Padron 2000 Robusto Maduro Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 28 February, 2020 by Aj

So, as a fairly new member of the forums, I found this cigar to be medium strength, with a little pepper and spice in the 1st 3rd, with great draw and the burn very even and straight.
The 2nd third continued in the same way, with a little more pepper, but not overly so. Now getting an aged leather and sweet wood note, a little like sweet chestnut on an open fire....with liquorice and earthy notes. I like this one!
A little further on, I get a fruit brandy (German Williams schnapps), flavour, which is quite sweet.
Final 3rd, still getting pepper, but now hotter on the tongue.... still very enjoyable, but losing the sweeter notes- becoming earthy, with looong finish and..... Ooh... it’s gone out!! Relight, and all is good... I just took too long between draws🙄.

I’m pairing this one with a bourbon 🥃... Woodford Reserve, which goes really well with its sweet Finish.

All in all, a good cigar for the price, and well worth trying.
Rate on its own merit as 89-91
