So with all cigar blogs, if One has the Padron 1964, one must have the 26'. The 26 is usually mostly preferred of the 2. I can't agree with this statement. In my opinion The 64' is slightly better than its $20 counter-part.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS-Padron's rollsmenship is always consistent. They always make the best sticks. Nicely packed, robust for their size, smooth to the touch with tiny veins. And
a stiffness that can only be challenged by a lead pipe, this 26's is no exception. The wrapper was a touch spicy with a sweet straw aroma. The foot smelt of slight earth intertwined with the wrappers scent. The draw was spectacular. This will be a long ash cigar, no doubt.
FIRST THIRD-The first inch of this cigar is powerful. I will even go out to say this stick is stronger than the Opus X,to me anyways. The first initial spice is good though, its very similar to Andy Capp's Hot Fries. This spice makes you pay attention to the cigar. But once that spice subdues some, you get introduced to sweet mocha notes that remain nicely on the palate.
SECOND THIRD-My favorite part. The mocha us joined with a different cho
colate taste, one of slightly bitter chocolate which is a pleasure, this flavored is easily contrasted by the slight nuttiness that is being introduced. The nut flavor is nice and crisp, almost like almonds. The spice is still a reminder of how full flavored this smoke is. but its delightful and smooth on that palate.
LAST THIRD- The ash is holding on just amazingly. This is a long ash cigar through and through. The spice starts to pick up a little more here bring along more of a leather overtone as the tar builds up sum, but it doesn't effect at all the burnline or the pleasure of the smoke. The rum is complementing this cigar quite well. It brings small hints of vanilla wafer to a cigar, a taste I did not expiriece when I smoke this cigar by itself. Along with the spice the vanilla is adjoined with cedar and anise, giving the smoke a nice crisp taste. As the burn gets down to the band the cigar is loosing its steam. It's flavor slowly star
ting to descend to more of a natural tobacco taste. I soon let go of the cigar,it was good while it lasted.
FINAL IMPRESSIONS- This is a good cigar, but not an outstanding smoke. For the $18 dollars asked you can get much finner smokes that give more pleasure like its sibling the 64' usually a whole $8 dollars cheaper. There's a trend with super-premium cigars being spawned from their high range counterparts. For example the Ashton VSG vs. the ESG. But that's another 2 reviews.
Rating-87
Buy It Again? Yes, but not anytime soon
Recommended? Yes, but not this ring gauge, there's smaller and cheaper sizes of the 26's that offer a similar taste for $8-$3 cheaper.
