Dual Review: Padron 2000 Maduro

Hey, everyone! We're back with another dual review. This time we are reviewing the famous Padron 2000 maduro.

Appearance:

Lastminute: couple of veins. toothy cigar.

Mississippi Rifleman: Really nice wrapper. dark brown wrapper. Very good cap.

Pre-Light Draw:

LM: Taste of the smell of mahogany.
MR: Nice tobacco taste....hints of popcorn

First Third:

LM: Meaty taste...like a grill porterhouse steak. Woodsy.
MR: Toasty nuts and a nice tobacco flavor. Not much sweetness yet.

Second Third:

LM: Berry flavors. Oat taste....toasted. Hints of sea turtle roe on the after taste. Nutmeg.
MR: Sweetness is really starting to kick in....getting a nice strong cocoa note. I get the same toasted oat flavor....wheatiness.

Last Third:
LM: Draw got difficult but has a strong wild berry taste. Which is good.
MR: Same as the second third....but there is some hints of allspice in the background...like its playing peek-a-boo.


Overall:

LM: Good, short smoke. Even burn. Thick, woodsy aroma. Looking forward to another one.
MR: Nice smoke. LOADS of smoke and nice ash. No problems. Sweetness didn't develop like it does in the 5000s, but it was there.

Score: 91/100

BOX WORTHY
