Padron 1964 Anniversary SI-15 Natural

[kaelaria]

This is a special edition 6×60 cigar produced by Padron exclusively sold through Smoke Inn to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Smoke Inn. It is an extremely limited production cigar likely to sellout in a matter of weeks after it goes on sale in the middle of April, 2011. This is the natural, a twin to a maduro version also released at the same time with equal scarcity. It offers a medium brown wrapper with a soft buttery feel, the color being a bit splotchy in areas. It has minimal veins, tight invisible seams, an even slightly spongy construction and a very mild cedar and tobacco scent. First light reveals medium-full body flavors of a very peppery, dry tobacco with a good bit of spice on the long finish. Smoke output is thick rich and very voluminous, with a loose easy draw. The first third bring big earth and pepper flavors with a smooth tobacco core and deep long finish. 35 minutes in near the end of the first third it transitions, going down to a medium body with still a smooth tobacco core but bringing a nice cream in replacing the earthiness and much of the pepper. 45 minutes in starting the 2nd third flavors change to a big cream and licorice kick with undertones of the smooth tobacco. 1:20 in the last third begins pulling all the previous flavors together in one smooth blend. The body is back up to medium-full but with no strength kick unlike it’s maduro twin had. Ending at 1:45 where it got too hot for me, the last bit showed no further changes. http://cigarobsession.com/cigar-reviews/padron-1964-anniversary-si-15-natural-cigar-review/

Just an observation here...but in your write-ups you never seem to offer an actual opinion on the cigar, and whether you liked/loved/hated it.

You might do that in your video, but I'd rather not spend 10-15 minutes watching somebody smoke to get their thoughts.

An opinion would just be nice to see if you're gonna take the time to do a write up.

My reviews are unique in that I leave out the subjectiveness whenever possible. I'm not here to review my opinion, I'm reviewing the cigars themselves. It's up to each viewer to decide if the cigars sound like something they want to try or not.

I look at it this way. I don't care what someone else thinks of a cigar, I only care what I think of it. Same for the opposite is true IMO.

It's been explained from the start: Here

6x60 I'm sure it's good, but the size is not for me.

interesting concept and certainly unique. Figured there had to be something more to it....and that explains it.

+1

And add to that, the SI 15 retails for $20 a stick.........way too many killer Padron Anny 64 vitola's to choose from that are priced lower!

Another great Review Bryan!
