a lot of good love for it that's for sure. I haven't had it but most peeps like it. The 3000 is the same, most like it around here. I haven't had any of them. Only the 1926/64's.

Padron cigars are the same blend, period. They do not reblend for size, so each size gives a unique perspective of the same blend. So while you may get the same general flavor profile, one cannot say that they taste the same. The 3000 is my preferred size, I think it offers a bit more flavor and complexity than the 2000 while mellowing out the blend overall.

Being a Nicaraguan puro, I should hope it's a bit Nicaraguan . I think I've only had one puro that didn't taste particularly Nicaraguan, and that's Oliva...I don't know what they do, but their blends seem to defy geographical flavor categories.

So, speaking in generalities, how would you describe the taste of Nicaraguan?

Nicaraguan...? Honestly, I can't put it into words, there is just a quality of flavor that jumps out and says "I'm Nicaraguan!" Any flavor descriptors I use can also be used to describe flavors from tobacco of other origins, so I don't think it is purely in the flavors, but how they come together. If that makes sense...

lol, yeah that sums it up for me. I tend to like mostly Nicaraguan. more often than not anyways..

I don't have a problem with the flavor of Nicaraguan, it's just that most of the stuff you find today has Nicaraguan tobacco in it that I enjoy Honduran and Dominican just for something different. They are all good in their own right, just nice to have some variety.
