Padron 1964 anniversary Series Diplimatico (natural)
Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Diplimatico (Natural)
Size: 7 X 50
Strength: Medium to Full
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Ash : Greyish White Slightly Flaky but very Strong
After a Long day at the office, I had to then travel home where I was to soon be making a small fence on the side of my house . I knew it was going to be a long night. The fence was successful but boy was I exhausted. I truly felt like I needed something rewarding for what I had accomplished today , and what better cigar than a Padron, i decided to smoke the 1964 natural Aniversarry diplimatico (Churchill) . Padron cigars is a brand known worldwide, for its persistent consistency and quality product. Jose Padron born in 1926, at a young age farmed tobacco in Pinar Del Rio which is a prime area for cultivating tobacco in Cuba . in 1961 Jose Padrons farm became nationalized by Fidel Castro. This then led to Jose getting a job as a carpenter in Miami, with a hammer he received from his friend, this hammer earned Jose the $600 he needed to start a tobacco farm. Today Padron cigars run by both Jose and his son Jorge Padron is the most well known name for a quality product. There cigars have been rated multiple times by both cigar insider and cigar aficionado, and to my knowledge they’ve only had a few cigars rated under 90 points and a Ton rated over 90 . Padron cigars has also been in cigar aficionados top 25 cigars of the year , in 2004, and 2007 , and in 2009 the Padron No.45 was crowed number 1 cigar of the year . You don’t get to be number one if you really don’t try your hardest at what you do and clearly the Padrons do , they have the ratings to prove it , and if u still don’t believe all the hype go to your local cigar shop, pick one up and SMOKE IT they speak for themselves. I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigar in every size and yes that includes cohiba and all the Singlo series’ too , I have also smoked alot of Cuban Limited editions from 2004, 2006 and 2008 as well as some of the Regional Editions which are cigars that are excliusive for certain countires like for instance in Canada Vegas Robaina released a special sized robusto only for realease in Canada , Bolivar did a Cigar for asia which was a short Edmundo this was one great cigar I must say. I’ ve smoked quite a few 20 year aged Cubans including cohiba lancero , esplendido , romeo Y julieta Churchill , hoyo De Moterry Double Corona , Monte cristo No. 2 and No.4’s and I can honestly say , I respect Padron cigars and I do really enjoy them ALOT , they truly do remind me of that Cuban like taste and tradition. Jose did a great job on maintaining his families heritage that dates back to the 1850’s , and the No.45 Maduro was one amazing cigar that I would defiantly smoke on so many occasions.
The 1964 was created in commemoration of the companies 30 years , This cigar is a limited release Nicaraguan Puro (only Nicaraguan tobacco). Each cigar has an authenticity band beneath the Padron label , this cigar was No.807952, This cigar has 4 year aged tobacco and debuted in 1994 which means that this blend is now 16 years old , , This cigar is available in a Maduro Wrapper and Natural . Today I am smoking the Diplimatico which is 7 X 50 box pressed . The Wrapper is not your typical everyday wrapper that you see , it has some evident veins that run across it , and the wrapper has an almost slight wrinkle to it , it was hardly toothy , and slightly oily
Taste Profiles
Imediatly after lighting the foot , I was rewarded with a soft nutty taste , followed by a body of cream , talk about a good first impression , Love at first puff could you say ? YESSSS SIRR , the burn at this point is very fair a slight unevenness but nothing that I couldn’t use my torch to touch up just a tad it took about 3 minutes for the draw to fully open up but when it did my palate thanked me for it. As I’m getting into the 2/3 point of this cigar the body is beginning to become fuller but still maintaining the creamy nut flavours , now there’s just a hint of pepper for a bite in the back of my throat. The burn at this point is still good but is continuing to remain uneven in the one area , like i said before its nothing that cant be fixed. The final third was where the body became fuller , increasing pepery notes and decreasing the cream , thats not to say that there wasn’t still an undertone of cream coming through .
Summary
Overall this is an amazing smoke that offers alot of great flavours. Medium to full bodied with creamy nutty flavours complimented by peppery spice. This cigar is one that your palate will not hesitate to thank you more than once, a good burn and nice overall appearance make this pardon a keeper , and at a reasonable price for a limited pardon as well .

