Never had a maduro?
Start out w/ the 5 Vegas A. Let it rest in the humi for a couple of months before trying it though. I hated the first maduro stick that I had (can't remember what it was) Let it rest for a while to mellow out. You can't go wrong w/ a good maduro. Camacho SLR maduro is great, but expect a powerhouse. Edge Maduro is the same.

Yes sir! Also the Pepin JJ Maduro and Torano '59 Black Label. I recently had a Kristoff Maduro that was quite tasty as well.

My two current favorites are the 601 Blue Maduro and the DPG Serie JJ maduro. I love them both. The Perdomo Reserve maddy is good too.

IMO the cigar you described was a Padron but I would also HIGHLY recommend the new Oliva Maduro Serie V But it is said it is either a limited release or a seasonal release. So if you can get your hands on one DO it I myself have never had one I have had the Regular V and the blend is awesome the maduro can only make it better I think. If you want to follow raitings the Onyx Mini Belicoso scored a 94 and its cheap and a slight box press maduro I still think Padron would fit you better. The first one i ever smoked I thought it smelt like chocolate.
On the subject on maduro IMO it has been getting worse as more and more makers are dyeing them instead of fermenting them or dying them just to make them darker. To test just lick your finger and rub the stick lightly and see if your finger changes color real maduro will leave nothing. IT Super Fuerte Maduros are im my opinion are soaked in dye as when i smoked one of those once not only did it taste bad (to me) it make me look like i ate a melted chocolate bar not smoked a cigar. My lips and fingers were a reddish brown until i literally scrubbed myself clean. (think of a 2 year old eating a chocolate ice cream cone) but that face on a slightly bearded man LoL. I cant think of all of them but here are a couple real maduro cigars Fuentes Ashtons Padrons Olivas ahh cant think of many more i could list a lot more dyed than not so you get the picture. Personally I am not a Ashton admirer or a Fuente freak but you cant go wrong with the others. If you don't want to break your budget and you dont mind coronas get the Padron Londres they are 5.5x42 from TnT for $59.95 and come in boxes of 27 if you are a robusto guy you can get the 2000s 5x50 from TnT for $77.95 I usually get my padrons from tnt because i haven't found a better price yet (the only thing i really order from them) Last edited by beatnik; 10-21-2008 at 11:27 AM. |
