Padron 5000 Maduro

Da Klugs · 04-12-2009, 07:45 PM

So I forget my Hallie at home while rushing to make the plane on our golf trip this past weekend. Hit the exciting metropolis of Evansville, IN with 0 Cigars.

Fortunately my bus partner has about 10 sticks that get us through the evenings but the course needs cigars. They have a display at the bar and decide ... any port in a storm. In this case Padron 5000 Maduros.

Rough looking but well made cigars. Smell very young/barnyard hay like prelight alomost like they were undercured which is wierd for a Maduro. Burned well and put out good volumes of smoke. Flavors were OK but the cigar is a little one dimensional/harsh in that it lacks a smoothness and had a very short finish.

The experience was difficult due to constantly forgetting what I was smoking and nasal exhaling to a biting bitter end. Play a hole, get into it forget and ... blam!

I think after a while things numbed up and it got less nasty. Had a nice mouth flavor and because of the pace of things lasted on average about an hour and a half.

Smoked 6 of them T-S. Not a bad smoke if you remember not to fully exhale them through your nose. Got to the point where 25% nose or so was actually pleasant. Not a complex set of flavors but decent richness and body that peeked through occasionally.

Are they 50% as good as the annies and 24th's? Probably if you are into that kind of mathmatical price/flavor comparision. For me, if they were both available I wouldn't buy and smoke these, but that's not fair as they should be compared to cigars priced similarly. Better than the CAO Vinatage Cameroon that I smoked 4 of at the exact same price.

I didn't think I'd ever see a review like this from you again Dave.

I hope you're enjoying something good this evening. So how was the golf?

Texan in Mexico · 04-12-2009, 08:25 PM

I hope the golf was good at least!

I saw your thread on Thursday, had I FedExed some sticks from here they still wouldn't be in transit haha.

I smoke a lot of the 64 and 26's but the whole X000 series gives me a very bitter taste along with the comments you had.

Anyways, welcome back!

MarkinAZ · 04-12-2009, 09:32 PM

Only have smoked the 2000's and 3000's, and have enjoyed the 3's over the 2's. Never have had a 5000...

Yeah, how was the golf anyways?

Skywalker · 04-12-2009, 09:55 PM

I'm with Mark!!! I've only had the 2000s and 3000s!!!

Glad to hear you atleast found "something" to smoke. I guess when push comes to shove, beggers can't be choosers.

To bad Evansville is 6 hours south of me. I would have gladly came to the rescue if it were closer.

Da Klugs · 04-15-2009, 10:40 AM

The Golf? It was brutal. This is a top 25 course for a reason.

122 on Thursday... 54 - 68
Friday got in 4 holes started out par, par, bogey, bogey and then it rained.
122 on Saturday .. 60 -62

Had a few moments (Friday) but for the most part, was not getting off the tee. I'll get it down to the high 90's next time. (sure I will)

CigarGuy88 · 04-23-2009, 08:37 PM

ouch that score hurts!

For some reason when I read about the forgotten cigars, I thought back to the movie There's Something About Mary. I could just see Klugs playing the part of the little kid and asking, 'Mister, have you seen my Hali?'. Dave, was the Padron better than your experience with the Cremosa?
