The Best Nicaraguan Cigar: Padron Family Reserve No. 45 Cigar Review

[@tajzikria5307]

My all time favorite CIGAR of all time is the Padron Family Reserve #46.

[@jd-the-red3026]

I’ll take a loose draw over a hard draw any day. At least I can control it, but it would be hard with that cigar. Padron is just superb. Cheers from Pennsylvania brotha.

[@vibingwithvinyl]

I have never smoked a bad Padron, they've all been at least very good.

[@Keith-cl3th]

The 46 years is probably my favorite NW cigar ever. Burn, construction and combustion are simply marvelous.

[@tajzikria5307]

I do agree the #45 and #46 are pure bliss. Try the #46 its unreal!

My favorite Padron has to be the No.85 Maduro. 1964 family reserve to commemorate the man's 85th B-day. Was going to be the No 47 but they changed it as alluded to. The 45 there that's being reviewed is a majestic cigar though! It's my second favorite from Padrón! Great review. You're spot on.

[@jaredkilgore7194]

How would you stack this Padrón up to some of your favorite Cubans? Thanks.

[@ChristopherGrav3]

That is one of the very few I haven’t tried out of the Family Reserve series. My current favorite is the 1926 Series 40 Years Natural. The torpedo tip gives it a bit more of a resistance to the draw too. Hard to go wrong with a Padrón.

[@cigarinspector2023]

Padrón make incredible cigar and I highly recommend this one. Actually get the maduro it's definitely better.

[@tajzikria5307]

My all time favorite was always the 1926 #40 until I smoked the Family Reserve #45. A few weeks ago I tried the Family Reserve #46 and had an orgasm! I am an avid Cuban guy but this #46 was something else!

[@tajzikria5307]

@@cigarinspector2023 You are absolutely right! I recommend the Family Reserve #46 and if you don't have an orgasm I will eat crow! And, Im a guy that has been only smoking Cubans for 20 years.

[@ChristopherGrav3]

I may have to snag one when I head to Florida for The Great Smoke next week. I was trying to figure out a good celebration smoke for missing a year.

[@Paul-rk8cg]

Padron live up to the hype. I need a box!

[@baba-vh7hb]

bro, would you please do an review of the oliva master blend 3? u might like that stick

[@cigarinspector2023]

I've smoked a couple of them and it's not for me. I didn't enjoy them. I can review it but it's probably not going to be favourable.

[@cantthinkofausername8698]

You don't look hard enough for cigars. Cigarsofhabanos have tons of padron family reserves available. Don't pay those extortionate montefortuna prices mate.

[@bigaback]

I like Hoyo De Nicaragua, especially the Numre Uno & the Silver

[@cigarinspector2023]

Amazing cigar :)

[@racedj85]

I love the 45 Family Reserve, I like the 50 Family Reserve a little better

[@Z3kyTw0]

Will you put out your top cigars of 2021 ?

[@cigarinspector2023]

Yes, writing an article about it on the site. We may do a video discussing it too.

[@ronkumar1093]

What do you reckon your top 4 nicaraguan cigars would be for a beginner? new to the world had a few cubans now. really like ramon allones, bolivar, hoyo brands, h upman

[@cigarinspector2023]

Nicaraguans are generally going to be stronger than Cuban cigars so as long as you don't mind the strenght I would suggest looking at some of the premium Maduro Padron cigars. Oliva cigars are some of my favourites too. Additionally., cigars from brands such as Joya De Nicaragua might appeal to you more due to several mild and flavourful options. Give a few a try first and see how you get on.

[@NeverTrustGoats]

Just got a Maduro. I just have to find the right moment to try it =)

[@LTorni]

After a great dinner! 😉

[@kemsprite520]

Not the biggest padron guy but I really understand why people love them

[@LaurenceGill2000]

Some New World comparisons on the channel would be cool

[@cigarinspector2023]

Definitely. I’m working on putting some of those together. :)

[@nothingtoitbuttodoit]

Crazy how they sre low in europe but in overabundance here in the states. But we have no cubans

[@seabass3104]

Naturals are the ticket.

[@MarkMetternichPhotographyLLC]

***BS…! It must be an altitude or humidity or handling issue but Padrones have been the BEST, and most consistent draw cigars I’ve EVER smoked in my entire life and I’ve smoked most everything. Usually it has something to do with the handling.

[@cigarinspector2023]

It’s a pretty common claim from many people. If lots of people are making the claim then it’s not a handling issue especially if other cigars they have are performing better. Several companies in the industry lean too far towards having a loose draw and it ruins the cigar.

[@MarkMetternichPhotographyLLC]

@@cigarinspector2023 my rant is a hard draw and having to light the cigar over and over. Every time I’ve gotten a Padron that was not abused in handling, you light it once, the ash stacks up almost half the size of the cigar, and it is such a wonderfully easy draw. Really the worst thing is a hard draw where you have to light the cigar tens of times. The only time that has ever happened with me with a Padron is when they have been abused in transit. I’m smoking one now and the draw is actually my favorite thing about Padrones, having smoked them for over a decade.

[@MarkMetternichPhotographyLLC]

@@cigarinspector2023 please let me know WHAT those companies are (if you would) that lean towards the looser wraps. I would like to smoke those. My biggest complaint is when I can’t get a good draw. And I’m always having to poke holes through my cigar. That almost never happens with a quality Padron.

[@lorraineperron4840]

No such thing as the best Nicaraguan cigar, too many great Nicaraguan cigars but this one is really up there with maybe ten other brands all much more reasonable than Padron.

[@shafiehassan7676]

As long it burn smoke. Dont care the draw

[@MarkMetternichPhotographyLLC]

And what do you not care for it?
