Padron Serie 1926 80 Years

How many people have had the "pleasure" of having one of these? This is by far the best smoke I have ever had (I have'nt had the pleaure of having a Cuban yet). There are just endless amounts of flavors that keep coming on. Nutty, with cedar, leather, cocco, a little bit of spice. All very well balanced, but I guess you couldn't settle for anything else for your 80th birthday cigar. Would love to hear what other people thought about this cigar.

I absolutely enjoy this cigar. The flavors are wonderful, very smooth and rich, and yes well balanced. I have some resting, can't wait to try them with a little aging. This is one of the best cigars I have had the pleasure of smoking.

You know, this cigar is on my list. Thanks for the word. I'll move it up a couple spots and get it on order. Need to get some in my box, so they'll be ready when the time comes. Happy 80th!

I tried a #6 in this line a couple weeks ago.  It's small, but WOW what a powerhouse. I read somewhere that the "flavor never seems to leave the palate." That is very true.  It will have your mouth watering the entire time.  Defintely one of the very best I've ever smoked.  BTW, Cigar Aficionado rated the #9 with 97 points - #1 cigar of 2007.

Great to hear. I will definitely put a couple of these in my next order. Did you all get the natural or maduro though? I prefer maduro wrappers, but just curious what everyone else tried.

carmike22

Maduro is the only wrapper they are making them in now as far as I know.

I understand the "Natural" was just released and did see an online retailer advertising them. They claim they have them in stock. When it comes to Padron, I prefer the Maduro wrapper.

I will have to keep my eye out for the natural though to give them a try. But will be tough to beat the maduro flavor.

I was looking at them on ccom and saw the natural. That's why I asked, but I will probably get the maduro since thats what I prefer anyway.

I've been smoking the Padron 3000 for about four years and it's my go to cigar.I've tried every cigar they offer except the 1926.I purchased two #9's and 1 80th perfecto.Maybe it was the price but I did not enjoy either.They just didn't do anything for me.My opinion is too much money.I'm sure glad they keep making the 3000.
