Padron Serie 1926, No 9
Wrapper: Maduro
Size: 5.25x56
Body: Medium - Full
Origin: Nicaragua
Age: Purchase date, 7-22-08
Drink: Honey Moon Summer Ale

Summary:
Happened to be down at Rain City getting a replacement lighter for my Xikar that died. As I browsed the high end cigars the owner pointed out that he had the Padron '26 No. 9's in stock with about 10 left. This was CA's #1 cigar of 2007. Having only had a single '26 ever, which didn't impress me all that much, I decided to go for it despite the $20 price tag.

Wow! I'm not a huge maduro fan but this cigar was awesome. First third, black cherry. Second third, milk chocolate. Last third, I don' know, a bunch of stuff. This smoke was flavorful, balanced, complex and not a hint of harshness. Wasn't an ass-kicker either so I could actually enjoy the experience. This was the first $20 cigar I've had that I'd say was worth the money. If you get a chance pick up a couple. If you've got the bucks, pick up a box.

On the completely subjective and irrational scale of 1-100 I give this a 95.

Smoke on...
 
yeah I love the '26 maduros, I think they are my all time favorite maduro cigars .
 
Cool profile you got off em'. I have enjoyed the XXXX series so much that I slowly giving the annie series another chance.
 
I love any of the Serie 1926. Sometimes I wish you could eat them! They're actually my #1 smoke right now.
 
It's the best cigar I've ever smoked... hands down. But I don't know how you smoked this one yet according to your review you haven't bought it yet! :whistling: :laugh: :whistling:
 
Thanks for the review.

I'm a big Padron fan and enjoy a 1926 occasionally when I'm feeling in the mood for something special. Otherwise, the 64 series provide a good portion of the pleasure at a more reasonable price.

Keep 'em coming. :thumbs:

lol, just messin with ya. But Ginseng is right... up until I had a 26, I said the 64 was the best smoke I ever had. At a few bucks cheaper, definitely worth having some in the humi.
 
Just had a 1926 No.9 Natural tonight....haven't had one in a few months and honestly, it didn't do it for me. I was very, very dissapointed actually. For 18 bucks....hmmmmm. I think I'll stay with the 64's...like Wilkey said, much more reasonable price (and honestly I like the blend slightly better...especially on the smaller ring guages...56 is tooooo big for me)

Glad you like the maduro though... :thumbs:
 
I love ALL 1926 maduros, much more so than the 1964s. When I have my $hit together, I like to keep a box of all vitolas on hand (1, 2, 6, 9 & 35) and depending on my mood or how much time I have to smoke, I grab the appropriate one. Unfortunately now though, I only have a few 35s left. :(

Time to buy more! :D
 
The #2 ranks right up there in my top three cigars. I've always loved the 1926 Serie. I've got a #9 in the humidor right now that might need to see some fire in the not-too-distant future. :cool:

The #35 is a staple in my humidor and I have a box of #6 as well. Excellent cigars.
 
I agree with Alejandro Robaina.... its a bit "flojo". :laugh:

No really, my expectations were so high before smoking this thing that by the end I was asking myself, "Is this it?"

Might have better luck with the 80th though. Anyone got one they want to send my way? :laugh: :laugh:

Love these cigars. Among my all time favorites. I had a friend get me one from the show in Vegas. What a smoke!
