This is probably my favourite Padron. Construction is always perfect, smoke time is perfect and the flavours are deep and you get a perfect balance in this vital of earth, wood, coffee, chocolate and sweetness.

My favorite natural from the 1926 anniversary series. As you’d expect from Padron, this gem has great construction and craftsmanship; good, even burn, that has never required a touch up from me. Notes of caramel, vanilla bean, and earth; rich and luxurious smoke, and is a perfect pairing with morning coffee or a single malt scotch. If you are thinking about buying this, you’d better be quick, because as soon as Oxford gets a box in stock, I’ll be buying!

Perfect draw, tons of smoke. The first third brings out a great deal of flavor that transitions into a full, complex range of flavors—spice, mustiness and chocolate.

Padron 1926 Anniversary No. 2 Belicoso Natural, The smoke starts with fresh cracked black pepper and peat moss. It transitions to orange peel finish. Definitely complex full range of flavor of woodiness with a sweet finish. Considering the age, I would have thought it to be more mellow but there was a slight rough on the edge on the draw throughout the cigar.
