Unquestionable the finest cigar I have ever had. It is like smoking a fine glass of cognac. The aroma and flavor were esquisite. How Gurkha produces this cigar is beyond me. – turd fergeson
excellent cigar but no cigar is worth that much – majesty
got this cigar as a present. I like premium cigars, and this one was quite good actually. Of course far away from a nice Cuban, but for blend of less famous tabaccos quite OK. My only complaint is the ridicolous label and the bad taste packaging. For this price you could expect more. anyway it was free for me, so I don’t bother. (P.S. though I would have appreciated to get the Cognac seperately) – partagashase
once had an opportunity to have a puff of this amazing Cigar. Its absolutely marvelous. Cigar lovers should have this tasted atleast once in thr entire life, even though its words most higly expensive cigar ever made…kudos to Gurkha…cheers – Vijay – India – vijayakumar Honnungar
Had my first Padron 2000 Maduro yesterday. Not a bad smoke for the money. Would go well with a cold beer. The Maduro wrapper split about half way through. I felt it was a bit hot towards the end. Nice draw, nice long white ash, and a nice even burn that you expect from Padron. I prefer the Padron 2000 Natural. – Marshal.
I had a Padron 2000 maddy last night — first one in about 3 years. I have to say it was nearly flawless for a soothing, mild cigar. The wrapper didn’t have the suede texture I remembered from before, but the hand-rolling was a better job — very firm, tight ash, and a stiff, but adequate draw. The copious smoke was a very mild aroma and not offensive to my non-smoking wife and friends. The initial flavor was had strong coffee overtones, but they quickly subsided into an almost understated earthy flavor. If I liked big, bold flavor, this cigar would seem to lack personality. However, I found it to be a great social cigar in that it didn’t grab me by the collar and shake me up demanding my attention. We had a wonderful conversation punctuated by my thoroughly enjoyable smoke of this quality cigar. Definitely a new favorite and one I recommend. It has a permanent place in my humidor. – Ron
Folks, dollar for dollar, you will not find a better smoke! – Kent
I say this is the best cigar around. It lights and draws well and burns even. There is a little starting bite that just blends nicely with the overall flavor as you continue to smoke. This is truly a fine cigar. For my money there is only one better and that is the Padron 1964 Anniversary Edition. – Len Santamaria
came in with high hopes after excellent experience with the 3000 Natural, left with disappointment. too tight of draw for me, hints of coffee bean and chocolate too fleeting. stick with the truly great Natural wrappers or ’64′s. – JDH

