Didi you put in a wire inside the cigar?
Did the guys in the cigar lounge cheer you on? No matter what, it is still impressive. |

Seems he got a ~3.5" ash the last one of those he smoked. Honestly, I got it almost half-way through before we all really realized we had a contender. I just slowed it down and made loooong, slow draws and really enjoyed it. Near the end, there was some interesting craning of the neck going on to smoke it. I got two more draws after that pic and it cracked at the very bottom. Luckily I got it over the ashtray before it fell, that would have made a mess!

So how was the smoke? I stared longingly at a box of the 80's today but they're a bit outside of my price range at the moment...

While I appreciate the blend of the Opus very much, Padron's Anniversary series' in general are may favorite tasting sticks. The 80th is full and flavorful but in no way overpowering. It gradually picks up a little spice as you enter the second third and tops off in the final. You know its there, but its not in the way. Effortless draw, thick, slow-rolling smoke. I'd say the taste is exactly what you would expect in a Padron, if you've smoked any of their 1964, 1926 or other Anniversary blends - just more sophisticated and deep, if that makes sense. While in the low to mid-$30s most places, I would say it is money well-spent for a special occasion. Might not end up being your favorite smoke but it will be very good. I've smoked a total of three and have two more sitting in the cabinet that will be aging for a while. |

Thanks for the review. I won't be able to hold out much longer and will pick one up to let sit until my birthday in September.
