Description
The Padrón Series 2000 Maduro is a 5 x 50 robusto rolled entirely from Nicaraguan tobacco, with a dark maduro leaf on the outside. Padrón also offers this size with a natural wrapper, as one of fifteen long-filler cigars in its Series.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado gave the 2000 Maduro 92 points in its April 2023 issue and called its strength medium-full. Its tasters noted a dark, pressed shape, a creased cap, an even burn and a generous draw, with earthy, cedar-led smoke touched by black coffee, vanilla and toasted marshmallow. The magazine had scored this maduro 88 points in its Best Bargain Cigars of 2012 roundup.
Who It’s For
- Padrón newcomers starting below the longer-aged 1926 and Family Reserve blends.
- Cedar-and-coffee fans drawn to Cigar Aficionado’s 2023 notes.
- Robusto regulars who like five inches on a 50 ring.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Cigar Aficionado’s April 2023 score of 92 was given to the maduro itself
- All-Nicaraguan blend in a familiar robusto size
Cons
- Shorter tobacco aging than Padrón’s 1926 Serie (five years) or Family Reserve (ten years)
- Not a showpiece: Cigar Aficionado’s 2023 write-up called its looks rustic
About the Padrón Series
The Series runs from the small Corticos to the 9-inch Magnum. Padrón says the Series is made from sun-grown tobacco aged at least two and a half years.
Pairing and Storage
Black coffee in the tasting note makes espresso an easy partner. For something stronger, our cigar pairing guide matches bourbon to medium smokes and aged rum to full ones; a medium-full robusto sits between those picks.
