Daddy still loves Padrón!
So I've been in the new house for 2 weeks now but hadn't yet had my first smoke while at the house. I couldn't decide what to have, and I wanted it to be a special night.
Tonight that finally happened.
Had my mom, 2 sisters and brother in law over for dinner..first time my sisters had seen the new house since we moved in. Had a great dinner that my wife made and enjoyed the company during the evening. After everyone left I decided to break in my balcony and smoke something.
I chose for my first smoke at the house a Padron 3000 maduro that was gifted to me by a neighbour and fellow BOTL on here Jabba. He told me it had 1 1/2 years of age on it so I decided to go for it.
It was a relatively nice evening, a bit on the chilly side, but no wind to speak of, nice and calm outside so I pulled up a chair on the balcony, got my Stinky ashtray and went at it.
I'm in awe. I have never had a cigar that burned as evenly as this thing did. So often with cigars I smoke the burn becomes uneven at some point and I always thought it was something I did wrong when I first lit the smoke. The padron burned straight as a razor from start to finish. It was so smooth and gave me tons of smoke.
I didn't want the thing to end. I went right down to the nub, so far that the cigar was smaller then the stinky ledge part that holds the smoke. I don't know if it's the mood I was in this evening, 2 days away from my daughter's baptism, but it was one of the best smokes I've ever had. I am going to order a box of these things ASAP.
If all padrons smoke like this one, I'll become a huge padron whore. I can't believe this is such a cheap smoke because it feels like it should be a super premium to me.
I love everyone on this board, especially Jabba for introducing me to this cigar.
Goodnight and God bless my fellow BOTLs.

Way to go! I love those. I think I like the 2000 just as much. For the price it's hard for me to argue against them. :thumbs:
