Cigar Review: Padron 3000 Maduro

I know this particular cigar is generally a hit when smoked by most people, and I am no exception. I have had my fair share of the padron line, particularly the 1000 series, from the 2000 series up to the 6000, and I have enjoyed them all immensely. I realized that although this is a very popular cigar, it is one that we have yet to review on Cigar Command, so I thought I would tell you what my thoughts are on the most recent one that I smoked.

Pre-Light: This cigar was treated the same as I treat every other cigar on the pre-light ritual. I ran the cigar the length of my nose and got a very nice chocolate and coffee smell. I cut it with my ever so trusty Palio cutter that works EVERY TIME. As I took a pre-light draw, the chocolate was strong with this cigar, and the coffee was there just on the back of the palette on the after taste.

1/3: As I lit up this cigar, I knew I was in for a treat, as I have had quite a few of this particular stick. The first few puffs were very chocolaty and coffee like. I was really enjoying it. The draw was perfect, the burn was not quite razor sharp, but it was close enough, as to not keep me from enjoying it. I was getting a lot of smoke and great flavors.

2/3: Not much changed at this point. I was still getting those chocolaty and coffee flavors. The draw was still great, and the smoke was still billowing. I was really really enjoying this cigar. The burn had corrected itself, and was now burning razor sharp. I did notice, as I got to the end of the cigar, it was getting a little hot on the lips, but I think that was because I was puffing it too quickly.

3/3: For this last third, I slowed down the puffing, so I could allow the cigar to cool down a little bit. I was still really enjoying this cigar, and was still getting lots of chocolate, but for this third, the coffee flavors seemed to come out a bit more. I was still getting lots of billowing smoke, and a great draw. I nubbed this cigar as far as I could without burning my fingers.

Overall Impression: Overall, this is a very solid stick for the money. The burn started off a little wavy, but corrected itself over the length of the cigar. The flavors were very typical Padron coffee and chocolate flavors, but they were very enjoyable. In typical Padron fashion, this cigar did not disappoint. There are few cigars, in my opinion, that are better for the money.

   This is definitely one of my favorite smokes. Full bodied, tasty, often creamy… And for less than $5! How can you go wrong?
