Padron 1926 80 years maduro

[Renefatdude]

This evening I decided to smoke this cigar and review it for the Dutch forum I am on.
After doing the review in Dutch I decided to do it in English also and post it here as well.

So here my first review in English.

Wrapper, binder and filler are all from Nicaragua.

Dimensions: 6 3/4" by 54 ring.

The cigar looked perfect, cutting it was no problem.

Predraw was good, not tight nor loose.
I lighted the cigar and started smoking, at first I was not impressed but after half an inch the cigar picked up and I began to really enjoy it!
I tasted wood, coffee leather and pepper.
Halfway through it started to get more mellow, sweet nuts and tastes I can not pin out.
The last part the spices where more dominant but very enjoyable never harsh or bitter.

Burn was perfect, needed to touch up only once ( in the beginning).

Summary: Delicious, complex cigar the best cigar I smoked (but only had one so that is dangerous).

Worth the money?

As far as I'm concerned, yes! (I think it is way better than the Casa Magna CA put #1)

And some pics.

Enjoy!

Thanks Jake for sending this one!

Great review Rene. While it is MUCH better than a Casa Magna, it's also MUCH more expensive. Wish I had the budget to smoke these regularly.

Its a good smoke. Not like the Padron Family Reserve. But we will see Rene doing a few more reviews soon enough. :whistling:
