Padron 1926 #9 natural
This cigar is way fatter than I normally like (56 rg) but it's box pressed, so that makes it a little better. A little better. This cigar was part of a sampler. I am not 100% sure, but I don't think I've ever smoked a Padron 1926.
Where do I begin with Padron? I think most of their cigars are very overrated. The only really good ones are the really expensive ones, and even those aren't worth the coin. I know I will get some hate for that, but oh well. I don't pay attention to ratings. I don't pay attention to hype. I don't pay attention to prices. I pay attention to my palate. If a cigar is good, I'm gonna know/say it's good, whether it's $2 or $40. If a hyped cigar is worth the hype, I'm gonna acknowledge that. OK, rant over. Let's get to the review. This is a really good cigar. First 1/3...A noticeable sweetness on the draw; woodsy and spicy through the nose. Medium 'strength'. Good burn; no corrections needed. Perfect draw, which is unusual for Padron, as most of their cigars have a very loose draw from my experience. Second 1/3...woodsy flavor has taken center stage. Good burn; no corrections. The intensity of flavor has subsided quite a bit. The sweetness on the draw is gone, but I taste a sweetness on the finish. Last 1/3...same as second 1/3. Fairly one-dimensional flavor; woodsy flavor is dominant, especially through the nose. I let this cigar die at around 1". Final thoughts...at $20/stick, I'd rather smoke Cubans.

I hear you on the $20 choice, Mark. Though if I do splurge on a premium Padron, it's almost always a 1926 natty of some vitola.

Yeah I feel you too. While I do enjoy a PAM 64 and all, I usually only buy them if there is a good deal somewhere.
