jerseyjay Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Additional photography and comments - check cigarphoto.net Visually, Padrón cigars, especially Anniversary series, are close to perfection. I have yet to smoke Padrón which had a bad construction or burned incorrectly. This sample wasn’t any different. Flawlessly applied toothy wrapper with well blended seams. Standard Padrón band and red/gold rich 46 Years band add tons of elegance to already perfect cigar. Although my favorite vitola size ranges from lancero to corona gorda, I have to say that this 56″ Padrón format didn’t cause an adverse experience. In flavor department, Padrón is an example of well balanced experience. Cigar presented just the right amount of spice without tasting like a ‘typical’ nicaraguan spice bomb. Mixed between was delicious cocoa and chocolate with rounded sweetness. Woodiness and leathery taste were present as well, especially in second and third part of the cigar. I usually don’t talk about mouth dryness but I have to point out that Padrón Family Reserve 46 Years Maduro caused an excessive salivation. Is it good or bad ? You be the judge.
Rogers72 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 AWESOME PICTURES! I've been wanting to try this one.
Charltonc Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I love this cigar. This is the best big ring gauge cigar on the market. I usually prefer 42-50 and this one I love.
cigcars Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 *Have had the Padron Family 45th Anniversary maduro. Can't really balk at the $26 price - this is QUITE a cigar! Awesome and full of strong body, depth and flavor! Hope you didn't smoke this on an empty stomach!
#2 man Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks for the review and fantastic pictures ! Have 2 boxes of these paid around $16 a stick

Although fairly large ring gauge, it doesn't feel that way because of rounded box-pressed finish. *Have had the Padron Family 45th Anniversary maduro. Can't really balk at the $26 price - this is QUITE a cigar! Awesome and full of strong body, depth and flavor! Hope you didn't smoke this on an empty stomach! Absolutely not. It was right after a delicious steak Thanks for the review and fantastic pictures ! Have 2 boxes of these paid around $16 a stick $16 ... wow ! Great deal.
thechenman Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 This is another fine cigar you are reviewing. Again great pictures. I have a hard time deciding between which is best between the 45th and 46th, so I just smoke them both.

thechenman Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 And where is your preference ? Some folks believe that 45th was above 46th. While I like them both, I'm in the 45th camp if you really press me on it. Oh...and maduro over natural as well.
bc8436 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 While I like them both, I'm in the 45th camp if you really press me on it. Oh...and maduro over natural as well. +1 45th > 46th in my opinion. 44th is a good cigar as well, but seems to fly under the radar more than the others in the lineup.
