
Looks like I'll have to grab some!! I have been staring at these wondering if they are worth the price at my b&m...with such a good review well how can I say no lol thanks for the review rip!!
It was truly very heavenly. It was from 2008 and little age just made it better. It was not only a smoke also a meditative journey. I appreciate your kind word. Thanks Kasper.

Who would haved known that a Chubby could bring such happines.... Ummm, you know what I meant. Nice review. (once again).
Price and taste are subjective. However, I have been smoking Crown Series for a while and they are simply exceptional smoke. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for your kind words.

Hi Daniel, it is a interesting cigar with a nice hazelnut nuttiness at the back. However, the 1/3 performance was poor and that might turned off some smokers. If 1/3 of a cigar performs poorly then It fails to attract majority smokers. This can be a reason why most of us never heard about it.
danielzreyes:
Interesting cigar. I've never even heard of this one.