This is probably my favorite smoke. Smooth, easy draw. Clean, even burn. Full, rich body. Tight roll, heavy stick. Love this cigar! – Scot
Unbeliveable. Highly recommend. Similar to Partagas 898 and Serie D No.1. Wonderful earthy tones. Great flavor and perfect draw, burn and contruction. Try it. – Steve
Just got a 91 from CA. I’ve had the Churchill version of this and it’s one of my faves. Very earthy and, well, smoky. A very satisfying flavor. For some, the draw may be too loose, but I like it that way. – Scott
I don’t get this cigar. After smoking half a box (not all at once)my sense is average build quality combined with overly strong tobaccos and unbalanced flavours. Sorry to be miserable but I was disappointed… – AlanP
A wonderful smoke. As a pipesmoker new to cigars, I found it slightly more than mild. Tastes of hazelnut, spices. Nice for a walk in the woods. – Mark Giordano
My second Padron, this one was outstanding. I prefer the size of the Executive, but the quality of both is outstanding. Pricy, but worth the money if you like a fine cigar, for sure. When people around you comment on how good it smells …. you know you are on to something. – tg81182
Very decent smoke for the price. A very earthy, medium bodied smoke with some leather notes and little spice. Good draw and burn. Nothing like Padron’s anniversary lines. Good, but you have to be in the mood for an earthy cigar. B – Ruben F – Miami, Fl.
Bought these for my wife, and she loved them. Just the right size and flavor. – Barry H
I can not tell you in words how much I enjoy this full flavored maduro. Every one of my friends that smoke one of these are in love with it. A real bargain for the price. Smooth with a slight hint of chocolate & coffee. – Tim Kelley
Great small cigar, can’t go wrong for under $3.00. Same aroma, texture, and great taste as, say the Padron 3000 (my favorite), but at $2.00 plus savings per smoke. Good value. – Jim Waterville
I picked up a 1/2 box of these while searching for an everyday smoker. The first 1/4 inch was a little rough but it developed into an espresso and earthy taste nicely when smoked slowly. Reminded me of the forest after a fall rain, with a damp, woodsy and smooth finish. The body was there and the flavors tight with a slight bite. I conoed it a little about half way down, but probably due to the fact I am used to much larger rings and lenghts and was also fighting traffic as I drove home. I – Shane
Very nice cigar. Was recommended by the shop owner. Full flavor, and the best smoke for the price. An instant favorite! – Chris
Rated 89. Full-bodied and full-flavored. This cigar is chewy and sharp. Dominated by earthy and spicy aromas that remain on a long finish. – Cigar.com, May 2006 (AS)
This is one of my favorite smokes. I say this in spite of some significant flaws in this cigar. The caps on these things are amoung the worst on the market, they don’t produce enough smoke and they have a nasty tendency to burn badly towards the end. The overriding saving grace of these smokes is the utterly outstanding flavor. It’s so good that I can and do overlook the negatives. Also, I think these are milder than the medium to full strenght rating indicates. – mgraze
This cigar really surprised me.First by the price,it’s a everyday cigar and second by the flavour.It’s just pefect.Very mild and delivering a earthy aroma and an excellent smell while burning.Good draw and burning.This is one that always will have room in my humidor. – Luo
Rated 86. A spotty, rustic-looking panetela with a loose draw. Opening with anise flavors, the cigar shows some sweet notes on the palate – Cigar Insider, May 2007
Was unsure of this at first because of it being very firm to the touch, but was recommended by the shoppe. Very impressed. Nice even draw for the whole smoke, burn became even very fast,and a nice white ash. Found it to be mild to medium. I will probably keep a few on hand. Pairs well with a rich dark beer. – BM
I love this cigar, nice slow burn, full body taste, holds ash very nicely. I have tried a few others but this is by far my favorite. – Mike
One of my all-time favorites. Very well constructed, holding the ash and burning evenly right to the nub. Smooth yet powerful, and full of flavorful woodsy spices — like a heavyweight-intensity of the V Centenial No.2 Churchills. Cao Black is my fav, but this is a close 2nd or 3rd. – aphio-igor
its look is not appealing ,but it smokes great! Even burn , easy draw. Its a little better than Cigar Aficionado score (88). – the godfather
Rated 88. Rich in color, this oily cigar has a rough burn. The smoke is earthy and spicy, with some herbal qualities as well as toast. It is medium bodied, with a nutty finish. – Cigar Aficionado, October 2006
uneven, rough burn greatly outweighed by remarkable progression of flavor. from pine woods to a strong cinnamon, vanilla spice tranformation at the halfway point. a great experience, a great cigar. – JDH
Rated 89. This cigar draws and burns evenly, delivering predominantly rich cocoa flavors with some wheaty, grainy notes and a woody finish. – Cigar Insider, May 2007
Had this cigar in Orlando at a nice cigar shop. However, I was a disappointed with it. The taste was good and very rich. There were hints of a nutty rich flavor. However, this cigar was not smooth at all. It had such a bad mouth bite and it hurt my throat so bad, I didn’t even finish it. – Jon Lung
Great Great Great Cigar for the price, wonderfull taste great burn and a all around good smoke – Wilson
An exceptionally good cigar for the price. It has excellent flavor and is well balanced. I would say it’s med to full in body. Great draw and good burn qualities makes this cigar a real winner and I always keep few on hand. – Paul
I really like the 4000. Great taste, perfect burn, plenty of smoke, wonderfully smooth, and lasts a good, long time. I’m a fairly new smoker, so have been trying a number of different brands, sizes, and strengths. The 4000 is my favorite right now. I look forward to the next one. – Lee
My new favorite. Great taste, near-perfect burn, a nice long smoke. If I had a bunch of money, I’d keep a box on hand all the time. – Lee
My new favorite! A wonderful smoke in every way. Burns great, tastes great, looks great. Lots of flavor without going to my head, which, being a lightweight, I really appreciate. The price is very reasonable for what you get. I look forward to being able to afford buying a box of these! – Lee
Rated 87. A thick cigar with a dark, natural wrapper. It draws well, offering sweet and spicy cedary notes with some wood and licorice, and a mineral finish. – Cigar Insider, May 2007
one of the 1st cigars i ever smoked when I was 12, and still one of the best almost 10 years later. – daniel R.
ugly wrapper and ash, uneven burn. great draw and lots of smoke, herbal qualities unmistakably Padron, woodsy with cinammon undertones, slightly more bitter than the 3000, but excellent nonetheless. – JDH
Rated 85. This cigar has a veiny wrapper and a lumpy cap. It is charry and woody in character with an earthy, weedy finish. – Cigar Insider, May 2007
Great cigar! This is the first box of cigars I have bought. Starts off a touch on the harsh side and then mellows out for a nice smoke. Slightly nutty and spicey taste. – Dan Peters
Medium to Full flavor, spice, plenty of character and smoke. Great after a meal. After the first inch it opens up and reminded me of the flavor of good mole. Enjoy. – nottiman
Rated 91. An attractive mini torpedo with an excellent draw and burn. It is earthy and toasty, complemented by notes of chocolate and coffee. A rich, complex cigar with a medium to full body. – Cigar Aficionado, April 2006
Rated 89. An easy-drawing torpedo with a slightly uneven burn. Sweet cocoa and coffee flavors are complemented by peppery, earthy notes that leave vanilla on the palate. – Cigar Insider, May 2007

