Little powerhouse, itÂ’s you with that Partagas flavour bold and fast. Suppose from a 15-30 min smoke you want that. Nice!

My favourite Plasencia of the four different types Ive tried so far. Beautiful looking with a dark oily wrapper and nicely boxed pressed. Really lovely flavours - sweet and nutty. Burned perfectly and slowly. I really didnt want this one to end. I might try a box of these next.

Have to agree with the above review even though it is 4 years old. Smoked one of these as a pay day treat and it was well worth it. Very creamy smoke with superb draw, so often it seems that even with expensive Cuban cigars you have to puff away to get the cigar going but not with the Padron. A real if expensive pleasure, will buy again when I can justify it!

A whole lot of cigar! Not for the inexperienced or feint faint hearted, of which I am both. The 1st 3rd was beautiful. Full flavoured leathery smoke. 2nd 3rd started to take its toll on me, and by the final 3rd I was struggling with the spiciness and getting light headed. For the beginner I would recommend a much smaller vitola of Paratagas or a milder blend in the Romeo y Julieta Belicosos. I cant really give a low score as it was clearly a fine quality tobacco I was smoking and the draw was great throughout. It was just a bit too much for me. This may be one to revisit in 6 months time.

It struggled to stay lit for the first quarter although no relight was required. To be honest I was a little nonplussed at first because there was not much going for it in terms of taste or flavour, but the more I smoked the more the cigar developed and the last third was an absolute joy. After an hour and fifteen minutes and with just a small stub remaining I did not want it to finish. Despite the initial difficulties and lacklustre performance at the start, overall this is rather a nice cigar and I would certainly consider further purchases.

Quality construction. Perfect draw.
Flavour-wise, its pretty consistent. Lots of cedar throughout, with some cocoa notes coming through on the retrohale. There was a fair bit of a pepper at the beginning of the first third, which appeared again in the final third.
Very good for the price, just dont expect too much complexity.
