In this review I go back to my earlier days of smoking and light up a Padron. I use to smoke Padron’s often when I first began smoking. Over the years I’ve moved away from Padron’s in favor of other types of smokes. Watch as I discuss this particular Padron and why these are no longer in my regular rotation.
Name: Padron Series
Taste: Spicy
Country of Origin: Nicaragua

I’d be curious to hear your opinion on Tres Hermanos from The Cigar Factory in New Orleans. They’ve been in and out of my rotation over the years but I give them as gifts all the time. Hopefully I’m not sending junk out to my friends and family.

I’m very new to the cigar world (turned 18 this year), and I was wondering what specific brands you recommend. I’ve had Montecristos, Padrons, and an Oliva Serie V, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed. I just watched your review on the Brick House, and it looked good, so I’ll be on the look out for one. I just moved to Alabama for college, and they set the age to buy tobacco at 19 (stupid, I know) so I have to wait a few months to legally get one, so I’m just looking up new ones. I appreciate it!

@Mark – I’ve never had that Cigar but I’ll look into it and see if I can do a review on it over the next few weeks. I’ll keep you posted. And thanks for the comments as well. I appreciate it.

@Kyle – since you’re new to smoking cigars I say just continue trying different kinds until you find the ones that work for you and that may change over time. Like I said in this review, I use to smoke Padron a lot when I first began smoking but now I hardly smoke them because I’m not a fan of the spicy cigar. I tend to go for more mild, cigar tasting cigars. I’m going to be doing a review on the Oliva Serie V soon, so look out for that. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the advice man. I’ll keep a look out for Romeo y Julietas. Just saw your review on one of those. I’ll be on the look out for other ones as well. I hope you enjoy that Oliva Serie V, I sure did.