Rated 88. This dark, box-pressed cigar opens with distinct flowery flavor dusted with sweet cocoa notes that segue into a woody finish. – Cigar Insider, May 2007

I tried this cigar as a smoke while playing golf and as an after dinner smoke. Was very surpised at the quality, taste and construction of this cigar. Very good full bodied smooth smoke that burns evenly thoughout the smoke. I have now ordered a box. This cigar can compete with several of my more expensive cigars! – Rob C.
What a great cigar. The construction is great. It is very consistant.Good even burn and a great draw. Starts off with a creay tobacco flovors, and ends witha strong leather flavor. Bought a box. One of the best boxes I ever bought. I give this cigar a 90. – Mike

Rated 87. Attractive, oily and pressed, this dark corona is full of coffee, cocoa and wood flavors that build to a woody, licorice finish. Some dry flavors were also noted. – Cigar Insider, July 2007
Robusto add your review
THIS SMOOTH, CLEAN WELL BALANCED AND COMPLEX CIGAR DELIVERS A MEDIUM BODIED SMOKE WITH HINTS OF COFFEE AND SPICE. AS IT BURNS EVENLY WITH A WHITISH ASH, YOU REALIZE A VERY CREAMY FINISH. I COMPARE IT TO A ANNIVERSARY PADRON. IN A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10, I RATE IT AN 8. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. – RON
Rated 87. A dark and oily robusto with a firm draw. Cedary flavors are slightly bitter and charry. Scattered notes of black cherry and sweet spice precede the oily finish. – Cigar Insider, July 2006

TOP NOTCH CIGAR. SMOKED ONE WHILE UP THE MOUNTAINS, SITTING IN MY RECLINER LOOKING OUT AT THE RAIN. THIS IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. SMOOTH AND LOADED WITH FLAVOR. DEFINATELY A FINGER BURNER. EVEN BURN AND LONG GRAY ASH. – MIKE
Rated 87. This box-pressed mini torpedo is predominantly chocolaty in character, with some coffee and woody notes as well. Performance inconsistency was noted. – Cigar Insider, July 2006
The REO was one of the most exciting releases in 2005 and today continues to be a top seller nationwide. Blended by EO brands and made by Rocky Patel, the REO is medium to full-bodied with a dry and spicy aroma and hints of toast with a moderate finish. Each cigar is box-pressed and comes packed in boxes of 20.
What makes this cigar so unique is the five-year-old, Sumatra seed wrapper grown in Costa Rica. This wrapper completes a blend this is composed of hand selected Nicaraguan and Honduran long fillers. There is nothing ordinary or one dimensional about this cigar. Its complex mix of competing flavors makes it virtually unmatched by cigars from this region.
This is a world class cigar. I really enjoy this brand and I have never been disponted. Complex and no harshness. The draw is perfect. Do your self a favor and try one of these babies. – Curtis
I absolutely loved the flavor, but had some significant problems. The burn started very very badly, and was very uneven. I let it set, extinguish itself then relit, still had some burn problems. This cigar did start to smolder, and with it gave off an aroma I did not prefer. The after taste is absolutely magnificent, nutty, and creamy. I will definitely try more and see if I just had a bad stick. – Ryan
Well, this wasn”t the worst cigar I”ve had, but I did not enjoy it very much. It has a almost dark chocolate flavor which I did not enjoy. Never the less it is still a fine cigar, just not my type. – Papa Hayes
Churchill add your review
Just finished up a box of these Churchills, and enjoyed almost each one. Lots of smoke and pleasant taste and aroma, but a few sticks were tight and hard to draw. Otherwise, pretty good. – Bobby

