This is easily 5 Star cigar and box worthy. There is your classic rich and full-bodied Padron 1964 profile flavor notes of cocoa, earth and nutmeg. This lonsdale has a slight variation of gentle sweet caramel and cinnamon finish with an ideal pinch of pepper.

I usually prefer the larger rg Padron’s but this one delivers chocolate and malty notes in spades. Draw is firm but output is perfect. Definitely a size I need a box of.

I love the 1964 in this vitola as I’m a sucker for long and skinny sticks. Got the classic padron musty earth profile balanced with coffee and dark chocolate/cocoa notes. And for the price, of ~$10 (with premier discount) it’s hard to beat!

Great construction, and a wonderful cigar, but there are several other sizes in the 1964 series that I prefer. Notes of dark roasted coffee, cocoa, leather and earth. Good mouthfeel and depth.
