Often overlooked in favour of maduros maduros maduros, but I actually find the 64 naturals, particularly the torpedo, more complex and refined in flavour and aroma. The maduro is strong, spicy and borders on harsh with some bitterness in the dark choc, earth, leather and black pepper profile. The natural is light-medium with more light wood, cream, damp earth, cocoa and more balanced pepper zing. Sometimes they can often have complete wind-tunnel draws with zero resistance at all, which can make them burn hot and harsh, but on the whole the construction is very good from Padrón. The only real issue with these is that here in the UK they cost an absolute fortune, so I rarely buy them here despite often wanting to. In the US they retail for roughly £13-14 each and £180 for a full box.