Rothchilde add your review
This is an absolutely fabulous cigar, easily worth the 90 rating. It has a nice full body and is really smooth. Plus, it has a perfect draw and lots of smoke. I cannot believe the price. – Jesse
A wonderful cigar from start to finish. This cigar had an easy perfect draw and burn with a medium body and creamy undertones with hints of dark chocolate on the palate. What a deal, at $2.75 a stick this cigar is one to try, at that price you really should just buy a box. – Mike T.
Just smoked this with a friend. A great cigar for its price. Although it burned a bit too quickly, it did burn evenly. Smooth with flavorful hints of woods and nuts, this cigar will satisfy you. I rate it an 88 and worth trying. – Jon Lung
Love this cigar, tasty, burns well, smells fantastic, can’t loose for the price. – cycleroadie1
Tried a maduro last evening. Very good stick. Plenty of smoke and very flavorful. There was some chocolate and nuttyness early, switching to a dark chocolate later on. Excellent variety of tastes. I”d go 88 easily…. – Mike_B
Toro add your review
For the price these were OK, but I found them a little sour. Would not buy again – Tom C
This one was just OK. Started off well, but then got a bit harsh and bitter. Smoothed out half way through, with light hints of nuts. Decent for the price. Punch is a better example of this size cigar for this money. – MaxZ
I truly enjoy the cigars just as good If not better then La Fontana Vintage Verdi I use to enjoy Smooth draw. Definately worth a 90 – Ron
Rated 86. Creamy, reddish brown and silky wrapper. Slightly tight draw producing plenty of smooth smoke. Some spice through nose and on finish. Medium flavored and medium body. Excellent burn and construction providing a long, white ash that fell even with the foot. Cigar lacked complexity, offering a predominant rich, cedar aroma. – Cigar.com, September 2006 (TN)

Decided to try some smaller smokes for the shop at work and found these at a decent price. Overall a nice mellow smoke with a woody taste. Pleasant flavor and smoke until the last 1/3 where it gets bitter. Overall it reminds me of the “White Owls” I smoked when I was younger. – Brad
As a new cigar smoker, have tried a wide variety of mostly medium to mild cigars and these are my curent favorites for a shorter smoke. – Billy

Wonderfully smooth, great aroma. Even, slow burn. One of my favorites. – Willy
My favorite. Smooth taste, not too strong or too mild. I suggest over any other cigar. – B. Huynen
Very smooth cigar. Great aroma and a good aftertaste. I would recomend this to all cigar smokers. – John
I never had such a classy expierience in my life. A true delight for the most educated of cigar smokers. I never wanted it to end as I stunk from that smell of success all night! A nice little shot of scotch and one of these bad boys tells everyone in the room “Yea This Is My Lifestyle.” – Roger
An excellent cigar for one of those relaxing nights on the balcony. It has the perfect blend of smoothness, and the aroma is “delicious”. An A++ cigar! – Matt
Rated 87. Solidly constructed with a yellowish, veiny wrapper. The draw has wheaty, woody notes that are a touch dry. A medium bodied cigar. – Cigar Aficionado, August 2007
Whether its a wedding, fourth of July, Thanksgiving,or just a breezy saturday night, you simply cannot go wrong with this cigar. Not too strong, yet still has a distinctive taste. A++ – Matt- Marlyland
The Don Diego is the perfect cigar for those enthusiasts who don’t want a lot of body or an overbearing flavor. By all measures it is exactly what one would expect from a smooth Dominican cigar and it is fairly strait forward on the palate. The brand has a lot of history and is considered a classic. Taste the lighter side of the Dominican Republic with a Don Diego.
Free Cuba! Cuba Libre is an extraordinary new blend from Central America that will make you forget all about the Cuban cigars of old.
Rolled by Nestor Plasencia, one of Central America’s top cigar makers and the world’s single largest grower of Cuban-seed tobacco, his beloved Cuba Libre blend is a unique mix of aged Cuban seed long-fillers bound with an authentic, exquisite Corojo wrapper – a wrapper selected specifically for its oily texture and robust flavor.
smooth, mild and even cigar. The last third is as enjoyable as the first. To be smoked slowly and enjoyed to the fullest. – Fred B.
Smooth, mild, with hints of cream, cedar, and notes of dry wood and leather. Peppery finish. The natural and the maduro are by far the best. Excellent with a good scotch. – Mark
Rated 85. This cigar has a good looking wrapper and it burs wiht a flaky ash. The draw is firm. It is a little creamy and dry, with notes of sandalwood and touches of cocoa and coffee. Medium to full bodied. – Cigar Aficionado, December 2006
This is a great smoke. The stubby size is a fooler,the 4.5 inch smoke still lasts about 35 minuets or more without burning out. Nothing worse than a cigar that wont stay lit if not puffed every few seconds. These are great for the money as well. Smooth with a meaty finish.Thick blue smoke with a lite smell for others. Try one. – Prince of Peace
Double Chateau Fuente add your review
Wonderful. 91 in my book. Silky smooth wrapper. Tasty complex flavor with bold cedar notes and a solid peppery spice through the nose. Woodsy undertones. The smoke produces a euphoric sensation in the frontal lobe and a satisfaction only common in Fuente Cigars. – Tyler C.
This is one of favorites in the Fuente line.This well constructed beauty is a sight to behold. Taking it from it’s, your sense’s are treated to the wonderful aroma of well aged tobacco sheathed in cedar, wow what a combination!

