Absolutely

Smoked my first Padron 2000 Maduro because this channel recommended it. This channel in general is my inspiration to get into smoking and enjoying cigars. Best quote that resonates with me is “it’s about the ceremony of smoking a cigar”. Everything about it, from deciding what you’re in the mood for, what to drink with it, that first draw and everything else; completely changed how I relax and take time for myself. The Padron 2000 Maduro is amazing and I’m glad I found this channel that’s full of great tips. I’m halfway through it and it’s definitely my first favorite cigar!

thanks for sharing, welcome aboard! Glad to have you with us 👊❤

In my opinion, Padron cigars are the best on the market today, I completely agree with you, this is the best cigar

Practically had the same initial experience with Padron. I went to a Cigar Fest early on in my cigar days. I got a bunch of sticks in a bag. kept passing over Padron due to the unassuming plain band. Finally smoked it and was like WHOA!!! this is not like any of the other sticks I'd smoked. Immediately fell in love with Padron. And like you said it has been so consistent over the years. Flavor/construction. Unwavering consistency.

Thanks for the review. I too found Padron cigars early in my smoking experience twenty five years ago. I always have a box of 2000's in my humidor. You can't go wrong with any line of Padron cigars. The Family Reserve Maduro is one of the finest cigars in the world.

Agree with everything you said. And the same for me when I first started. I almost didn’t give it a chance because of the simple band. I’m so glad I did! It doesn’t matter if I can’t afford one of their higher end lines. They all have that Padron flavor. And the QC is always on point! I’ve never used my perfect draw on a Padron.

I'm a Dominican guy and not crazy about Nicaragua sticks but the Padron in 2000 is one of my all time favorites. I still think this is the best constructed cigar I've ever had.

Yet another great video, Anthony. The Padron 3000 Maduro is fantastic!

I couldn’t agree with you more, as always an excellent review!

Much appreciated!

This is one of my favorite blends. I don’t smoke much Pedrons anymore. But I’ll smoke this blend once a year.

Fantastic explanation of the Padrón’s series thousands. 🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼

Honestly some of favorite sticks. I like the maduro, 7x54 or whatever it is. I love that pepper at first and then how it smooths out in that sweet flavor. Always burns good. Always tatses good. Gave one to my uncle on thanksgiving and it was first time trying one. He was texting me later that evening thanking me. One of my tops.

I'm mainly a Cuban cigar fan but non Cuban wise, Padron is hard to beat and of all the different varieties they offer, I really just enjoy the bog standard 2000. Great cigar. A timeless classic.

I like these affordable cigars. They're absolutely beautiful and enjoyable, even for beginners.

When i first first got into cigars, i called a local shop and said “i wanted to vet started, i have $50. I wanna buy about 5-6 cigars can you recommend any for a new smoker ?” He gave me and i still remember. A Padron 3000, a Montecristo White label, a Foundry Chillin Moose, a Rockey 1993 Vintage and an Alec Bradley American. Out of those cigars the one that stood out to me the most and gave me the true essence of cigar smoking pleasure was the Padron 3000. Although not overly expensive, it was the one that i thought 💭 “ Ok… this is what a cigar should smell, taste, feel like “ The lingering taste and smell was beautiful. One of my most memorable smokes especially because i was new to cigars.

Hi there. It was very interesting, listening to the interview you did with Mr. Padron about how the 80th is rolled by one person and one person alone. My all-time favorite cigar is rolled by one person. I found that very very interesting so thank you for that. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to more reviews from you guys . Out.

Great review! This cigar kept me going on cigars when I was starting to think I wasn’t a “cigar guy”.

I love these cigars. Padron 2000 & 3000 are oustanding and consistant from cigar to cigar. A regular in my humidor.

Outstanding & well stated

The 4000 M is one of my dailys as well as the Bellas Artes M!

Just smoke a 3,000. Loved it. Great construction , did not have to relight once . Enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for your review Mazz!!

I agree with him. It is my number one favorite cigar. I've been smoking them for over 2 decades and like others have never had one with an unacceptable draw or burn. The maduro is what I love, but the natural is a very nice switch once in a while.

Yay! About time. While EPCs remain my favorite portfolio, I have a ton of respect for the consistency and quality of this particular cigar. Other than a Perdomo, it is what I point any newcomer to. Great stick.

You hit it on the head. It's an easy draw full-body. I grew up in Miami. it's a big cigar culture. I love the 1000 series . If a shop doesn't carry Padron than later.

Can never ever go wrong with the 0000' series. Stellar video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When I first started smoking cigars, I came across the Padron 3000. At that time, I didn't understand how to taste should hit my pallet, until I smoked the Padron 3000. After tasting the cocoa, the espresso, and the peppery finish. It unlocked what I was looking for. That has been one of my favorites ever since. But you have to do a review on the Padron 6000 series. That's if you haven't done so already.☺

One of the best values out there - and a box ages so well

When using thick, sungrown tobacco common in nicaraguans, it requires more age to be great as padrons are. A lot of Nicaraguan tobacco from other brands is not aged enough and you can taste the harshness

Since December 2007, the 7000 maduro has served as my baseline cigar. For ~$11 a stick, you're easily getting a $15-18 experience. As Mazz mentions, its a completely different flavor profile than say an Ashton maduro, which I consider to be one of the finest after dinner / dessert cigars ever blended.

