Anything like padron anniversary

I'll disagree just for the fun of it.... for a touch more oomph, but every ounce of the espresso-coffee-dark chocolate goodness, look no further than EO 601 BP maduro, especially the robusto, and if you are careful can be found for roughly 4-5 a pop online.

Taste is subjective of course, but these to me come off like a slightly more potent 1926 maduro.... YMMV

As much as I would like to be objective.... I can't.

I have to fall in with the majority so far, & say Padron has it's own distinct flavor that is all it's own. Ecspecially the Anny's.

While I like the 601's and consider Eric Espinosa a friend (although I love beating the crap out of him in dominoes), I have yet to find a cigar that rivals a Padron Anni, specially the '26 line.

Bottom line, you can get margarine to imitate butter but at the end of the day, there is nothing like the flavor of butter, in spite of the effect on the heart.
Padron Annis are unique and well worth the money in my opinion. You pay a lot but you are smoking the best. They are the Rolls Royce of NC's.