Wonderful coffee and earthy flavors with just the *slightest* touch of sweet- spice. I’d say on a scale of 1 to 10 for COMPLEXITY, this is a 11! Personal opinion is that the mural (oh, 4 and a quarter, maybe 4 and a half inch by 42 or 44 rg) is the tastiest, fullest flavor (not body, which I’d call medium or maybe med-to-full… maybe…) of the line, with a long-lasting/ full finish that makes you want to eat the smoke somehow — close second is the FFF (Full Fathom 5), a box- pressed robusto grande (5.5 x 55rg), which burns slower and more deliberate, producing slower flavor changes from foot to head in a far cooler smoke. Complex is an understatement… take the RP vintage 92 and smush it (not literally!) with the smooth and cool cocoa/ coffee of a CAO Brazilia Gol!, then lastly add a VERY mild sweet- spice typical of the Puros Indios lines = yum! Ignore the mexican in the filler – it doesn’t muck it up, really, and the nic “zing” with the brazillian wrapper makes it just…wowzers! Sorry for the super- long review, and I hope it helps more than it confuzzles. – ZugbugPete

A great, small cigar. Mild and flavorful. Makes my afternoon commute a pleasure. – Billy
Perfect cigar for guests and amatuers that dont finish larger cigars. Yet they get to smoke a premium, mild, smooth, hand made dominican beauty. I also smoke them on short car rides or when i want a quick 10-15 minute smoke. Pick up a tin or 2 for your humidor! – benny
I haven’t tried many “little cigars” or cigarillos yet but this is definitely my favorite. Mild, smooth, creamy almost buttery flavor w/the slightest hint of cedar and even slighter sweetness on the ocassional puff. Also a little peppery as it nears the band, but again, this is slight. Quite a nice treat for a such a little cigar, great to enjoy when you’re on the go or just don’t have time for a full size smoke. The Arturo Fuente Cubanitos used to be my favorite of the small sizes but these have replaced them. I get a better draw with more smoke and they are also slightly cheaper than the AF Cubanitos (and a bit milder as well). I will always keep a tin or two of these in my humidor. – Jay In Phoenix
Smoke these all the time,a real treat for something so small(love the maduro also)I always start with an ascot they are so good.A great all round smoke,you can inhale if you want they are that smooth. – aussie shaun
Baron De Rothschild add your review
I just finished a Baron De Rothschild. I thought the Prince Phillip was good…well this smoke was even better!!! Very smooth, great draw, excellent taste to the very end. Will definitely be buying more of these. – Jay
As always a superb smoke. Smooth flavourful and just the right size for relaxing with over a drink and conversation. – Rob
Rated 87. A firm cigar with a firm draw. It has notes of wood and sweet cream and a solid tobacco flavor. Mild to medium bodied. – Cigar Aficionado, August 2006
Combining a Connecticut shade wrapper, Dominican fillers, and a unique binder grown in the San Andres Valley of Mexico, the Macanudo is fairly straight forward and light in flavor with a very short finish. Macanudo is the cigar that put General Cigar Co. on the map and has led to their unprecedented success. Still on top as the best seller, the name Macanudo is one of the most recognizable in world. No where else can such consistency be found in a cigar. This blend is ideal for those enthusiasts who are just getting started or those veterans who don’t like an overwhelming level of flavor or body in a cigar.
