Favorite maduro overall?

[abanytime]

I didn't want to jack IlmProcess' thread on low-mid priced maduros here

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=55335

so I thought I'd start a new one. How about some favorite maduros overall? I like some of the Padron Anniversary ones ('26 and '64). Any other thoughts?

Thanks for any ideas...

[bobarian]

Padron 64

[Big Maduro]

Of what I've had...I'd probably say the Ashtron Aged Maduro.

[Theo Cincy]

Camacho triple maddy, LFD Airbender maduro, and mk ultra.

[TJtorpedo]

Viaje Satori.

I do love me some Padron 64 maddies as well.

[kelmac07]

Enjoy way too many to nail down just one. :D

[Pseudosacred]

The only maduro I've had that didn't completely blow, was the Camacho triple Maduro. It was great, unfortunately every other maduro I try falls flat...

[billybarue]

I'll second that. Don't hear a lot of buzz about them, but they're on top for me.

[BryanB]

Anejos, hemingway maduros, and Padron 64s for me

[Chemyst]

Hemingway maduros.
PAMs and Ashtons.
Oliva V maduros.
Perdomo ESV '91, Perdomo Reserve (red).

More affordable are the Pepin Serie JJ maduro,
CAO Brazilia, Casa Torano, RP OWR, Edge and Missile.

Chemyst :cool2:

[Ogre]

Anejo 77 "Shark"

[oooo35980]

PAM 64, all the way.

[CigarNut]

Padron 64:tu :tu
I was unaware that Bob and I shared a fondness for Padron 64 Maduro's!

Bob is wise!

[levrac68]

Padron 1926 #9
Liga #9

[papichulo]

Padron 26 -- any of them.
Anejo #46 is good too.
Davidoff Maduro

[thecatch83]

Illusione HL, 601 Blue, Anejo.....top 3 of all-time!

[SteelCityBoy]

Yes, I forgot about the HL Illusione--actually I enjoy the line.

Padron 64
Hemi maddie
Cabiguan guano rx

[shilala]

PAM 26 #6 or PAM 64 Monarca. Blue Oliva O's are incredible, as well.

Are you me?

Swap out an LP 9 for the Cabiguan and thats my top three right there

[MurphysLaw]

PAM 64 for me, especially the principe and coronas :dr

The Principes are incredible, no doubt. I like the Monarca better when there's time, they develop more and I get a lot more of that "incredibly good" last inch that's in a principe. I probably smoke more principes than monarcas, but I'd rather have a monarca. :)

Exactly my feelings. Love the Monarcas, especially since you get a bit more wrapper flavor in em.

[MurphysLaw]

Don't think I've ever had a monarca, guess I need to snag a couple soon.

[shilala]

Same ring as the Principe, just longer, Brian. I think one is 4 1/2" and one is 6 1/2".

[DaBear]

I stand corrected, I think I was thinking of the Exclusivos, not the principes.

[shilala]

Ya still get more wrapper flavor from the monarca, it's longer and builds up more, right? :)

[DaBear]

True, but I just consider that getting more cigar, since its the same RG, just longer, I tend to find it progresses roughly the same just the stages last longer.

And all this talk is reminding me I have a 64 Natural Imperial sittin in the travel humi. Now I'm startin to jones for it. :dr

[kuzi16]

im torn between the Camacho triple maduro or the Davidoff Maduro. <br> i think ill go with the Davidoff though. it has a bit more refined flavor and i find it a touch more approachable.


...save for the price.

[dave]

Oliva V 08
Tat Black PL
T-52 Toro or Torp

To me it has settled out to be more about wrappers than individual cigars:
CT > Nic (with occasional exception) > PA Broadleaf > everything else > San Andres

I know I'm in a small minority, but there are VERY few San Andres-wrapped maduro that I've ever enjoyed.

[RobR1205]

Believe it or not...an old 1998 CAO Maduro Corona (red label). It had aged to perfection. AWESOME!

Other than that, I'm also a fan of the La Aurora Preferidos Maduro

How are these out of the store (not 14 years old haha)

[Ciro]

Camacho Triple Maduro, still one of my favorites.

[RobR1205]

Ah my apologies, upon closer inspection of the band which I saved, it seems not to be the original 1998. It is however, the vintage CAO maduro from several years ago, not the newer CAO L'Anniversaire Maduro remake. I wish I had more details, but it was gifted! ;s

[abanytime]

Great choices here! I've got some great ideas for future selections.

Thanks, and by all means keep them coming...

No problem, thanks for the info and glad you enjoyed your smoke!

Padron 1964 exclusivo
Liga privada #9
and I belive le bijou 1922 is a maddy too right?

[DaBear]

I personally love the L'Anniversaire Maddies. Great smokes at a good price. Nice and chocolatey. :dr Makes me hanker for one, but we don't carry them at work unfortunately.

[maninblack]

Padron 64 and DPG JJ maddy.

What few Ligas I've had I like but they're extremely difficult to come by. The closest place to me is over 100 miles at Vitolas in Birmingham. Try a Perdomo Champagne Noir Super Toro. It just got a 91 on CA.

[saigon68]

Overall the Anejo Shark (77).
