Sorry that it was a bit of a disappointment. I was extremely tempted when I saw the sale thread. Maybe the next one will make up for this guy.

Thanks for the review

Sorry the experience wasn't up to your expectations, Patrick, but a Beautiful Cigar, nonetheless!

Patrick, I've had much the same experience with older Padron anniversary-quality cigars, more often than not they've been flat for me.

I had a much better success rate on them if super fresh, I don't recall a bad fresh one in fact so maybe 100%

I haven't had one in a year or more, I should revisit them too! Thanks for the reminder

Nice review Patrick - maybe the cigar or maybe your palate has just changed. It happens Cubans or not ! The 64's were the shiz for me a few years ago also - then the 26's came along and were never as good for me. The 40th's were a major dissappointment - just strong and bland so I gave up on Padrons. I have heard it around that they lose flavor upon aging and have experienced it with a few boxes - the tobacco in their premium sticks is worked alot before rolling so maybe fresh is better with them - but who knows! The good news is you've got all those Cubans so smoke away and let bygones be bygones.