Another great Family. Only we cuban knows all we went through.

I started out buying different cigars to find out which I like best. And this cigar is my #1. Each one I've bought has tasted just like the one before. Excellent for me.

These are the babies that got me hooked. Love these!

I really like the 3000 Maduro. Very tasty stick. It's like Padron on a budget.

This is a fantastic review of the classics from Padron. Love both of these and your descriptions are spot on.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a Padron with an unacceptable draw or burn.

You definitely picked a great place to start!!

I would agree with consistent. I would also add “flavorful.” No matter which Padron I’ve had, I can always pull flavors from each. Excellent smoke and taste. My favs

I still love the 2000, 3000, and 4000 in natural. Used to be the best deal in cigars, But prices have crept up.

I've smoked the 2000 and will continue with Padron toothy wrapper .

So I watched this video before, but I just came back to it tonight because I’m smoking Padron original tonight and wanted to compare notes while smoking it. Man, this cigar is something else! I think the only mistake I made tonight is the whiskey I chose, which is Old Forster bottled in bond and I thought this was overwhelming to the cigar. Next time I’ll try a scotch and maybe coffee and see which could match best with it. Thanks for the review!

Couldn't agree with you more Anthony. I cringe when I'm down to 4 or 5 Padron 2000's. I tend to alternate; one box of maduros and then a box of naturals on the next go round. Razor sharp burn, perfect draw and that unique beautiful flavor profile all the time. You really do get what you pay for evertime you go for Padron. Everything from the blend, construction, elegant presentation to the tobaccos plus serial and batch controled boxes exudes quality in every sense of the word.

Hi there my BOTL. So I was wondering, what are your thoughts on purging your cigar. For me if I get to the being of the third and my cigar is tasting a little off or a lot. I find that if I purge it. It brings it back to tasting like the middle of the second. Thoughts. ??? And I think it should be talked about more. Would really like to hear your thoughts. ?¿?¿?¿ Out

This is my go to stick❤

Just had one of these tonight. Phenomenal cigar! I am fairly new to cigar smoking and your channel and I have a question. When do I know when to stop smoking my cigar? Like how far down do I smoke it till it’s “done”.

Until you're done with it, plain and simple! If you're enjoying the cigar go until you can't hold it anymore. If you're not enjoying it stop at any time

Do you have one particular cigar that you smoke on a regular basis? I’m new and I have been trying many different ones and to see which one I like best but hard to choose.

☑️ My 1st time hearing it as the "Original Blend" for the Thousand Series. Btw i like the Oliva V better 🆚 1964 Anniversary.

In the UK, these Padron 2000's are about $22 a stick. the cost of new world here is the same as the cost of Cubans.

I love Padron's but in Canada they're a little more expensive. A single Padron 5000 costs just over $24. I only know of one store in Canada that sells them. Thankfully it's an online store with Native American pricing. Screw paying 300% duties. In a non-Native cigar retailer, this stick would run $40.

Anthony what’s your personal favorite Padron you’ve ever had and why?

Padron 1000's series out performs most high end cigars...there's Padron and everybody else

Didn't Padrons have a unique hint of flavor to them about 15 years ago? Just a wisp of coffee and chocolate, but just barely. The construction is still the best, never a bad draw, still my favorite but I do miss that hint of flavor.

Haven't found a Padron I didn't like

please review this cigar for us.Romeo Juliet 1875 reserve twisted love story toro

do bands sell cigars? to a point they might IMHO.

Another prominent cigar channel stated Padron doesn't age their tobacco .. these are awesome sticks but I'm not digging how much the information about them differs depending on who you listen to.

Consider the family reserve, but in the smaller vitola. That way you aren’t out too much $ but get the special experience they bring. EP Carrillo’s Pledge and La Historia also great special-occasion cigars at 1/3 of the price of that FR.

The family blend is way too intense for me. Couldn’t even smoke past an inch.

Padron one word ?? Overpriced and over Rated. They are good cigars but I think most Cigar Smokers see a High Price tag and think this must be good. I think it's the alore of something expensive same with Cubans people want what they can't have.. Idk I would take a Perdomo any day for half the price.. And come on the 50th is 40 bucks price. No cigar is worth that much

The Padrón original blend is in the same cost ballpark as Perdomo. Taste is personal, if you don't like Padrón that's totally fine. What smoke is "worth it" is up to you to decide, but there are plenty of enthusiasts that love their higher caliber blends. Again, taste is personal 😉

You can argue that theyre not worth the money, but they are phenomenal and perdomo isnt in the ballpark of some of the high end sticks. Cubans are way more expensive than 40 a stick. Its like 40 bucks for decent cuban robusto. Cubas high end stuff is astronomical
