2014 H. Upmann Petit Corona. Very smooth. Has lost some of its overall spice, but still a nice cigar

Just by some random accident, I smoked 2 triple banded Cohibas today. 

What a tragedy! I won’t judge until I walk a mile in a man’s shoes. Why don’t you send some of those triple banders this way so I can feel your pain. Congrats on the awesome R&R brother.

Celebrating the life and passing of my Mom from Early-0nset Alzheimer’s disease with a Cohiba Piramides Extra. What a horrible disease. Gone too soon, but looking forward to reuniting with her one day

Deepest condolences. It is a terrible, cruel disease that I’ve also experienced in loved ones. Best wishes for peace to you and your family in such a difficult time.

Good not great. Still some rich, chocolate notes, but the damn things always seem to have burn problems half way through.  And half way through is not much for this format.

You've been my inspiration to head down there. Trying to figure out when we can get out there. 

 

Has the blue dollar been strong while you've been there?

Wow, 5 weeks!  I'm going to have to go back through your posts.  Sounds amazing.

Looks like @hrs1 and I are on the same page tonight. Mine a 2018 Cazzadores and not my first rodeo with these broncos. Steven Stills on the Bose.  Strong medicine for me today 😎

I love them so far.  Since getting into Padrons a few weeks ago, I've started craving them and reaching for them a lot.  They provide some kick and a lot of flavor which I'm loving.

I think the Maduro Exclusivo is more earthy and chocolatey while the Superior is sweeter, funkier, more complex in my opinion.  To my palate it provides fermented vegetal complexity, along with that signature Padron taste.  I get green apple skin/creaminess/and some of that earthy cocoa.  Just the right amount of mineral spice on the retrohale.

I smoke these Superiors as slowly as possible which, thanks to the excellent construction and combustion of Padrons, can be remarkably slow.  It delivers flavor in spades when smoked slowly.  Very savorable.  On the other hand, they are fully satisfying if smoked quickly, but I'll reach for the Exclusivo more often if I want a fast, intense smoke.

Just like so many others on this forum, I love the lonsdale size.  The Padron Superior is 6.5 x 42.  In this size, you get a lot of wrapper flavor, which I love.  At the least, I'm guessing this vitola showcases the flavor of Padron wrappers more than any other, as the wrapper constitutes a relatively high ratio of the total tobacco in the cigar.  I'd like to try the Natural Superior to contrast the two wrapper styles.

I'm no expert in Padron, but if you know you like the Padron flavor, and you love the size, it's a pretty safe bet you'll like them.  Hope this helps.
