"Padron 5000 cigars are patiently handmade with carefully aged, all Nicaraguan-grown tobaccos from Cuban seed. A classic cigar whose outstanding quality defies its price. Renown for their dark, oily wrappers and rich, medium-to-full bodied blend, these perfectly balanced 'puros' teem with complex flavor and aromas of coffee and cocoa beans. Their consistency is attributed to being produced in limited quantities, which keeps them at the peak of flavor."

The Don has been a HUGE fan of the Padron line, since 1993, but the Don always pined for a thick ring-gauge cigar and a figurado. Now, the cigar gods have answered the Don's prayers. Padron has never compromised their quality on the starting line. The prices are reasonable and the construction is impeccable. The Don smoked a 6000 tonight and the Don is happy.
