Padron Aniversario Corona Maduro 6x42
I can honestly say that I have never been dissapointed with a Padron. Likewise this little Corona held up to my high expectations. Of course the highly-respected Nicaraguan family would not allow a sub-standard cigar to be banded a Padron.
Being partial to "full-bodied" cigars I savored the delicious, thick, creamy smoke that this small ring guage, box-pressed cigar produced. Very smooth and mellow with a perfect draw, even burn and uniform white ash. The flavors are outstanding with coffee, chocolate and nuts seeming to dominate. Also, the 4-year aged all-Nicaraguan tobaccos present a special singular non-blended purity that is hard to find these days.
Being a fairly small cigar this would make a perfect companion to a cup of coffee for a mid-morning smoke. If you like maduro's at all you must try one. If you don't like maduro's you should try one anyway, it might just change your mind. These little delicioso's retail for around $8.50 but are worth every penny.
On a scale of 1-10 I rate this cigar 9.4.