Montecristo Reserva Negra Robusto
Montecristo Reserva Negra Robusto
Initially Altidas USA’s Montecristo contained 6 lines. Last summer the Montecristo reserve negra was released which now gives 7 lines to the Montecristo brand. The Wrapper is a San Andres Morron also known as San Andres Negro hence the name Reserva Negra . The interesting thing about this area is that from what i’ve heard the soil is claimed to be comparable to cubas famous Vuelta Abajo , which in Cuba is the prime area of Wrapper tobacco plantations . The name Morron means” chestnut brown”, this wrapper “is also very rare. This will be the first montecristo to Contain a Maduro Wrapper don’t let that scare you, there’s a first for everything.
THE CIGAR
--This Cigar has a beautiful Maduro Wrapper with very few veins at all, it is not oily in any way and contains a rugged finish almost matted you could say . The pre light aroma is very indulging , allot of pepper and coffee scents come through , upon lighting the cigar the draw was slightly tight , but within 3 minutes it really opened itself perfectly to blast my palate with an immense amount of smooth creamy flavours of roasted coffee beans, chocolate, with a little bit of leather , the flavours are apparent in the first 1/3 of the smoke , I really enjoy the way this cigar is manufactured , its slightly box pressed with rounded edges which allows it to stay in your mouth nicely this robusto is really nicely packed , the ash is very strong a little flaky but strong , and the burn is absolutely flawless so far , it seems like this smoke is only going to get better . I’m at the halfway point and i seem to be getting some sweet woody type flavours not necessarily cedary like most cigars offer . At the final 1/3 the cigar really seems to be giving me some full bodied characteristics and overall power , allot more peppery spice is evident but still having a smooth undertone . Not having smoked too many Mexican Wrappered cigars besides the H.Uppman reserve Maduro and the Gispert. The Montecristo Reserva Negra is a deffinate MUST SMOKE. Don’t underestimate the quality of this cigar , i’ve been fortunate enough to smoke Cohiba Maduro’s on many occasions and let me tell you , the Negra in my books is very comparable in taste quality and burn profiles.
WRAPPER San Andres Morron
BINDER Nicaraguan
FILLER Nicaraguan and Honduran
STRENGTH Medium to Full
ASH Beautiful white colour ash
SIZE 5 X 54
SUMMARY
The Montecristo Reserva Negra , is a great smoke that offers alot of desiered flavours that your palate will thank you for . A perfect burn followed by a persistant smoothness with spicy woody and leathery notes , all toped of with a fuller bodied finish of spice this cigar is sure to be one you will not forget , /the wrappers rarity gives the cigar a one up but the taste and construction speaks for itself.

Reviewed August 2nd 2010
Frank Llaenza 1961 double Magnum
Before the 1961 Llaenza Cigar Frank Llaenza was President of Villazon in Honduras for many years main focus being on the Hoyo de Monterrey and Punch cigar brands. 60 years after his introduction to tobacco and cigars, Frank has created a brand with HIS name on it.
FACTS ABOUT THE LLAENZA 1961
Limited released cigar only 60 stores nationwide cary this cigar CFO sterling Heights and Troy being two of them , this cigar is also sold as IN HOUSE ONLY , there is no online purchasing of this cigar . This cigar is completly handmade in Nicaragua.
THE CIGAR
WRAPPER A dark Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. This is a failry dark wrapper ( almost a chocolate color ) fairly smooth a slight etched feel to it with very nice veins
BINDER Nicaraguan
FILLER Dominican and Nicaraguan
STRENGTH Medium to Full
ASH the ash is a nice firm not flaky solid white colour
The pre light aroma was very endulging reminded me almost of a cuban . the pre light draw seemed very good aswell the real test was to come , This cigar provided an effortless draw the second i lit it , , the burn on this cigar was exceptional , this is obviously due to the great construction of course , this cigar seems almost too good to be true im on the first quarter and im getting some leather , cedary notes , with a smooth undertone staying very persistant , not only is the burn perfect ,but once again the construction comes back again to prove itself , i left this cigar unsmoked for nearly 7 minutes and itstayed just the way it is was i am now at the 1/4 point and im getting some chocolate notes coming through , im now at the halfway point of this amazing stick the flavours the burn and the draw is still as exceptional as it was 30 minutes ago . Im now getting near the end of this cigar and all i can say is WOW seriously , the flavours just exploded as i neared the last ¼ of this stick , just amazing.
SUMMARY
